Happy 1st Birthday Campbell Grace!!

A year ago today our second blessing in life was born. She managed to enter the world three weeks early and still weigh 7 lbs. 12oz. The day was perfect. I went in to see Dr. Sigman and she sent me to L&D. The delivery was fast and easy on Mom and Baby. Out of everything that happened I most remember the look on Kaylee's face when she saw her sister for the first time...it is the look I still see on Kaylee's face each morning when Campbell wakes up and enters the room.
Here are a few things that I want to remember about Campbell.

* She has the loudest cry, it is very distinct. She does not cry very often but when she does the whole world knows it. When we were in the hospital after she was born we heard this poor baby crying down the hall. Cary and I both looked at each other and commented about how we felt sorry for those parents. Soon the door opened and the screaming baby heard all over the maternity ward was ours. We still chuckle about that one.
* She loves attention.
* She still only has four teeth which she did not get till she was 9 months old.
* She has the best laugh, she can laugh so hard...especially at her sister. No one can make her laugh like Kaylee.
* I love the way she clings to me, lays her head on my chest, smiles real big, and looks at people out of the corners of her eyes when she thinks they are going to take her from me. It's her I am so cute but do not touch me look.
* She has no interest what-so-ever in walking.
* She never would hold a bottle by herself but will hold a sippy cup.
* The way she smiles so big her eyes disappear and all you see is teeth. It can truly light up a room.
* Her love for her sister is amazing to watch.
* She loves to be held.
* She loves to take naps in the morning and afternoon.
* She can clap, play peek-a-boo, say "Mama" and "DADA", and wave bye-bye.
* She gets her feelings hurt very easily.
* She loves her lovie and paci to sleep with.
* She loves baby dolls. She will drag them behind her as she crawls then stops and picks the doll up to give it "love".
* She prefers "people food" over baby food and will let you know about it.
* She hates to be left alone...she will crawl behind you crying the whole way. Often she is so upset that she does not watch were she is going and hits her head.
* She crawls very quickly.
* She loves to eat grapes and bananas.
* She hates to ride in the car for more than an hour and rarely falls asleep in the car.
* She crawls as quickly as she can at night when Daddy comes home to get to him. Afterwards she sits with her hands up until Daddy picks her up.
* She loves to go swimming. The water is one of her favorite places to be...especially when she can splash someone.
* She wears a size 18-24 month in clothes.
* She already follows Kaylee into her room and thinks she can play too.
* She adores her sister.
* We cannot believe this little angel has been with us for a year already. She has brought so much love and happiness to each of us.

I find myself wondering where the time has gone. Campbell's birthday really snuck up on me. I am really looking forward to seeing what the next year brings. We love you Campbell Grace!! HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY!!
