All Camryn

I usually try to be judicious when choosing photos to upload to a post, but not today.  Today I am just throwing all of Camryn out there!  I love every one of these pictures and how they show her in so many different ways, although they don't come close to capturing all the faces and personality traits of this little wonder.  What would I do without this girl?  She is such a highlight of every day.  I can't wait to see her in the morning and she makes me laugh all day long!  I love when my kids turn 1.  It was only a couple of months ago that I felt her wriggle to get out of my arms for the first time--before that she was content to sit in my arms all day long!  Now she constantly wants to get down and go.  She loves going outside.  She walks around the yard, plays in the mud, climbs up the bottom of the slide, shakes the chain link fence, and she does it all in the cutest stances!  She usually gets her little arms up at her sides-palms facing forward- and charges ahead at full speed, looking like she's going to face plant at any moment!  I'm obsessed with her.  She's so serious most of the time, but then has these hilarious outbursts.  I feel like we have so many inside jokes and many more to come.  All I have to do is give her a certain look and she'll turn and start running.  Her latest feat is climbing.  She climbs onto tables, chairs, benches, couches, beds, anything she can manage.  But the funny thing is, she usually can't get down.  She can from a bed or a couch, but if it's a chair, no matter how close to the ground it is, she won't try to climb down herself.  She sits there patiently and whines every few seconds.  I often can't tell she needs something until I go check on her and realize she's been stuck on a chair for several minutes.  She's still very shy with strangers, but getting more independent every day and is getting more comfortable with others.  She loves our neighbor girls, Charlotte, Lizzy and Emily, and loves Michael and Madison.  They are so close.  Today Michael and Madison were playing a racing game and as they turned the corner at full speed, I saw Camryn only a few steps behind, screaming and running after them.  She loves having a big brother and sister and follows them around whenever she's not getting into her own mischief.  Their favorite recent hangout is Madison's bed, which Camryn can climb onto.
I love this girl and can't wait to see her personality blossom!
