Pierced Ears

This last weekend Camryn got her ears pierced! I know I've already heard...she is either too old or too young to get her ears pierced...and I win worst mother of the year award, but I have to say it really went better then I even thought it would. I tried when she was much younger, but the incompetent lady working at the Claire's in Vegas that we went to (honestly what was I thinking!) couldn't even get the dots straight with the marker, and after her fifth time trying just with the marker I decided that she was not touching my baby with anything more permanent and we left. So, after that experience it took a couple years, and a new city, to trust anyone with a piercing gun again. Lately Camryn has been really into jewelry, purses, nail polish, and make-up. She puts on every piece of jewelry she owns and calls herself a princess. She also watches me getting ready and loves when I wear jewelry. She has been saying that she wants earrings like mommy. I just don't think she realized what that really meant, but I told her she could and the next time we were at the mall the opportunity presented itself.
Cam was so excited! She was told to sit in the chair and hold the bear. It took a while for the paperwork and such so Cami ended up getting a bit bored.
Then it came...not exactly what she expected!
This literally lasted for maybe 15 seconds. Then she got a lollipop and a mirror to see her new earrings and she was all smiles!
"Look I have earrings now!"

It's a BOY!!!!!

I was once again wrong about the sex of the baby. I did the same thing with Camryn. I was so sure this baby was a girl...yet the ultra sound begs to differ. I can't say that I was disappointed though (and Scott definitely wasn't). Who wouldn't want one of each we are thrilled!! The baby looks very healthy, but I was told I have a condition called Placenta Previa...I wont go into details but it can definitely complicate this pregnancy for me. I am now on semi-bed rest, yuck! I just can't seem to ever have a normal, stress free pregnancy. I am just glad that the baby is healthy... and a BOY!

Favorite Shirt

Camryn has never really cared about what she wears. I just usually pick something out for her and she puts it on...that was until she was given this Disney shirt from Papa and Grandma Jackie. As soon as we got home from our trip and she opened it she had to put it on immediately! I thought that was so cute so I helped her change into her new shirt. It is now 3 days later and she has worn it 2 out of the 3 days...and that is only because I insisted we wash it in between. She is too funny. It is amazing to me how fast she is growing up...and forming her own opinions. Thanks for the gifts Papa and Grandma Jackie!

Our trip to the beach and the zoo

Last week Camryn and I spent five days at Carpinteria Beach with my best friend and her awesome family and we then went to the zoo with Grandma Lloyd and Steve. Camryn had a blast and I must say it was some much needed relaxation for me. The only thing that could have made it better is if Scott could have been there. Unfortunately he had to work...something about paying the bills or something dumb like that. Well, there's always next year!
