An Update

Wow, it's been awhile! I feel like we've been super busy, but then when I think about what all we've been doing it doesn't really seem like much. :-/ Oh well, such is life, huh? Here is a quick update of the past couple weeks:

• We're buying a house! Yes, that's right. We are under contract on a house in Southwest Longmont. It is in a great neighborhood with lots of kids, down the street from the park and close to great schools. We are really excited, but a little bit overwhelmed at the same time. Buying a house is quite the process. 
• Cameron has become a proficient walker. She is motoring around all over the place now. It's so fun to watch her exploring...on her feet! 
• We had Cameron's one year doctors appointment today. She did great! And she's a healthy girl. Still on the small side of things, she weighed 17 pounds 12 ounces (5th percentile), was 29.25 inches (40th percentile), and has a head circumference of 18 inches (65th percentile). I'm not sure why they switched the head measurements to inches instead of centimeters this time around, but they did. She did have to get two shots—which breaks my heart every time—but she is big enough to pick a prize out of the prize drawer when she's done now, so that was exciting. She got a little purple monkey who we've named Fritz.    
• Cameron is drinking milk now...and it only took her two and a half weeks to get used to the taste (which I thought would NEVER happen!) When she turned one we started to introduce cows milk and she didn't want to have anything to do with it. But then this week she finally finished a cup. I guess I knew it was bound to happen eventually, but sometimes it's frustrating waiting.

Well I think that's about all I have to report. Gosh, that's really not all that exciting at all! Sense posts tend to be a little more exciting with photos, here are a few from the zoo. We went a couple weeks ago with our friends Melissa and Madilyn. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time.

 Lunch time!

Melissa and her little girl Madilyn, who is so sweet. Melissa actually went to middle school with me and then we reconnected at church right before she had Maddy.  

 Checking out all the people 

Checking out the gorillas. If you look closely you can see one in the background.

About 30 seconds after I picked Cameron up and moved her away from the glass, a gorilla ran up and pounded on the glass where she had been standing. It would have been interesting to see how she would have reacted to that...I'm such a mean mommy!

Can you just imagine what those gorillas are thinking?

"Hey, look at all those people out there staring at us. Wanna see something funny? Watch this." BAM. "Hahaha, got em!"
