Where Have We Been Hiding?!?!?!?

The Weer family would like to apologize for the extreme lack of blogging during the final weeks of September. While Dad has been busy hiding out all over the Pacific Northwest fighting fires, and mom has smothered by teaching, running the household and pregnancy, our little Princess has been doing the most hiding of all!
At nearly 19 months, she has apparently mastered the game of Hide-and-go-Seek and has been driving her Momma crazy disappearing into the most random of places! Thus far, we have been fortunate and our escapades have not taken us anywhere too dangerous.......mostly inside cabinets, laundry baskets, closets, and of course our play kitchen stove! However, for Mom's sanity and Camdyn's safety, please keep your fingers crossed that our Houdini antics don't go much farther!

Good to the Last Drop

With temperatures already dipping below freezing at night, the Weer family is well aware that the LONG, cold Wallowa County winter is merely weeks away. Summer has definitely been our saving grace in terms of battling temper tantrums and toddler boredom, leaving both Mom and Dad more than a bit fearful of the upcoming cabin fever......however, we are squeezing every last drop of sunshine out of September and have been spoiled by another week of above average temperatures. From swimming in the lake with Dad and Barley, to watching the annual Mule Days parade (yes, those are insanely large Oxen nearly hitting our mailbox) we are definitely making the most of our limited time!

18 Month Snap Shot

The other night, Jeff and I were fondly discussing ways we used to spend our time during the "Life before Camdyn" era of our relationship. While it is fun to reminise about more carefree days, we both agree that we can't imagine life without our little monkey.....much less believe, she has already been around for an entire year and a half! Here is a little insight into our the life and times of our growing girl.

At 18 months Miss Camdyn is.........

*Weighing in at 19 pounds, 1 ounce landing her a good 1/2 inch off the bottom of the growth chart. However, rather than being told she was skinny, she was described as extremely "muscular" by her doctor.....not a surprise considering her freakish strength.

*Still holding a bit above average at in height at 31.5 inches. No clue where these genes are coming from!

*A lover of dogs, monkeys, trucks, sand boxes, climbing, cookies, frozen blue berries, balls, her swimsuit, saying "uh-oh," her friend Jonah and big cousin Ashley, anything she can bounce on, Curious George, Mom's ever growing belly and her blue wagon.

*Not so fond of wearing clothes, giving up her pacifier, listening to mom and dad, being told "no," and having to wait for anything.

*Able to climb up, in and out of just about everything, open all drawers, cabinets and containers, go down big slides all by herself sitting up, laying down and unfortunately face first, name 10 body parts and is starting to understand when things are funny, silly or sad.

*Building her vocabulary by the day. Today's word obsessions included no, ball, eyes and as always, uh-oh.

**Continues to be the joy of her mom and dad's life!!!!

Who's That Kid with the Oreo Cookie!?!?!?

The other night we decided to break mommy's strict sweet rules and put that old jingle to the test! Camdyn was a true pro and immediately pulled her Oreo apart, licked out all the icing, let out a resounding "mmmmmmmmmm" and promptly disposed of the actual cookie! She loved our little taste test, not to mention the bonding with her daddy!

Is it too Early for Match.com?!?!?!

18-month old female, seeking blond, handsome male under 2 yrs old. Must enjoy climbing dirt piles, making truck noises, building block towers, yellow labs, eating cookies and posing for ridiculous hand-holding and rock-sitting photos during romantic hikes to waterfalls.....with mothers chaperoning of course!

Looks like our friend Jonah definitely fits the bill!

Does Evil Knievel Have Scars........

and if so, did he earn them at 18 months?!?!

Well, after countless goose eggs, thousands of bruises, and dozens of bloody lips, Miss Camdyn's climbing antics finally led to a quick ER visit for our first round of stitches! Don't be overly concerned, one large internal stitch sealed the deal (or rock shaped laceration)...and three days later, band aid free, we were nothing but smiles and a small forehead battle scar......apparently mom is the only one still reeling from the experience not to mention, the large amount of blood produced by head wounds!
