New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve was quite the evening for Campbell and quite different from even just last year's for her parents. She had 3 of her friends over to play and tried to make it up to midnight, while the parents tried to do the same as well! None of the kids quite made it, but they sure did have fun trying! The picture below is of Campbell & Ella.

Jaxson rolling all around.
Naked babies!!!
We finally distracted them long enough from their toys to get a few pictures.
Campbell & Ella reading to each other.
Ava is trying to get Jaxson to play with a pink bus, but his daddy didn't like that too much!

Big girl Ava! She is about 6 months older than Campbell. It's hard for us to imagine Campbell this big in 6 more months.

The BIG Day!!!

Beth looking lovely as she gets her hair done for the big day. (Sorry, Beth... I know you're going to kill me, but I couldn't resist!)

Quite the transformation! Beth was a very beautiful bride!
Beth & Chris' first dance... A real dance and not a Greek one!
Andy, Liv & Campbell at the reception. Campbell really seemed to enjoy herself, as did her mom & dad. Again, PawPaw & Mimi took her back to the hotel so we could stay and dance!

Aunt Beth's Wedding Rehearsal

We traveled to Dayton, OH, for Aunt Beth's wedding, in which Liv was the matron of honor. It was a wonderful weekend, and we all has so much fun. Here are some pictures of the wedding rehearsal. Campbell loved the party and her pretty dress.

Give her a few years, and she'll be a pretty little ballerina.
Campbell did very well keeping herself entertained. She did go back to the hotel with PawPaw & Mimi, so Andy & Liv could try some Greek dancing! (Beth's fiance is Greek.)

Christmas Morning

Although Campbell looks really excited to be opening presents in this picture, she really didn't have too much interest in them. She liked playing with the boxes and paper more than anything else. In fact, she got so bored during the middle of it all that she went down for her morning nap and left presents to be opened for later.

She also enjoyed chewing on them.
Campbell is attempting to open the gifts in her stocking, and Bailey is keeping a very close eye on her.
He thought she was taking to long, so he decided to help out.

Campbell got an IU plate, cup, & silverware to help her cheer on her Hoosiers!

Christmas on the Go

Sometimes Campbell crawls on all-fours. We not quite sure why she does this, she just does.
Bailey relaxing after a long day. He thinks they are all long days now that Campbell is around, especially with her on the move like she is.

Santa Clause Came to Town & Other Christmas Events

"I love Christmas!!!..."

"... until you make me sit on some weird man's lap who is wearing this silly red suit! He scares me!"
As you can tell, Campbell did not really care for Santa too much. The other cousins have gotten over their fears of the man in red, so it gives us hope that she will, too.

Even PawPaw was good this year!!!
Later that evening, we had the annual "Aunt Weaner's Family Fun Night" with the Gerig-side of Andy's family. Aunt Weno invited the family over for appetizers, Christmas Bingo (childlike wonder, childlike wonder, childlike wonder), and holiday frivolity. Below are some pictures of Campbell with her Cousin David & his wife Steffi. And although we didn't get a picture with Cousin Dan & Cousin Steve, she really liked them, too.

One of Campbell's latest things... pointing and saying "huh?"

A Favorite Sleeping Position

It doesn't look comfortable to us, either, but this is how Campbell likes to sleep. When we wake her up most mornings, her toes are wet... hence the position. She likes to suck on her toes while she sleeps. Silly, Baby Girl!

Greyhounds Really Are Nice

Here's the proof. Lonestar (in back) & Ghost (in Andy's lap) really are great dogs. They even tolerated Campbell.

Attack of the Greyhound!!!

Ok, the title sounds terrible, but it really does look like Campbell is about to be eaten by a big, mean greyhound. This picture was taken at her Uncle Mike & Aunt Geri's house in Lafayette, IN, when we celebrated Christmas. Her cousin Lonestar, the Greyhound, was just innocently relaxing on his pillow; and Campbell happened to be sitting there for the photo shoot. The official title of the picture as named by her aunt & uncle is "Campbell enjoying Christmas just before my big dog ate her."

Campbell's 1st Christmas Party of the Season

Campbell traveled to Lafayette on Saturday for the Warner family Christmas. It was her first time to celebrate Christmas. She had more interest in the packages before we were actually opened them than she did when it was her turn.

Of course, a girl must accessorize with a bow!

All that gift opening really wears a girl out!
