The past few weeks it's finally hit me that we're going to be a family of 4 very soon. Although I've been preparing for Vienna to come, I have been cherishing the time I have with just Cambry. When I'm too tired to want to do anything but pass out, I find a reserve from somewhere and make sure Cambry gets to be my baby for a little bit longer.
Right now she's fascinated with running water. While I made dinner, she was totally into taking several drinks from her lego, and completely drenched herself.
I left Cambry to play with a friend for my Dr. appointment. When I picked her up, she was wearing her friend's clothes...all boy clothes. First blow out in months, little stinker.
The other morning it was a chilly 68 degrees when we left the house. I brought her a blanket, which worked great while she was in the stroller, but as soon as she was out walking, she kept tripping over it. Which is why we came up with a cape for Super Cambry.
The next morning we tried a sweater, shoes, and socks. She kept looking down at her arms and touching her feet like they were foreign entities. It warmed up later and I took her sweater off, and she was so SAD!! I mean big dime sized tears rolling down her cheeks. So she wore a sweater in 88 degree weather. Worse things have happened.
This was so funny watching this toddler in a pink frilly outfit stare at this steam roller doing it's thing.

Naturally the foilage and stairs were more fun to play with than the playground equipment.

I've been saying for a few months that Cambry's personality around strangers is cat-like: ignore her and she'll like you, give her attention and she'll run away. We had a run in with a cat and it was hilarious to watch. First they circled each other for about 3 minutes.
Next they took turns getting within inches of each other, then retreating.
Finally after about 10 minutes, they were brave enough to touch. I had to hold back my initial instinct to kick the cat for touching my baby. Yuck- get your tail out of her face!!
After a few more minutes of touch and retreat, they decided to be friends.
hahaha I loved the cat and Cambers meet n' greet story. I'm glad you mentioned your urge to kick that cat away from C, that was my urge too, classic.
ReplyDeleteCambry is a cat!! No kicking!
ReplyDeleteI remember being pregnant with Jake and feeling sorry for this new baby as I watched Jarom because I couldn't imagine being able to love another child as much as I loved my first. But then you get a first glimpse and your heart expands with enough love to encircle both. I'm excited to see you next week.
love the baby name! although I thought for a moment that you had a trip to Vienna planned. ;)
ReplyDeleteCambers has gotten so big since May. I feel like she grew up just in time to be in charge of her sister! So crazy. I admire your ability to be such a wonderful mom and wife.
ReplyDeleteI cant believe that you are about to have this new little girls. Yeah! You will be a GREAT mom to both girls and love them both with all of your heart. That is a funny story about the cat. Good luck with this last week of pregnancy.
