Ranch Lainhart ~ Home of the Wild!: The Mouse Trap and Cami

Well, to day Cami just had to do what she wanted and NOT what we told her. We have been getting some mice in our garden, so Kyle set a few trap with peanut butter. Of course being the wise parents we are...we told the kids not to touch it or else it will snap their fingers. Late this afternoon Cami came in the house crying and attached to her pointer finger was a mouse trap. Thank goodness it did not break her finger. (I wanted to take a picture, but thought it would be neglectful to make her wait for me to take a picture before removing it. LOL...it would have made a great picture though) This would make a great Conference talk analogy......Heed the counsel of your parents or you'll end up with a mouse trap on your finger. Kyle has been making random phone calls today to get phone numbers from family members. He fell in the river last week while fishing and drenched his cell phone. He was so pissed when he got home (soaking wet) that he came in barely said anything to me and told me he was taking a nap. Huh...Kyle never takes naps so I knew to leave him alone. We watched little Logan tonight....Jessica and I swap babysitting time with each other. He is so stinkin cute and chubby.

OK, so here is a little catch up on Cami. Cami Kristine Lainhart was born September 11, 2008 at Valley Hospital, Las Vegas and delivered by Dr. Benson (this is the 2nd baby I have had where my Dr. Wang was NOT oncall). I had false labor a few days before on Labor Day while Kyle was out of town. So, when I started having contractions at Mc Donalds the 10th I wasn't getting too excited until I knew for SURE that I needed to go to the Hospital. Well, 3AM came around and my contractions were 10-15 minutes apart and I could not sleep, so I woke Kyle up and said "Lets go". Suzanne was living with us at the time so she watched the kids and we arrived at the hospital at 3:30 AM and I was dilated to a 6 already. WhooHoo! She was born 3 hours later (with very mild contractions) and she was out in 2 pushes. My babies were getting bigger in weight with each one born and Blake was 7lbs 13 Oz.....so I was thinking she would be 8lbs, then the nurse shouted 6lbs 13Oz. "What, she's smaller?" That has been the story of her life.....Petite is the perfect word for Cami. Because Cami came so quickly, the antibiotics were not in my system long enough for her to be out of danger (I am strep B +). So she had to be babysat in the NICU for 2 days. It was lame, but I got a little relax time in the hospital and went to visit her every 2-4 hours for feedings. Cami had a bow in her hair within the first few days of her life. The boys were so thrilled to have a little sister. Cami has always had fun faces as a baby and the famous scrunchy nose. She has had the least hair of my babies...go figure, the one who needs it the most. So her hair style has developed from nothing to one tiny ponytail on top to two ponytails on top. I did bands and bows her first year, but now she won't do bands, but will do 2 bows. She was pulling herself up and standing at 6 months and walking at 10 months. At her 1 year check up she was under 0 percentile for weight. She is normal height, but just a light weight. Cami had a Turkey cake for her first birthday and we call her a little pumpkin.....or a turklette...the boys are turkey's. Yes, I am weird, but that's what I call them. Cami just turned two last month and is already using the little potty. WOW! Her favorite song as a baby was " I hope they call me on a mission". This is either a sign that she will be a spiritual young lady or that she is going to be boy crazy! Cami has fun little words like "mumkin=pumpkin" "orse=horse" "BawBaw=Bottle" and "Heeyo=Here you go". Cami is very helpful and she loves to unload the dishwasher. She is OBSESSED with horses right now. She got a horse poster that Kyle hung on the ceiling above her crib and she has to pet it before she gets in bed. LOL She likes to ride her stuffed house and say "YeeHaw".
