My 9 month lean machine

Campbell turned 9 months on Wednesday. So...she's basically been out of my belly as long as she was in my belly. Give or take. I took her to the doctor today for her check-up. Same story different day. I used to leave so sad about her weight but you know it is what it is. She weighs 14lbs 7oz(1%)Noggin 16.9(22%) Length 27.83in(60%).

Here's a list of Campbell's favorite things in no particular order
-Me
-Nate
-stuffed animal tiger
-clapping
-scooting
-indian chant(hand over mouth eye ya ya ya eye ya ya ya)
-giggling/babbling
-cell phones
-yogurt
-cords
-paper
-wipes
-hitting herself in the head(I'm not too concerned just yet)
-waving
-the remote control
-screaming(horror movie style)
-splashing in the bathtub

And that's a wrap...

Who Loves This Guy?

I DO! Happy Birthday Dad! You are the coolest!
Here are just a few facts & figures about my Pops in no particular order
-I'm pretty sure he can fix almost anything.
-He likes to dance(maybe I'm lying)
-He is one of the funniest guys I know(he can really zap ya with one-liners)
-Even if he didn't tell me he loves me, I would know that he does.
-He gets me.
-He owns a lot of flashlights.
-He heats up his icecream in the microwave so it's soft.
-All of his occupations start with "F"(father, fireman, farmer, fmechanic)
-He is so cute with my little Campbell

Here is an example of one of the funny conversations I've had with my Dad
ME: Dad, how was church?
DAD: Oh you know, all the main players were there.(Then he proceeded to name all the sweet old ladies that you can count on every week.)
Maybe you had to be there or maybe you have to know my dad but my guts hurt from laughing.

I love you Dad!! Happy Birthday Big Guy!

P.S. My cute grandma LouJean took this picture of my Dad when he was plowing snow. Does he know how to stay warm, or what?

I thought it was funny

Nate and I saw "Get Smart" on Friday night. I give it 3 fist pumps. Not the funniest movie I've ever seen but good enough to recommend.

Scaredy Cat!

I might have a problem. No wait, I do have a problem. I've decided that I need to go on a television diet. I need to cut out all programs that talk about serial killers and animals that eat humans. Monday night was really nice and I wanted to go on a walk but I remembered the story I saw on "Dateline" Saturday night. It was about some rapist/killer that preyed upon women joggers. So, I didn't walk.
My father in-law lives near the mountains. I think his yard is so pretty and when the weather has been nice, I've wanted to take Campbell up there and walk around the premises. Then I remembered the program I saw on "bear attacks." So, I decided to stay home. Am I crazy? Don't answer that.

P.S. I know bears aren't that common around here but you never know. Truthfully, I'm probably more concerned that a cougar will attack me. Oh, now I've said too much.

Leif Garrett Anyone?

When I woke up this morning I stumbled into the bathroom and caught a glance at my reflection. I thought to myself "I look like Leif Garrett." He was before my time but I have seen him way too many times on programs featuring childhood/teen stars that have crashed and burned. So this is random but I thought it was funny that this guy that I know next to nothing about entered my thoughts as I looked at my bedhead reflection this morning.

Love Her!

This is possibly my favorite picture of Campbell. I just love her little guts.
