Utah State Fair

It's that time of year again! We went with my parents and sister to the State Fair.

First up, the animals. I swear Cambree is the "animal whisperer". She pets everything and they are always calm around her. She must have the touch.

 

 

Then onto pony rides. Last year Cambree talked about riding the ponies for months. I bet we will have a repeat of last year here to come.

 

 

And of course, rides. Love her smile and laugh out of pure happiness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Papa went on a lot of rides with the kids, which they all loved.

 

This was Cambree's favorite ride, it went up, dropped down, and then back up. She laughed hysterically the whole time. These aren't the best pictures but you can see by Cambree's face that she was having the time of her life and you can see on Spencer's face he was terrified. Afterwards she said she wanted to do it again and of course Spencer disagreed.

 

 

Cambree won her first prize from playing a game!

 

Cambree keeps asking if we can go back. She doesn't like my answer that we will go back next year but that will have to do for now.

My Cambree

I feel like she's getting so old. She talks so much better now and she has so much to say. Lately she's been obsessed with saying "Oh! Oh! Oh! I got an idea!" She drives me crazy but at the same time, she just melts my heart. Every night she asks me to lay by her for one minute and then says "I need to tell you something." And then she rambles on about whatever she's thinking about. I know in the future I will miss these moments of her wanting to snuggle with me and telling me whatevers on her mind. Hopefully we will stay close like we are now. Love my Cambree.

 

 

 

 

 

At 1 Years Old

This is the last post about Addie turning 1. I had to jot down where she's at physically and developmentally.

Her stats:
Weight: 14.4 lbs, 0%
Height: 27.25 inches, <5%

 

So she's obviously still really small. I figured as much since she still fits into 3 month clothing. It's crazy this past summer seeing her wear what Cambree wore when she was born. The doctor was concerned about her weight because she is falling off her own curve. She's not on the charts for her age group either. They ran some blood and urine tests and said that she was in the early stage of anemia. So she's taking some medication to help with that. Our doctor told us about meeting with a nutritionist, we'll have to decide if that's something we want to pursue.

 

Developmentally she's right on track. She can say "Mama" and "Dada" and she copies sounds that you make. For example, if you roar like a lion so will she. She also coughs on que if you say "Excuse me." She talks a lot of gibberish.

 

She loves playing with toys especially the play phone. She mimics saying "hello". Benton and I can understand what she's saying but I doubt others would. If she doesn't have her play phone pretty much anything else works.

 

 

Her wave is adorable to me, I just love to see her little hand go up in the air and twirl around.

 

 

She has 8 teeth. She can eat pretty much anything and she loves all types of food. She loves eating goldfish, popsicles, baby food, cheese quesadillas (her all time favorite), yogurt smoothies, pretty much anything you stick in her direction she will try but she has to feed herself. She doesn't like when you stick food in her mouth for her, otherwise she will spit it out, look at it and then stick it back in her mouth.

 

She naps twice a day, about 2 hours each time. And I have been nursing her only at nap time and nighttime. Unfortunately it's changing this week, I'm going to lessen it to only at nighttime.

 

She still is a shy little girl and a mama's little girl for sure. If she is crying and I hold her, she immediately stops. It's cute but also hard at times for myself.

 

 

And at the end of the day she loves to play in the bath with her big sister.

 

 

We love you baby Addie!
