The Island Life

Wow its been awhile. We took the last few weeks and have really settled into life here in Anacortes, and we are loving it. We feel home. Its been pretty amazing.

Chris is still working a ton, but we've filled our days with play dates, trips to the zoo, playing at the park, long walks, and feeling blessed to be by our wonderful family and friends. I have jumped back on the "trying to lose the baby weight" train and am thinking about joining the gym. We're still unpacking some boxes and settling in, but life feels good right now. Its been pretty quiet. Quiet is good these days ;)

Camden is growing like a weed, is almost 10 months old, and wears size 18-24 months. He weighs in at 24 lbs and he is solid. He's really developing into his own little person. Camden is quiet, sweet, and the quirkiest little dude you'd ever want to meet. He's shy, reserved and loves his big sister more than anything. He is crawling everywhere, sits up, and is even walking a few steps behind a walker.

Laila has made a big transition and has turned into such a little girl. Goofy as ever, she is confident, sweet, silly, and giggly. She takes a little dance class and goes to preschool once a week. She is starting a little soccer activity with Chris this week that she's super excited about. She is now in a big girl bed, working on potty training, and talking. Non-stop. All day long. She usually needs some translation, but we can understand her for the most part. She is such a little helper. Her favorite thing to do help with is hold the front door open for me as I'm getting Cam or groceries out of the car and I always tell her to watch her fingers. So the other day she was standing on the front porch holding the door open, yelling at the top of her lungs, "Waaaaatch yo PEEEEEEENIS mama!!!!!" Translation? Watch your fingers mama! To the neighbors? OMG.

Laila has decided she loves her little brother (sometimes) and they are actually starting to play together which has been so fun. Watching their relationship develop has been pretty incredible. Laila rarely calls Camden by his name and refers to him mostly as Baby. Or Cambo.

I've really missed this space - more frequent posts to come!
Happy Sunday :)
