two and half

On December 19 this little sweets had a half birthday!  I cannot figure out how we are already halfway to 3 with our baby.  This whole raising kids thing is going way, way too fast.  Caimbree has been such a dream.  We keep telling hers he isn't allowed to grow anymore.

*Caimbree is still very shy. She talks non stop at home, but if someone comes over that she doesn't know or we are anywhere, she doesn't make a peep.
*She is very observant and takes everything in wherever we go.  She pays attention to what everyone says and does and when we get home, she gives us a recap of what happened.
*Our biggest daddy's girl of the three.  Jeff absolutely loves this and spoils her rotten because of it!  She will even ask for him to rock her from time to time.  One morning she even told me she wanted daddy to get her out of her crib and she is always so excited when he is home.  There is no shortage of belly laughs when she is playing with her daddy.
*Caimbree often does things she isn't supposed to and when you tell her she isn't supposed to color on the wall

or cut mommy's recipes or whatever she has decided to do, she says, "I sorry mommy!  I do it on purpose.  It's okay."  And she has the sweetest little faces and cutest little voice.  It's hard to be too upset!
*My pickiest eater so far.
*Still can't seem to figure out how to smile on demand.
*Follows her sisters around and loves to be a part of whatever they are doing.  She often talks about her school and her dance class, even though she hasn't started either yet!
*Totally potty trained!  We are 100% diaper free and enjoying this phase!
*Loves to read and to be read to.

*When she wakes up in the

morning she says, "Where did my sisters go?"  If Heidi or Savanna come she will say, "There is my one sister.  Where did the other one go?"
*Most people comment on her bright blue eyes.
*Loves to sing, especially "Frozen" songs.
*Her hair is getting really long.
*She likes to do everything, "My own self".
*She is pretty happy and mellow most of the time, but she has her terrible two moments from time to time.

*Caimbree is super loving and snuggly.  She always wants to be held, hugged, and kissed.
*Caimbree loves to be outside and she especially loves to be at the park sliding on the slides.
*Caimbree is very obedient and likes to please.
*She is very girly and loves to get fancy and she especially love to have her nails painted.
*Calls herself "Caim-ee"

*Loves to run laps around house while being chased.
*Likes to play the game Zingo.
*Caimbree is funny because she likes to reassure herself of things that are usually irrational. We will be heading to her room and she will say, "There is no bear in my room" or things like that.
*Occasionally has night terrors.

Caimbree really is so incredibly funny, but so much of what makes her funny are her little facial expressions and the funny voices she uses.  She has always been such an easy going, good natured little girl and we are so very blessed she is in our family.  We love her so much!
