Week 7 and 9

Week 7 - Camilles is only as big as her toy Sock Monkey! (*note my t-shirt says "Mom in Training" Thats an understatement...there is no training I learned)

Week 9 - Family picture at Stone Creek Coffee in Bay View

July 6 - 6 weeks 3 days

July was a very eventful month. As Camille became more predictable, Steve and I got out with her even more. In this picture is Tuesday night's Chill on the Hill - live music outdoors in Bay View. In July Camille attended her first birthday party, fireworks, parade(s) and even a rock show courtesy of Pabst Blue Ribbon! Other baby events include me getting pooped on, Camille's first sounds that weren't cries and her baby hair falling out to form a little rat tail. On July 20, at 8 weeks 3 days Camille weighed in at 11lbs 4.5oz and out grew her newborn diapers. July 22 Nanita (my mom) came for a visit to love on baby. Camille is a very easy to please little baby. She loves to look out on her surroundings, and dislikes an environment where she can't see whats going on. She especially likes playing in her chair with Nanita, listening to Grandma Kay's songs and laughing at Grand Dad Robert's funny faces. Most of all Camille loves swaying with Daddy.

June 28 - 5 weeks 2 days

At five weeks we are starting to understand little Camille even better. Steve discovered that she could be lulled to sleep by dancing to CCR on the turntable, and I learned that there are alternate ways to tote a baby ... as seen in photos above. Also on this day our stove caught flame and Camille took her first trip to Stone Creek Coffee in Whitefish Bay (where mom works) where sheas greeted by many many adoring fans. Camille is weighing in at 9 lbs 2oz!

From 4 days to 11 weeks - Time Flies

Our little Camille is growing so fast. I hope that this blog is helping to tell her story. In these images are 4 day old Camille at the doctor and 11 week old Camille in her bonnet and cute vintage swim suit at our friend Owen's birthday party. Camille isn't the only one growing... I can't help but notice Steve's demeanor. His face from picture to picture really describes what its like to go from brand new parents to slightly more experienced parents of an infant. Isn't it grand?!

Today is mine and Steve's first anniversary. What an amazing year we have had. Thank you to everyone for making our lives and the new life of Camille's so rich and wonderful. To another year full of surprises!
