Visit with Grandma and Pap-pap

(Sorry Pap-pap, we didn't have a new pic of you - you probably took this one!)
Well this last weekend was a great one. Grandma and Pap-pap were in town and the girls of course ate up their love and attention. Camille has really found her voice and she loves using it. She has now spent countless hours in her crib (the time she used to use for sleeping) screaming cute and happy screams. At least they are cute at 4pm, not so much at 4am. Whenever someone walks into her room they are rewarded with the biggest 2-dimple smile ever. That is all it takes and she has Pap-pap wrapped around her little finger. She rolled over too! 3 times this morning. The girls were in my room watching cartoons while I was getting ready for work. Cami is allowed cartoons only if she is doing ‘belly time’ while watching. I kept putting her on her belly and she kept rolling over!

Avery is of course cute as cute could be. She is Grandma’s little shadow. John and I are chopped liver when Grandma is around. John and I just went to a parent teacher conference this morning and her teacher (Miss Beth) told us that she is now “using longer phrases with adults and peers about 75% of the time.” That is up from about 50% in the fall. She is making such great progress. She also knows basic colors, shapes, numbers 1-10 and most letters.

This weekend I wanted to get a picture taken of the girls together. I got them all dressed in coordinating outfits and put cute pigtails in Avery’s hair. They looked great. Once there, Avery decided that they were not going to take her picture. Not one picture was taken of Avery and no amount of encouragement from Grandma or bribery from mom was going to make a difference (even a candy bar). We did get some pretty cute ones of Cami, although I would have put her in a totally different outfit had I known. The outfits were cute together, but separate, not so much. Plus, even though Cami had a bib on until the second before her pics were taken she still has a drool-stained shirt. I give up!
