Sorry I haven’t put anything up in so long. We just haven’t been taking that many pictures. When we are with Campbell we just don’t really think to go get the camera. I’ll try to do so more often, so that we can keep track of how much she is changing. Her vocabulary is expanding rapidly. She knows several animal noises (moo, woof, meow and eek eek), a handful of body parts (nose, ear, eye, hair, teeth, etc.). Also, she has favorite things she likes to watch like the Muppets (which Campbell calls Boppies), Fraggle’s and anything with cats or dogs in it. And when she wants to watching something she let’s us know. She either tells us or gets the DVD out and bangs it against the TV screen until we play it for her. She will repeat pretty much any word we ask her to say, or at least tries to. I introduced her to oranges the other day, she calls it an “Osh”. The only word she won’t repeat is “Campbell”, but I think she is just messing with us. I think she knows that it is something we really want her to say, so she is refusing to say it. She just smiles at us. Tara and I are doing well. Tara has been busy with MOPS, church activities and hanging out with the other mothers in the neighborhood. I have been busy with work and trying to relive the glory days playing softball. Nothing makes you feel older than stretching before a church softball game and then limping the next day. We have been spending a lot of time with some new hobbies. We have been watching the ABC show Lost online. So far we are almost done with Season 2, but we still have a ways to go to get caught up. Also we have been playing Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Two supremely awesome video games. I had a Rock Band night with some co-workers last Friday. We were totally cool. Ok well on with the pictures.
