Oh my goodness! Where does the time go? Driving into work this morning I realized that it is only a week before Christmas. It seems like Thanksgiving was just last week. I think (hope) that I am done shopping except for stocking stuffers. Still have to clean the house good since John's folks will be here on Sunday.
Cami is now 5 months old and growing every day. She is now turning over from her back to her stomach (her preferred position), laughing versus giggling and holding her bottle for short periods of time. She is doing the "swim", so I don't think it will be long before she starts crawling. I glanced around the living room the other day and decided that I would have to start thinking about what needed to be child-proofed.
I don't know how Paula does it with five kids. I took care of Cami on Saturday since Sara had to work and I had appointments and errands that I needed to take care of. I guess I forgot how much extra effort it is to have a baby with you when you do those things. I didn't get everything done because of the extra time spent feeding her, changing her diaper and just getting her in and out of the car. Hmmm - wonder if part of that is just me getting older. :) Oh well, it was fun for both of us and we had good naps that afternoon.

We've never been very good about getting family pictures done. Sara pointed out that we haven't had one taken si
nce she was in elementary school. Our goal in the next week is to see if we can't get Jason home for a little while and go get some done. In the meantime, this is one of Cami that her Grandma Dora had taken. She was nice enough to give us one. The dress is one that Dora bought for her. I love the expression on Cami's face.
Cami is really starting to roll over from her back to her stomach at will. She is still working on going from her stomach to her back. She is also trying to hold her bottle and is sucking on her lower lip a lot (I remember both Jason and Sara doing that). Being a grandparent is pretty awesome. It is less stressful than being a parent and we seem to be noticing all of the milestones of her growing up more than with our own kids. I thank God daily for bringing this precious bundle into our lives.
