Let the Good Times ROLL

My cheesy title actually has significance this time - Campbell rolled over this weekend all by herself! Campbell was on her tummy in her gym, which is NOT her favorite thing (the tummy part that is). She was getting more and more aggravated with me for not flipping her over. She just all of a sudden decided to take matters into her own hands and flipped herself onto her back! The coolest part was that Travis and I just both happened to there watching her, so we both saw it and screamed with delight together. I'm so glad she did it on a weekend so we could both see it! She hasn't done it since then, but has been really close for a while. I'm sure she'll be quite the roly poly in no time! What a milestone! I didn't capture the infamous roll on film, but these show just how strong she's getting. She's really holding her head up well now and exploring the world around her!

In these pictures, can you tell how fair her coloring is? We've had more than one person comment - people will say, where did she get the blonde hair? Or red hair? It's definitely not blonde, she's just got light eyebrows. Her hair is somewhat of a mullet right now because she's got little tufts on the back - and that hair is pretty dark. But it all definitely has a beautiful auburn tint to it. She still has those blue eyes which we are watching everyday to see if we think they'll stay that way or not. For now, she looks like a little Irish baby!! We had a stranger come up to us at a restaurant this weekend and say, "oh my gosh, how beautiful! What a HEALTHY baby you have!" I think that's the polite way to comment on how chunky she is. We love it!

Because she's getting so strong and so curious, we decided to splurge on an early Easter present! The Easter Bunny must have been hopping through town this weekend to map out his route for next weekend...because he brought Campbell an ExerSaucer!!! She's not quite ready to "play" with it yet. She's steady enough to sit up in it without her head bobbing around. She of course doesn't know how to spin, and it's quite a bit of work for her to hold her body upright. But...she seemed totally mesmerized by all the colors. We think the Easter Bunny did a great job - this is definitely going to continue to be fun for her as she grows!

On another note, Campbell and I are very proud of Travis. On Saturday he did the first of five triathlons he will be competing in this spring and summer. Yes, five triathlons. My husband is crazy. :) He has really been working hard and he looks great. He finished the triathlon on Saturday and did very well. Of course he's hard on himself just because in his mind, there's always room for improvement. I just think it's amazing that anyone could swim, then bike, then run! I'm not sure where the energy comes from! We are extremely proud of his accomplishments and can't wait for the in-town triathlons so we can go cheer him on at the finish line. We weren't able to go on Saturday because it was out of town, Daddy's start time conflicted with Campbell's breakfast time, and it was too cold. But we will definitely be there this summer!!

Sunday we played hookie from church and did all sorts of random odd jobs around the house. It was close to 80 degrees here yesterday so we took Lexi and Campbell on a super long walk. We had a nice, relaxing family day and got a lot of things done that have been on my to-do list for months. One of which was FINALLY hanging the monogram letters above Campbell's crib! Her room finally looks complete and I'm so pleased with how these letters turned out.

And last but not least, I tried to stage a photo shoot with Lexi and Campbell. I would've gotten Harley in the mix too...but considering she is not fond of the dog or the baby, I let her finish her nap instead. Both Lexi and Campbell did great...until Campbell turned her head and spit up all over Lexi's tail. HAHAHA So disgusting. Lexi didn't even notice, although I'm sure she figured it out at some point. These two are definitely going to be bff's someday!
