Camryn lately

I feel like Camryn has changed so much in the past month.  She is walking EVERYWHERE now.  And she has gotten attached to this little Cinderella doll.  Mostly because she watches Kate and Brynlee and then tries to do everything they are doing...

She can build a block tower...

She's right in the middle of everything they are doing...including playdoh.

Her hair is getting curlier every day!


She insisted on doing dot markers...and did pretty well. 

We've dropped the morning nap...most days, but now this happens a lot...

She got a gown just like the big girls. 

She is talking more and more every day.  She can point to her ears, hands, nose, and toes and show you her tongue.  She can point at most animals in a book and sometimes says their names or sounds.  She is still really easy going most of the time.  Such a fun stage!

Car seat shuffle

It's been time to move Camryn out of the "infant" car seat.  So we got Brynlee a new "big girl carseat" and passed Brynlee's down to Camryn.  Camryn is now forward facing...

And Brynlee is loving having a seat just like Kate's!

Gymnastics

 The girls had their 1st gymnastics class on Friday.  Ready to go...

I usually make the girls take a picture without their animals...so then they want to take one of just the animals.  I have taken so many pictures like this...
 After I took the pictures of Kate and Brynlee, Camryn walked up to the door and said, "DEEEEEESE."
 JuJu and PaPa T and the girls...


 The girls did awesome.  Warming up...

Kate...

Brynlee...

Such a great first day!  

GIGANTABUGS!

Over a month ago Emma told Kate about these "gigantic bug statues that move" at the zoo.  Ever since then Kate has been asking when we can go see them.  So Thursday we met my parents and sister and her kids at the Fort Worth Zoo to see the GIGANTABUGS.  I had no idea what to expect.  And I was hoping the "bugs" met Kate's expectations...

and they did.  They were actually really cool.  This was the 1st one we saw...the GRASSHOPPER.

Praying Mantis...
 

Lightning Bug...

Spider...

And we saw some real animals too.  


 This Bombardier Beetle sprayed water...which these 3 thought was hilarious. 
 Kate loved getting sprayed...
 Brynlee was not interested in that...


 Brynlee did like the ladybugs...



 Kate had fun playing under this fountain...
 Before we left, all the girls "made a penny" and they were thrilled!!

So grateful for AWESOME teachers who LOVED our girls all year.
