I'm almost done with the shopping, just a few more gifts to go. I've yet to even have to enter the mall. Then I've got to tackle the wrapping, about 1/2 way through I'll probably resort to the bags. I've done a lot of my shopping online this year and it's all already arrived except one gift for Niki, that I didn't order until Sunday, so it's gone pretty smooth so far. Stocking stuffers...I haven't gotten those yet!

2007

Look how they've changed

2008

Yesterday we went to see Santa. Both girls acted just as I expected, Ryan loved it and Camryn was terrified. The photographer snapped 3 with Camryn just screaming her head off, she asked if I wanted her to try again...

I guess she thought, Camryn would calm down...she doesn't know our Camryn. She was totally fine as soon as I took her off Santa's knee, but a few tears were worth the picture. It'll be the same next year, but I'm going to take them every year until they are just too old.

Camryn and mommy

Ahhh!

Ryan the scary tiger

She said she was going to scare daddy when he got home, but she got side-tracked when Blake came over to get his pictures that she drew for him for his birthday. She I think she has a little crush, (look out Mandy).

wasn't happy when we got home after his party and we'd forgot to give them to him.

Growing and changing

Camryn had her 18 month check-up yesterday...she's 22 lbs and 31 inches long, so she's in 25% for her age. We're thinking she's going to be smaller, where Ryan was always at the other end of the growth chart. Camryn had to get 2 shots, she screamed and cried for less than a minute and she was fine. As we pulled into the garage after the appt., I was telling Ryan that Cam's left leg may be sore for a few days and that she may even get a rash. Then I go to get her out of the backseat, she's just brawling...she said she didn't want Camryn to be hurt. She's so sensitive, she was still crying in her room five minutes later. So to make her feel better, I told her that it was her job as big sister, to make sure that everyone knew that Camryn's leg might be sore. She was good with that and she let Jared know as soon as he got home.
