Cam is about to outgrow this thing.  It was given to me from a mom at my old job and It's gotten some great use!  Cam gets a kick out of it when it goes fast.  Notice her snuggling with her Sophie.  :)

Cam has done lots of tummy time recently!  She focuses on this crinkly leaf.  It's so cute to watch her get after it!

We did a little roughhousing today.  It made her laugh when I lifted her up like a bench press.  She also loves the "Back Whoop-do Dos."  

Here's the spotting technique:

1.  Lie on your back with your legs bent.  

2.  The baby sits on their bottom with their back is against your shins.

3.  Put your hands over her shoulders.  

4.  Kick up toward the ceiling, while at the same time moving your hands down to the baby's hips.

5.  Flip the baby backwards up and over your head.

6.  The baby lands behind you as you lie on your back.

7.  Go back the other way for added fun!

Levi really focuses on objects.  I tried to get his attention for a smile, but he just kept playing!  He's gotten really good at dexterity.  I've put off the baby-proofing but not for much longer!

More focus time...

I realized that there aren't any photos of the adults in the blog.  So yesterday morning we decided to do a little "photo shoot."  It required a little planning.  Thursdays are Brian's early days so I arrive to relieve Lindley.  Usually I see Brian in the mornings but Thursdays is the exception. Of course we needed both babies to be awake in the morning for the photo shoot.  But sure enough Cam woke up at 5AM so Lindley texted me to say that she'd already be done for her morning nap when Levi and I arrive.  But, Baby Girl wanted to join the party so she actually woke up just in time!

Here are some photos from the day:

Thank goodness that Levi has never seemed to mind his car seat.  He's at the age where he sleeps only a little bit in the car.  This particular day he talked most of the way to see Cam.  It's such a wonderful start to the day to hear him laughing and squealing at himself in the backseat.  Love this Little Man!

Today involved a stop at Starbuck's to stall my arrival in hopes for Cam to wake up.

I got him all dressed up in his fancy tie, jeans and shoes today!  I love this beautiful Dallas neighborhood.  It got up to 80 degrees today!

Cam wore her dress for the fun occasion.  Mom and Baby look great! :)

"Party pic" of the moms!

Levi began his "morning workout" on the floor.  He managed to escape the rug with his backward scooting.  He really goes to town sometimes!  It's always fun at first and after a few moments he's realized how hard he's worked!  He's shown here rounding around the end table in the living room.

Still going...

And...done!  (He ended up in a different room here)!

Cam has gotton much stronger with sitting up.  She can do it with little assistance now.  The nursing pillow seems to help.  I love her expression "I can do it, Juli!"  Nixie stands guard as always.  :)

Cam is getting really good at rolling over now!

Learning to share.

Cam is happy to see her daddy!

Another end to a fun day!

Every once in awhile I text my hubby and Lindley photos of their precious babies.  Too bad they have office jobs and have to miss out on the fun.  Since I have a collection now I thought everyone should be able to see them.  I'll post more as they come.  The most recent ones are posted last.  Going through these I can't believe how much they've already grown.  Now I truly understand the meaning of how "kids grow up so fast!"

These two had some SERIOUS fun today!  Nixie, of course had to join in.  Cam rolled from her back to tummy 3 times in a span of 30 minutes!  She was chowing down on the green leaf in the corner of the playmat.  Levi enjoyed some bonding time with both his girls - Cam and Nixie!  He's starting to turn and navigate himself on his knees and tummy (not crawling yet but VERY soon)!

 Nixie always finds fingers to nibble on

Loving the "blank stare" with these two

Cameron Today...

Cameron reached a major milestone today - she sat up by herself!  I am SO proud of her!

She can also lift her hands and feet off the ground during tummy time.  Don't you just love that expression?!

She has gotten VERY good at sleeping in her crib.  I can put her down awake and she goes right to sleep.  She can teach Levi a lesson on that.  :)

More photos...


Taking photos of these two playing together is my favorite part of the job!

 Nixie thinks this is for her...

Leg Workout

Babies' Favorite Toys...

(Yep, out of all the fancy expensive toys in the world, a wet rag is Levi's fave)!

Both babies have and love a Sophie!
