Going Bananas!

Thank God above, Campbell has found another food that she likes, BANANAS. Now we have somewhat worked into this I will admit. I have tried feeding her bananas for sometime now. We have mashed, cut, given big chunks, but nothing has worked.

Then one day as I was eating a banana Campbell started to pointing at the banana, so I gave her a bite. So the trick i have found is to give her the whole banana in the peel and she will eat the whole thing, amazing!!

So her she is in all her banananis, taking big bites and watching cartoons. Too Cute!

Oh Raspberry!!!

I must say that I am quite proud of Campbell she has really broken out of her shell lately and started to get allot more adventurous with her food. She loves popcorn chicken and tonight I actually got her to eat some noodles, I know, were making some major progress. So she got very crazy the other day and tried a raspberry. She played with it and looked at it and then she put it in her mouth and...

She made this face. Now, the reason that I am very proud of her is that she immediately spit it out, looked at it, and then put it in her mouth again and again. I know I know I am getting excited just thinking about it. If you all only knew my battle with this child and food you would feel my excitement to.

Our Weekend

We've been very busy lately at the Melton household, here are some pics from the weekend. Campbell LOVES the pottery barn chair that Bailey got for Christmas last year. She sits in it, she bounces in it, she will even sit and watch cartoons in it. So it is one more thing that has been added to my living room along with all the other toys, furniture, and giant Christmas tree, yeah!

Knock on wood, but Campbell has honestly had nothing to do with our Christmas trees. She was however fascinated with the lights the other day. She would hold them in her hand and just look at them, very cute, but then she was on her way and has had nothing to do with them since.

She does however enjoy playing in drawers. She discovered some gift bags the other day and looked like she was ready to go shopping. She would take the bag and fling it over her should and scoot off with her pirate crawl. As you can see in the picture her right leg is extended out and her left leg is doing a regular crawl and there is a blue bag thrown over her shoulder, this girls a hoot.

On Sunday evening Bailey sang in a Christmas choir performance at church, along with her other activities she has now joined the kids choir at church, she loves to stay busy. This was the best shot I got of her all night. She was walking past us to go onto stage. She is wearing a white choir gown, my little angel.

O Christmas Tree

Well we finally got all our Christmas decor up, it took about 4 days because I had 2 children that felt the need to go thru everything I had so I finally said enough is enough and if it ain't up it ain't going up this year. But everything turned out great and here is a look at our main tree, yes we have two. We have a tree in our front window which is the fun tree for the kids, its where I put all the sentimental ornaments and kids themed things. I will do another post soon with that tree on it. Our main tree is our fancy tree with all the fancy ornaments and such. Above is Mister Melton hanging some extra lights on our pre-lit tree, ha.

So here is the tree in its naked form, I then go in and add things such as ribbon, faux flowers, and the secret touch is floral pix's. You know at Hobby Lobby how they have that isle with all those different pix's, well these work great in your tree they will really help fill in gaps and make your tree look very full and lush. I have allot of large woody evergreen pixs that I put in along with frosted fruits and berries.

Here is a close up of all the stuff that I have filled in, after all of this I add any ornaments that I want.

And here is the final product. I have so much ribbon and pixs that my tree never looks the same but to me that's part of the fun. I have not put much at the bottom of the tree this year, but surprisingly Campbell has not touched any of the tress at all. She hasn't tried to pull ornaments off which really amazes me. Well I will show you the rest of the house soon, see ya all.

14 Months Old

On November 28, 2010 Campbell turned 14 months old. She is growing into such a beautiful little lady. She has a very sweet demeanor about her and she is a very happy girl. She is very picky when it comes to food. She does not like the texture of fruits and veggies but she loves her carbs. She has taken a liking to sausage which is very surprising, but at this point whatever I can get her to eat will work.
She is saying many words such as mama, dada, sissy, and her latest are uh oh and ouch, its the cutest thing ever. She has quite the personality and she loves to laugh and clap. She loves to go into her sisters room and tear it apart. One of her favorite things is Bailey's pottery barn chair, she loves to sit in it and bounce around and play.

She has been a big help decorating the tree this year. She loves pulling out all the ornaments and putting them in her mouth. She has taken a few steps but 98% of her traveling is done with her pirate crawl, but this mommies not pushing anything, I'll keep her a baby as long as I can.

Sickness

Since I am playing catch up with the last few weeks her are just a few more fun events we had, its called PINK EYE. Oh and it is so fun to put eye drops into a 5 year olds eyes 3 times a day. Last week Bailey was home with a terrible cough on Wednesday so we were put on breathing treatments, and then on Thursday evening she started an awful case of pink eye in both eyes. Thank goodness no one else has gotten it but everyone has had some kind of cough. I am hoping we clear up soon so we can enjoy all the fun activities the next month will bring.

Campbell's Favorite Thing's

Just like Oprah, Campbell has a few of her favorite things that she would like to share. First of all she loves Q-Tips. Yes you heard me right Q-Tips. She loves to pull them out of our bathroom drawer, throw them on the floor, and then proceed to pull the cotton part of by chewing on them. This actually keeps her quite entertained when I am trying to get ready, ha.

She is starting to love the camera and always gives me some kind of facial expression when I say cheese, to cute.

Love this picture!

And finally mommies favorite thing of Campbell's favorite things, I think that makes sense. Anywho, Campbell enjoys not only brushing her teeth as in the picture, but she also likes to pull all the toilet paper off the roll as also seen in the picture. Mommy has gotten quite good at rolling them back up. I guess she'll be a pro at the toilet paper when we start potty training.
