Neil was worried that his daughter would not recognize him because he works so much. Every time she cried when being held by him he would get discouraged and think that she hated him, or thought she saw him as a stranger. I always told him he was crazy, but now I have proof!
When he gets home from work and I'm still up we always talk. When he starts talking she'll go from fast asleep to wide awake in the blink of an eye, and her head will snap right to him wherever he is. Then she smiles at him, and sometimes falls right back to sleep. When she doesn't fall back to sleep right away she'll usually reach for him and snuggle for a minute before starting to fuss and rub her eyes again, but usually she'll look at him with sleepy eyes and try to fight sleep for a minute before passing out again.
I love my baby girl, and she loves her Daddy. <3

I finally have the internet back!
It's been over 2 months since I've posted, so I have a tonage of stuff to update on. Please forgive me if this turns into a very lengthy post.
First bit of major news- We have re-located back to Bowdoinham. Neil had a vacation and it was WONDERFUL. I was frustrated all week because we were stripping wallpaper and painting until thursday night and I had to keep Camille away from the paint fumes, so I didn't really see Neil as much as I wanted to but in retrospect.. it was still a LOT more than I see him during a normal work week.
Now for the juicy baby details... sheis freaking huge! A little over 14lbs and 25.5 inches. Yikes! She's fitting into 6 mos and 6-9 mos clothes, and is sprouting her first tooth! She's been coughing from all the access drool all day and you can just start to see it poking through her gums.. when she lets you look anyway. Also, last week she just started sitting up by herself!
We have tried solid food a few times, but she isn't eating them on a regular basis just yet. Another 2.5 more weeks and we will celebrate her half birthday with the formal intro of solids into her every day diet. I can already tell you that she will be like her mommy and LOVE carrots.
She found her feet around 4 months, loves to play with her daddy's whiskers, and adores anything the color red or things that make noise, sing songs, and light up. She loves sing alongs, and recently started being more interested in chewing on the pages of her books than letting me read them to her.
So... much.. drool.. might.. drown... **glub glub glub** No but really.. everyone kept telling me that bibs would be my best friend.. and I kept thinking.. Why? I understood that I would need them when it came time to feed solids, but I honestly didn't understand why everyone who got me anything for me also bought me 5 bibs. Well- I understand now. I get it. Bibs save me from needing to change Camille's drool soaked clothes 6x a day... and when I was only able to do laundry once a week.. that was kind of a big deal. A big thanks to everyone who contributed to my huge bib collection.
We had some portraits taken when she was around 3 months old.Walmart has yet to give us a disc that works properly, but I promise to share the photos once they come in.
The day that we had the photos done my mother brought us an exersaucer and it it Camille's favorite toy! She is enamoured with this little plastic apple on a flexible rod. It has one of those crinkly paper leaves on top and she's constantly bending it down and chewing on it. She is also fond of a little blue remote control thing that plays a few songs, and some little musical notes that are attached to it.
I really cannot believe how quickly the time is going by. My little baby is getting SO big.
One final note for this post... baby toys that sing songs and make animal noises will sound like they are demon possessed when the batteries are dying. If you aren't able to replace them right away and they continue to keep losing juice they will start to sound like they are making farting noises. It's hilarious.
