Sweet Camille is 9 Months Old!
Miss Camille is such an amazing little baby. She is so very mellow, happy, content, and sweet. She loves her brothers (especially Grady!) and enjoys watching all that they do (which is pretty much constant entertainment).
Right now she is taking 2 naps per day and sleeps OK at night, usually waking once in the early AM to eat and then going back to sleep. As far as eating, she eats solids 2-3 times/day but isn't eating too much variety yet, mostly because I try to go slow on her belly. She LOVED mangoes, which was a recent addition to her menu. She also eats peas, carrots, pears, peaches, apples, prunes, watermelon, Cheerios, and Mum-Mums. Chicken was "not her favorite". The baby-lady has a great pincer grasp and has no problem picking up on thing at a time.
She is strong physically and crawls very well now. She pulls up and stands a lot and has stood on her own for a few seconds here and there. She has also walked with her walker quite a few times.
She has 8 teeth and seems to be getting another one currently.
She has a few words, which is fun. She says "mama", "dada", and "bye bye" (so it seems - she also waves).
She really loves books and focuses very well for story. She will even kiss the babies in her "Global Babies" book.
She loves her baby dolls and plays with them as soon as she wakes up. When I come to get her she is almost always playing with one.
She really enjoys being tossed in the air and will often giggle for that.
Some pictures of the baby beauty...
Trying Cheerios for the first time
Happy girl!
Showing a little bum cheek in the kitchen...
She is also getting hair!
Playing with Dada, who she adores!

Anson is off to School!
Just after Labor Day it was Anson's turn to head off to school. He is going to 2k at GCPK (our church preschool, where Grady went for 3 years). It is only 2 mornings a week, but it is a big deal for him! He was VERY excited on the first day!
He sort of looks like he thinks a school bus is about to come by and pick him up
Happy boy
Grady was excited for him too!
He loves his backpack and lunch bag - thank you Nana!
He also loves his new red sneakers! Thanks for those too, Nana!
Anson is so excited to be a "big kid"
We were there before the doors opened
At his classroom door
Washing his hands at the tiny sink with his teacher, Mrs. Jordal
We hope Anson has a fantastic year at school!

Goodbye Summer!
We had a lot of fun at the neighborhood luau at the pool on Labor Day weekend. All of the kids were in a good mood, the water was nice and warm, and there were many yummy things to eat. Perfect!
Enjoying snow cones...
Camille and Dada! She adores Dada lately!
It will be warm and even hot here for a while still, but we enjoyed our unofficial goodbye to summer.

Last Days of Summer
Grady's school has an extended school year, so he basically went back to school in the middle of the summer. It certainly felt like summer (and still does) here in SC. But for Anson, who started school right after Labor Day, there was some more summer fun in store. Grady got to pretend it was still summer on the weekends too.
Anson did go for a meet the teacher, which was fun. Mrs. Jordal was Grady's first teacher and will someday be Camille's too, hopefully.
Anson and I also fit in a fun zoo day!
Anson adores his big bro and tries to be just like him. Do you see a sign of that in this picture?
The super loud monkeys that Ansy loves
Trying to stay cool in the misting area
So handsome
Lions!
Giraffes
In the playground
Snakes
The giant pig
One Saturday Eric decided to help us knock an item off our summer bucket list by bringing the boys to a natural swimming hole
We also made it to the Farmer's Market a second time (you would not believe how badly they wanted to go back). These pictures show just how much my boys love mascots of any type
Another day we went downtown just to explore and splash a bit
And recently Eric helped us with yet another bucket list item - hiking at Paris Mountain
Anson checking out a model of some sort at the lodge
Daddy isn't a big picture-taker, as you can see. I've got a bit more summer fun to share, coming up!
