These are pictures from the last couple of weeks around our house. Camille is growing by leaps and bounds every day! She is growing so much, so quickly...it's hard to believe how much she has changed over the last seven weeks of her life. She is getting so big!
For Aunt Kristie. :)
I love this picture. She looks like she is saying, "Oooh, Mommy! Don't get that camera too close to me!" :)
Claire has been so good to her sister. Sometimes she is not quite as gentle as I would like, but at least it is always well-intentioned. :) Claire is my big helper these days, always running to get Camille a burp cloth and her binky. Just about every time I change Camille's diaper, Claire makes sure to come, too...and she will stand right by the changing table and talk to her sister until everything is cleaned up. :)
My sweet girls in their matching dresses the first day back to church since I had Camille (this was a few weeks ago).
Camille is getting more and more alert every day, but I sure do love those sleeping pictures.
This was taken a couple weeks after Camille was born, when Momma took Claire, Camille, and I to the temple. Claire loved being at the temple for the first time.
Can't go a day without a headband!!! :)
We even played outside in the early evening / late afternoons when it was cooler here a while back...Claire especially loved getting out of the house and playing in the backyard.
My sweet Camille Rose.
This is the crazy volunteer watermelon that has been growing in my flower garden this year. It's M-U-C-H bigger than these pictures now...it fills up the entire pot tripod stand Austin made to support it already! It will be fun to eat when it is ready and ripe. :)
This picture is from when Camille was about 5 weeks old. Not long after Camille was born, she was still about the size of Claire's baby Squeaky (pictured here with Camille). Can you see how she's grown? Now Camille is even bigger than this, and still chunking up fast! :) I love little kissable baby rolls...it just makes them extra cute!
Lately I have been wanting to make Claire and Camille matching clothes...so first on the list was some quick matching skirts! I sewed Camille's first. I'm still working on Claire's at the moment. My favorite part is the eyelet trim on the bottom. But I just love how cute it turned out...almost as cute as my precious girl! :)
I love this sweet face. I simply cannot get enough of her. :)
This last picture is from today. Camille rolls over from her tummy to her back now any time I lay her down on her tummy. She is getting really strong, and can hold her head WAY up high when she is propped up on her arms on the blanket on the ground for tummy time. Her favorite thing is laying down on her back though, and looking up at the fan in our living room...but she also likes the fan in our bedroom, too. She is smiling A LOT now...I tried to post a video that she is smiling in, but apparently the file is too big. :( Camille is also really starting to find her voice, and loves to coo at me when I change her diaper and after she has eaten (if she didn't fall asleep, that is).
I love this sweet girl (and my bigger sweet girl as well), and every day seems like such a gift getting to be with my two precious blessings from Heavenly Father. I am definitely more tired than I would like to be these days, but it is so worth it--I wouldn't want anything else. Being a mother is the best job in the world! :) Frustrating sometimes, but still the best. :) I can't imagine a more rewarding job, and I'm so grateful for my sweet little family. :)
