Adventures in Avocados.

All Desoto wants for Christmas is to be Santa's 10th reindeer. And treats... lot of treats.

 

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE EVE!

It's soooo close. I'm excited. Can you tell? I'm like a kid. Heehee.

There are piles upon piles of photos to share; I really have to sit down and sort through them... but I can't do that now, it's nearly 3 A.M. and I do have to get some sort of sleep, right? Hehe. However, I do have some hilarious pictures of Miss Camcam having her first real bowl of super mushy avocados! Since she drools over our food, I thought it was time to really make the (semi) leap to soft foods. This week is avocados!

Cleaning herself off? Hehe!


 

I love this little lady of ours! She's such a sweet pea. We still get lots of people cooing over her when we take her out and about with us (especially in her Christmas outfits and headbands), and she's just such a happy baby. She loves playing peek-a-boo games with me, like if she's crawling around a few feet away I'll hide behind the couch, or wall, and pop out and she'll giggle and laugh a ton, then crawl quickly towards me until I pop out again. So cute! Tonight she really followed me around quite a bit, and it's so adorable. I don't let her in the kitchen though, and the doors to the other rooms except her bedroom are always closed, but once awhile when Josh is in his office reading the news or playing a video game, the door will be open and she'll crawl in and make an appearance for daddy!

Have I said how excited I am for Christmas? :) Lol. I really am. I want to make Camilla's first Christmas perfect.. or at least nearly. I guess we are doing a turkey! Which is fine by me, gotta love that turkey. I think tomorrow I may go out and get some last minute items, even though there is literally no room for anymore under the tree (lol) but I need to get more tape, and that'll be my excuse... diabolical, isn't it? I'm just so happy and feel so lucky to have what I have, especially Camilla. She is the sun to my world.

I hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas Eve Eve and a warm and wonderful Christmas Eve and (if  I don't write here by the blessed Christmas day) MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!! I'll end this with some more pictures, even though I should be off to bed.... when in Rome, right? :D Here are some of my favorite pics of very recent days.



Presents!! Eeeeeep!                                                When mommy makes funny noises, I laugh.

Cookies!

Uh oh, naked baby!                                       Coffee Shop! :)       

Doooooooofus doggy! :) He's a good boy.

Bye guys! Have a Merry Christmas Eve Eve/Eve/Christmas! - Sincerely, Desoto DeDoberman, WOOF!

Oh boy, it's 3:21 A.M.... gotta go! Lotsa love. <3

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's finally December. Can't believe the first week is almost over. Why is time going by so fast?! I felt like after Thanksgiving, the last few days of November were dragging by so slow, and now that it's my favorite time of the year... of course it's going by fast! Sheesh. I have SOOO much left to do, but I'm on here typing away because I have lots of fun pictures to show, unfortunately I don't think I'll have time to post them ALL.

But you all should be getting the gist of what's going on in our neck of the woods. :)

Oh wait, I haven't made the official announcement. CAMILLA IS CRAWLING. She looks so silly and cute when she does it, but I cried. A lot. When she crawled over  to me the night she was *literally* crawling. She crawled over to me instead of over to her toys or the crinkly packing paper she had a keen interest on. I even have a video. YAY. I love my little lady so much!

Ahem..

Our HUGE tree. Like 9 or 10 feet. I want to say 10, because it's damn huge. Even on a stool, I can't reach to decorate the top. Damn being 5' nothin'.

But isn't the tree so beautiful? I could smell it ALL day long... and I do.

My beautiful Cam girl touching her first REAL tree. :) Actually, probably the first tree she's touched period.

I LOVE THAT SMILEY FACE!!! :)

WE GOT A CHOO CHOO TRAIN! We're all aboard for the perfect Christmas. Choo choooo!

I LOVE this tree. Best we've ever had.

Still a mess to put away, but we haven't finished decorating just yet.

Oh, she crawled to the candy canes and opened the box.

Ha!

Candy cane mustache? Unfortunately for Camilla, mommy took those away after these photos. Lol.

Too big of a hat = super cute baby.

Lol look at that face.

Even Mr. Grandfather clock is dressed up with a great big Holiday bow and brrrrrr, he's got snowflakes!

I can't wait until Christmas morning.

 

We have so so so many more pictures. Of everything. Especially the tree. And I can't help myself, but I've been getting Camilla a lot of presents lol. I know it's probably silly, since she won't remember this Christmas, but it IS our first with Camilla, so why not?! :) And if they are things she can use or need, all the better. I got her a few more toys, several pairs of leggings, that owl I made, etc etc! Lol. I guess I just go all out! Good thing I've got my business money! Phew! To family or friends thinking of getting her present, if you need ideas: she LOVES light up toys/musical toys. <3 I can't wait for Santa either... something tells me he's got a big big gift in mind for her...

 

Hurry up Santa! I've waited all year for you! :)

 

More pics and a real blog later, it's already 3, whoa!

 

 

Camilla, you are trouble!

Camilla is chock full of trouble!

Look what she learned to do. Yep. Tear down her playmat.

Look at that innocent look after her destruction. Lol.

Awww, so smiley. What trouble will you get into next?

You can't have those presents yet, Cam! You have to wait for Christmas!

Seriously, she can't leave the fireplace full of presents and decorations alone!

Something tells me anymore presents will have to be tucked away... where no babies can find.

 

She managed to knock this one down, and she tries to open it lol.

She did manage to get that bow off of Josh's present hahaha! :)

There's her owl all stuffed lol. Shhh... ignore the fraying and general weirdness. Lol.
