Enjoyable Photos

Some of these photos are embarrassing. Like the one where Penny is watching the television. I could just see that picture showing up in some parents magazine with the title "Too young for television" or "What kind of mother are you." I assure you that Penny does not watch t.v. She is much too active to bother with that business. Also, Nate offered to photoshop Campbell's room so it looks clean. I want to keep it real here on the Troublemakers so it is what it is.

I walked in on Campbell taking a 5 minute break.
I left the room to grab my phone and when I returned I found Penny in this relaxed position.
Carly, this reminds me of the slide photo you have of Farrah. Maybe I should do her hair like this for church.

Whenever Campbell is caught napping it is a pretty big deal to begin with. She reminds me of a pet in this pic. All snuggled up at the bottom of the bed. She made sure to place her stuffed animal entourage next to Nate. That a girl.
Campbell calls the double stroller the double-you stroller.
I met some other mom's in our stake. This next picture was taken on one of our play dates at the L.A. Arboretum. They had a bunch of kid size tunnels. Campbell loved running through all of them. Not the best picture but she was running at the time.
See you in December.

Campbell & Penny

I'm due for an update. I figured if I held out long enough maybe we would get some visitors. It worked(right Nikki?). The girls are growing so fast. Here are just a few things.

Nate and I have noticed that Campbell is really into shoes and accessories. She is still playing for the skins team but she will add a hat or her recent favorite...gloves. She is really attached to gloves lately. She calls them her pinks(because they are pink). I tried to get her to take them off before we went into church but she put up a big fight. She was willing to let pooh bear sit in the car but refused to remove the gloves. The nursery leaders said she wore them the whole time. She even managed to work with her play-doh while wearing them. Gross. Speaking of nursery. The leaders really love Campbell. Apparently they think she is hilarious. She cracks me up but it is interesting to hear it from someone else. Campbell likes to look at dinosaurs on the computer. This means I google dinosaurs and pull up the images. I just let her look at them and hope she gets bored. She will look at them for at least 10 minutes. She is loving her Mickey Mouse playhouse dvd. She particularly likes Goofy and Pete. She brings her little drawing pad over to me and makes me draw Goofy or Pete. Nate thought I was drawing an elephant.

Sometimes discipline is required and Campbell spends a few minutes in her room. This morning I had to give her a time out and when I set her free she said "Campbell is very sad" over and over again.
She can be very encouraging at times. I often hear a "good job momma" coming from her. This usually happens when I do something really hard like pop popcorn in the microwave. It always makes my day when I hear it coming from her sweet voice.

Penny is enjoying her new freedom of crawling. She is all over the place. She LOVES Campbell and usually tries to keep up with her big sister. Campbell has learned the hard way not to lay on the ground when Penny is around. Penny loves hair and takes any opportunity to get a fist full of it. Her favorite toy at the moment is any kind of remote control. She is starting to get really possessive of her toys. She is such a sweet girl but she comes unglued if you mess with her stuff. One tricky thing about Penny crawling is that I have caught Campbell trying to ride her like a horse. There was only one time when I made it to the crime scene too late. Luckily Penny's little back was not injured. Oh the joys! We love our little girls.

I was going to add photos to this post but I don't know where they are on the computer. I will have to wait for Nate.
