In Love with a Blondie

Taken by my sis!

Today, I am absolutely in love with my little blondie.  She has been so giggly and so much fun.  I love hearing her screech as I chase her around the house.  Her little belly laugh is priceless.  Lately she's started doing these high-pitched ALL girl laughs.  It is hilarious. Music to my ears.  She is such a little ball of energy.  Last night before bed, we got to snuggle a little on the couch.  She was really calm.  I loved the feeling of her tiny body nestled next to mine and her head resting on my arm.  I rubbed her back and tummy and she just melted into me.  It was the best.  She makes me laugh every day.  Lately, her hair has gotten really long.  Her little eyes are often seen peeking through some wispy bangs.  (I try to keep it pinned back). The back always looks like a little rats nest from sleeping or being in her carseat, or playing with blankets.  That's my little girl though. And that's the way I love her. 

Lately, she's discovered the garbage can and whenever she finds pieces of paper or garbage, she happily takes them and throws them in the garbage can.  Yesterday, she was being really quiet again, a little too quiet.  As I lay on the couch I heard the garbage can lid swish swish.  I got up to investigate.  Camilla quickly backed away, and looked up at me with a grin similar to the one above.  I tilt my head a little sideways and try to put on my best serious face as my mouth forms a tiny smirk.  "Camilla, what are you doing?" I ask.  I lifted the lid off to examine the garbage and found not one, not two, but SIX of her little toys in the garbage.  A bouncy ball, her dolly's hat, some shape toys, and a few of her little bath toys.  So, from now on, the garbage is examined very thoroughly a few times a day.  Yesterday, she also tried to catch the swirling water in the toilet after I flushed it.  (EW).  I grabbed her in the nick of time, and still washed her hands good. She's so adventurous.  It's fun to watch her learn and grow.  If I'm ever kneeling down or bent to try and pick something up, she'll rush towards me and squint her eyes a little and make these almost fake giggling/laughing noises as she "tackles" me or snuggles me.  She loves playing, especially if you're at her height.  She also loves patting people when they hug her and yesterday I even got a few good squeezes when I hugged her.  

I am absolutely in love with everything about my little blond beauty.
