Bella has wanted a tablet for awhile. We had told her that if she saved her money she could have one. We decided it would be a good item to teach money management. She saved for over a year, and she finally saved enough. She bought her tablet this week!
Of how I love Christmas! Other than the mess its made of my house, which I'm sure will never be clean again, this Christmas was great! I hope yours was too!
I absolutely love this time of year. Lots of family time, decorations, good food, shopping, and pretty lights.
Cambri had her doctors visit last week and she is doing great! She was 27 pounds (30th percentile) and 35 inches (also 30th percentile). She is meeting all of her developmental goals and exceeding them. That's right, she has also met all the 3 year old developmental goals! I told you from the get go her big head meant she was a baby genius!
I really really really wanted a tree that turned orange or red in the fall. As I noticed all the other trees start to change and mine stay green, or turn to brown I just knew I didn't have one. I was wrong! I do have one, it was just confused and took longer to change! Its officially Fall at our house!
It has officially been two weeks since Cambri last had bink and it is finally going well. It was okay during the day right away, but nap and bedtime were a struggle. She went three days without a nap making bedtime even more of a struggle, but we are finally getting the hang of it. She still asks out of the blue "where's bink?" I think its more to see if I will give her one accidentally then it is she actually wants bink. We are finally going to nap and bed without asking for bink. I think its safe to say we are oficially binkless. Which means my baby is no longer a baby... She is potty trained and without a bink, she is officially a big girl!
After Shaft died I read the book Chicken Soup For The Dog Lovers Soul and saw this quote in one of the stories, "When we lose a pet, it breaks our heart's - but when our heart's mend, they expand somehow to accept another four-legged family member, a process to be repeated many times during a pet lovers lifetime. So the pain of loss - however great - is just one step in the journey of making our heart's capable of experiencing more and more love" - (Legacy of Love - Marty Becker, D.V.M)

We took the girls to the Omaha Zoo today, they loved it and had a great time. Here is some pictures!
Cambri loves looking at pictures. She is constantly scrolling through my phone looking at pictures and old videos. Tonight she asked me to show her pictures when she was in my tummy. She asks that a lot, but tonight she wanted to "see the big ones." The "big ones" refer to me at about 38 weeks pregnant, and tonight it gave her an idea. She was going back in. She first thought she could get in through my belly button, but quickly gave up and decided to just crawl in my shirt instead. It was quite entertaining and made us all laugh. She sure is one entertaining little girl.
I had a really good weekend. It started with a sleep over for the girls and their cousins Friday night. Then we had a K State football game Saturday with some great friends from Kansas City. Sunday we watched football and then took the girls to a pumpkin patch with their cousins. It was one of the most relaxing event packed weekends I have had in awhile. Though next weekend might top it, this was one of the best so far!
