Halloweenie
I know what you're thinking. "Hey, it's March. It's a little early to be thinking about Halloween."
Well, my friend, that's where you'd be WRONG!
Jake and I have decided on our Halloween costumes (and Camille's), and they are SO AWESOME that we have to plan way ahead for them.
So what are we going as?
Jake is going to be Captain Buck Rogers.
I'm going to be Colonel Wilma Deering.
And Camille is going to be Twiki.
OK, admit it. Our costumes are going to be off the hook!

Six Months Old
Camille is six months old!!
Camille sits up very well now. Sometimes she still falls over, usually straight onto her face, but she's much better at leaning over and grabbing toys and not falling.
She likes her baby laptop a lot, but I hate the damn thing. The songs get stuck in my head.
She kinda claps. She'll smack her hands together if you clap, but it doesn't make any noise. Whatever! Close enough.
She's way better at turning over, both ways. She'll flip all around if she's in the mood. She also does something that Jake and I call "bulldozing." She'll be on her tummy, and she'll wedge her feet into the floor and stick her butt way up. Then she'll push herself forward, thus bulldozing anything in her way with her head. She bulldozed right off the edge of the bed one day. She fell onto a pillow that was on the floor, but it scared her so she cried anyway. I almost cried, too.
Her most recent feat is illustrated in this picture:
There's the first step toward crawling!! She'll push up on her hands and knees, but she doesn't know where to go from there. She just sits like that for a few minutes, then she'll fall onto the ground or start crying. I know that when she actually starts crawling I'm going to hate it, but I'm still looking forward to it.
Now is the start of her sign language learning. We're starting with "eat," "more," and "milk." Once she can actually sign those, we'll move on to "pain," and then whatever else pops into my head. Or Jake's head. When she signs "poop," I'll know where she learned it.

| I took like 900 pictures and her facial expression didn't change at all. I guess this month we'll have a deadpan picture. |

Florida: Days 6 and 7
On Thursday, Jake and I kinda had an easy day. We went to the beach again in the morning, and it was crazy windy. Then, we kinda farted around for a little bit, and then went to dinner at a yummy Asian restaurant called Pacific Rim.
On Friday, we left. :( We had brunch in the morning, packed a little bit, and then went to Marie Selby Botanical Gardens.
After we got back, we packed, took naps, ate Panera Bread (aaaauughhhhh getinmymouth), and then we went to the airport. Camille did pretty well on the flights. She slept almost the whole time from Atlanta to Salt Lake City, which was awesome, but when she woke up, she wanted to party. And she woke up right as we landed. So she was awake and bouncing around while we were driving home and trying to go to sleep. Blehhh.
We had a funtastic time, and I'm so sad we only got to spend a week there. One day, we'll live in Florida! Until then, little snippets will have to do. :)
