Birthday Party Time!

We celebrated Cami's first birthday on June 5th (what felt like the hottest day ever!) and it was fuuuuun. Didn't much other than the usual, you know, cake, ice cream, pinata, candy.... But I do have to make a disclosure, right here, right now--that was way too much work--Cami is not having another birthday party until she's sixteen, and that's debatable bc I think I would rather buy her a car then plan another party. :)

Hahahah! There literally was no other way to do the pinata-stop judging us!

Happy birfday to yuuuuu!

Play NICE Cami!

My parenting skill need some tweaking because my daughter is an absolute brute! Geeez! Poor Alba Liz gets tackled by Cami everytime she sees her. Cami probably gets way too excited when she sees someone else that's her size and this must be her version of hugging and kissing (yes, Dominicans are touchy/feely people--some of you have NO idea). Anyway here's some cute videos of my daughter's craziness that I thought you guys might enjoy.

She might have a career in the WWE someday?

Cami's First Birthday

Does anyone even read this? Hahahah! Well, anyway!

My Cami-poo turned one year old yesterday and I have to say my mommy-ness turned on for some reason. Don't get me wrong, I did have the OMG feeling when I first saw her in the hospital. However, like 2 days ago, I looked at her funny little face and I was so overwhelmed with this awe of WOW, this is really my child. I felt all this love for this funny little creature :). Maybe that only makes sense to other moms. Someday, Cami, you'll read this and hopefully by then I willl be a lot better at describing how amazing you are and how much I love you <3

Cami is having an official birthday party on Saturday, but we wanted commemorate the actual day she was born so we got a (not so) small cake. Needless to say, Cami took the cake to town.

Here is a video of our awful rendition of happy birthday-hehehehe!

Here are some pictures of the aftermath!

It's Been So Long

Yep, I'm still horrible at updating this :( Cami, in case you haven't noticed, is HUGE! She is walking and has 8 teeth! She'll be a year old next week---wow! time really does fly when you're watching kids grow. Some of her favorite things nowadays are animal crackers, swings and YO! Gabba Gabba! (ok, maybe Yo! Gabba, Gabba, is one of MY favorite things--DJ Lance Rock is the man! That's all I have for now, I don't even have a super recent picture but there's more to come, promise!

Cami is still NOT SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT! Not the worst thing in the world considering that she only wakes up a couple of times and if I feed her and give her a bath she'll only wake up once. Last week we began to put her in her crib in her own room and it wasn't really happening (1) she kept waking up for no reason and (2) it was way too far for me to get up and nurse so after two days of trying the personal space route I gave in and brought her back into my room. Until I stop nursing she'll probably stay in there because I'm too lazy to walk 10 ft in the middle of the night :( He're a picture of what she looks like in her precious pack and play--how could I interupt such peacefulness?...(sigh) motherhood...



I've also been working on my crocheting skills, here's some picture of a funny little had I made for Cami, mitts to come! It took her some getting used to but as you can see she enjoys the funny little hat.

We strike poses...

Cami's got two teeth--she's had one of them for over a month and the second one just popped out in the last week or so. I finally got her to show the them! She's been an excellent teether to this point, she's barely cried and hasn't any of the fever/diarrhea that kids usually have. The only weird thing is that she's taken to chewing on belts and the remote control...random!

Cami's Blessing/Family Pictures

Today was Cami's fifth monthday and her blessing. It was so wonderful to have Jonathan give her a blessing (that I didn't hear bc the microphone at church didn't work) and to have all of our closest friends with us. Cami had a beautiful dress handmade by Rosalba and we decided to take family pictures after. Enjoy!
