Cameron's First Pigtails

When CamCam was a teeny-tiny, people ALWAYS thought she was a boy.  Regardless of how much pink she had on, the fact that she never kept a bow on her head resulted in millions of "how old is he?", "oh he's a precious boy!" blahblahblah.  I really didn't care to be honest.  I know that the name "Cameron" threw people off even more, so I would just say thanks and, "oh, by the way...she's a girl.  don't feel bad...everyone calls her a boy!"  I'm pretty sure people still felt bad.  :)

We're pretty far past the gender confusion stage, but just for those who might still have the inkling to call my C-Lil a boy, SHE CAN NOW ROCK THE PIGGIES!! I pulled Cam's hair into pigtails the other day and um... I melted.  She looked SO presh.  her hair just seems to get thicker and longer everyday!  I'll prob have to give her first trim soon to keep those bangs out of her eyeballs.  (tear).  So crazy that my leetle lovebug is getting so big! 

Aves was this age when Cameron was born (actually about a month younger), and it's just so crazy to think back to how OLD we thought Averton was.  Sweet little nugget was still SUCH a teeny baby and had to take on the big sis role.  But man, she did SO great at it, and continues to bring joy to my life by being SUCH a sweet, tenderhearted, caring big sis.  

Love my girlies.  

And LOVE these pigtails :)

Bocky-Bocky!!

Tonight we turned our living room into a bounce house/wrestling ring.  The girls were in heaven.  Aves exclaimed "bocky bocky!!" And "yayyyy pehpohs!" over and over again w/SUCH glee. (High five if you can successfully translate.) The Caminator just flopped rolled and bounced until I thought we were going to see her dinner re-appear. Presh.  LOVE watching our rambunctious little ladies giggle and play together.  They make Brian and I pretttty happy :)

Sleep ISSUES!!

Aves has been a champion sleeper since she was 3 weeks old.  NEVER had to do any kind of sleep training/ferber type of stuff.  She just slept.  I had to wake her up in the middle of the night to feed her!  It was awesome...and HAS BEEN awesome for the last 22.5 months.  Well, ever since we got back from Galvy my little one has been STRUH.GUH.LING.  Once we returned from Austin this past wknd, we are finally home all together everynight for the rest of the week, so we are busting out some Ferber method up in this joint.  Poor Aves.  I feel bad doing it @ the age of almost 2.  It seems meaner when they can cry out your name.  She is fighting hard, but we're on night #3, and the process was significantly shorter tonight.  We shall see.  I miss seeing this...

...within 10 minutes of putting her in bed!  

Speaking of Ferber action...we did this with Camo @ about 4.5 months...once the colicky stuff ended (which coincidentally happened at the same time that we switched to formula...hmm...).  Worked like a charm, and we've never looked back!  Nightnight time is super pleasant for little Camerton {and us...usually}.

One super-cute thing we've discovered via this minor sleep-related drama is how in tune with each other the girls are!  Avery wakes up every morning asking for Camo.  She goes down easier when we let her say night-night to her baby seester.  If Camo hears Aves crying, she cries intensely for about 4 seconds in approx 1-min increments...just to let Aves know she feels her pain.  It's kind of hilarious & sad & adorable all wrapped into one.  Love my little nuggets!

 

Bradfords ReUnited!!

We're home!!

B-Riz, Aves, & I had a SUPER time in Galvy w/Casizzle, Gmoney, & Tatum.  However, we are sooooooooooo beyond happy to be reunited w/the youngest Bradford!  We MEESED our little Camo!  Aves was so pumped to see her.  Seriously...presh.  She was @ her wit's end for most of our 7-hr car ride home, but at the mere mention of Cameron's name, the most massive and genuine smile EVER spread across her cute little face :)  Although Camo is a bit under the weather {shocker, i know} I'm pretty sure she's also THRILLED about our reunion :) 

Love my girls.  Love my hub.  Love the Wegs.  Love the beach.  Love my life :)
