Pumpkin Patch Fun!

I finally got the pictures from the pumpkin patch we went to a few weeks ago with Aunt Casey and Uncle Aric. It was a lot of fun, and Campbell thoroughly enjoyed it! Crazy that this is the first year of many visiting the pumpkin patch! We went to the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm in Richardson this year because it was really close to Jacob's work, and we had lunch with daddy before we went! We went on a hayride, fed the goats, and enjoyed picking our own baby pumpkins! Campbell had this scrunched up nose face in almost every picture, but she's still so adorable! Enjoy the pics Casey took, and these are just a few...I had like 60 to choose from!

October 15

Today is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day---it's a struggle that 1 in 4 women have to endure...losing a baby...and I'm one of those women. It's hard to believe that this is the 3rd year I have celebrated this day. My own loss with my first pregnancy has helped me to have a deeper understanding of the broken dreams and hopes of so many women, but also a deeper appreciation of the miracle of life. I thank God everyday for giving me Campbell, and blessing our family like He has. I have such a deeper realization of how fragile life is. 

Light a candle today to remember all the babies that didn't get to meet their mommas (& vice versa) but will one day!

Sick baby...boo

So Campbell took an extra long nap yesterday, which is extremely abnormal...and woke up with 104 degree fever. She felt pretty crummy and we spent the afternoon in the chair watching Mickey... Daddy got home late and got to put her to bed. She has been willing to lay down and falling asleep fast for naps, which can be a struggle sometimes...

We went to the Dr today and she has an ear infection. We are starting antibiotics. We have had lots of tears today. She just genuinely doesn't feel good. I took her for a ride in the wagon around the block, and before we could make it home she was fussy and just ready to be back inside. It's nice and warm outside, but looks like we won't be getting out anymore today.

She has little spurts of energy, but that's about it. She tells me she is hungry, but doesn't eat much and gets cranky. May be a long few days. Pray for my girl to get better soon. I just hate having a sick baby girl.

Here are a few pics we took on my Mac photobooth! I can almost guarantee a laugh from C when I put on the different facial effects and we take pictures together!

Currently...

Time: 2:59

Location: Sitting in the chair, just unloaded groceries and restocked/organized the pantry/fridge.

Eating: a handful of wasabi almonds

Drinking: just finished a fruit punch spark...more on that later on...

Watching: trying to catch up on my DVR'd shows that Jacob doesn't like to watch.

Listening: oh nothing at the moment...

Loving: The little voice Campbell has, and her cute personality! I fall more in love every single day if that is possible!

Enjoying: just sitting here, relaxing, even if it's just for a few minutes!

Needing: My girl to take better daytime naps. She has been struggling so much lately. I'm afraid this means that we are transitioning to 1 nap a day, but everyday I'm home with her she begs for a nap by 10 am.... it's really the afternoon nap that we struggle with.

Preparing: actually just started the Advocare 24 day challenge yesterday...so I have been preparing my brain for a cleanse and the challenge as well as the next step...I have a checklist helping me out! So far so good. Ask me in a few weeks :)

Wanting: To be very committed to this 24 day challenge. I think this is so good for my body, and I want to get positive results!

Thinking: How long will my girl nap? So far she has woken up 30 minutes into the nap, cried, laid back down for 10 minutes, got up and cried, and she's back down again!

Creating: I am in the process of making our front living area, Campbell's playroom. She is getting a kitchen for Christmas, and I am trying to make her her own little play spot, that is not in the middle of my living room :) My next house will have a designated play area/room for sure!

Wondering: How our little photo shoot at the pumpkin patch went with Aunt Casey, and also wondering if we can get our family photos done before it's time to order Christmas cards :) Yikes...it will be here before I know it!










Sorry if you've already seen these on my instagram...I need to be better about getting my big camera out...and hopefully we will have some fun pics from Aunt Casey soon :)

Have a wonderful weekend!

17 Months...

Cami,

Wow! How are we just one month away from you being a year and a half old? Didn't you just turn ONE? This month has been kinda rough, but super sweet all the same! You, miss Campbell Grace, have 4 new teeth this month, 10 total! It's funny how the teeth on the right side of your mouth come in first. With these new teeth, and the constant runny nose, now a cough...your eating and sleeping has been waaaaay out of wack. The last few days, it seems to be getting better, so I pray we are on the tail end of things, except Mommy knows that teething lasts for a loooooonnng time.

You are just a delight to your daddy and me. I have been known to talk in my sleep, but lately I have been laughing/giggling...according to your daddy. I have a feeling, this is because you are wearing me out, but ALSO because you are hilarious and we, as a family, just laugh and laugh together. You bring us so much joy, I can't even stand it! God has so blessed us with your funny, sweet spirit!

We have been enjoying more and more time at the playground/park! The weather has been beautiful and you love to climb and play your little heart out! And go down that BIG slide...I just can't stand how big you are getting!

You love to say HI or Hello(heyo) to almost everyone. You also still wave bye bye, with the perfect pageant wave, haha!

Your favorite word these days is puppy! You wake up saying it...you love Duke and any puppy for that matter. You are such a helper to mommy by helping me feed Duke. You like to take things to the trash, and open and close doors. You help pick up your toys. But you still make a gigantic mess. And I know that won't change for a while.

I am impressed that you are matching colors and animals in your animal puzzle. You are still such a book worm, but we have such sweet moments reading with each other!

I love you, I love you, I love you!!! You are my world :)
