9 meses

The time spent getting to know Cami on the inside now equal the time on the outside- so does that mean that really she is 18 months old? Why not? There are times when I think she is much, much older. She very much enjoyed her valentine cookie. I thought maybe she would just nibble and mess in it. My attention was diverted for but a moment, when to look back and find only a few measely crumbs and an expectant hungry look on her face. She melts me.

In these few months she has accomplished many wonderful thingsand I want to congratulate her as well as tell her cousins far away a little about her.
