Can it really be the end of July?

I can't believe it's already the end of July. I don't know where the time has gone! Campbell has walking everywhere for quite a while now - I can't even remember what it was like when she crawled.

She signed 'milk' last week on the cruise, she consistently signs 'water', plus she knows 'more' and 'all done'. It's so neat when she lets me know what she wants!

This picture was taken in Cloquet on our way back home from Up North. Campbell loved the slide & kept signing for more!

Wedding Cruise

We just got back from Rylan & Elizabeth's wedding cruise. Campbell is such a good little traveler! Mariah worked with Campbell and now she does the 'water' sign very consistently. Also, Mariah taught her how to dance. She would pick Campbell up and dance with her, then ask if she wanted more & Campbell would nod her little head and put her hand out. So cute!

Sun

At the lake for 4th of July. It was pretty crazy. I think I counted 16 kids - all having a blast!

Janell taught Campbell how to say 'sun' by pointing at the sunset.

First Swim in the Lake

Campbell took her first swim at the lake & she loved splashing around. She had the biggest smile on her face.

Steps

Campbell's first step was on the deck at the cabin on Memorial Day. Then it was 3 steps in front of Grant & Dede. Then 8 steps was the record. 16 steps. 32 steps. 50 steps. 75 steps on the patio at Deb & Paul's. Then it got hard to count. All of a sudden Campbell doesn't crawl any more - just walks. How did that happen? Greta from daycare predicted she'd be walking by 10 months & she was just about right.

Here's a picture of Campbell after she stole Gabe's new hat.

Stay at Home Mom

Where has the time gone? I haven't posted since March! Campbell is 10 months old already. This week is my second week home full time & I'm LOVING it! We've been going to the gym, going for walks, making dinner. I even cleaned the bathrooms last night & vacuumed today! We got to spend several days in Virginia visiting and we had such a great time! Here is a picture of Campbell playing the piano at Ginia-mom & Papa Stan's house in Melrude & also one of Grandma Deb showing Campbell a doll bed that she made for me when I was little.

Campbell is starting to take her first steps - I counted 8 today!

2nd Tooth

Knocking on the door to play with Ellie Tez, I noticed Campbell's 2nd tooth poking thru! Campbell had a lot of fun eating Ellie's cookies.
