Gubler San Diego Trip

Shortly after coming home from our trip to San Diego with Mitch's family in June, we found out that my whole family wanted to take a trip to San Diego this summer too! So we went out AGAIN in August! It was a LOT hotter and way more humid than the first time we went, but we all still managed to have lots of fun :) We spent the first day at the Safari Park, the second day at Sea World, and the third day at Old Town and the beach. We are all excited to go back again another year, but think we want to get a beach house and just hang out instead of running around between parks all day!

Waiting in line for the tram at the Safari Park

See my tongue?

This is what happens when you travel with lots of babies! Can you tell that Curtis is happy about it?

She got a little restless!

Two of my nephews, Dillon and Ty

Cami loves her grandma!

Most of the group.... did I mention that there were 23 of us?!

Look at those red cheeks! It was super hot!

Giraffes

Cheetah

I don't remember what this cat was called, but it did crazy backflips!

Oh, just some monkeys :)

My parents and all the grandkids

Camryn LOVES her cousin Brooklyn!

Brooky came over and entertained Camryn in the hotel one evening :) It's still rare when she REALLY laughs out loud!

11 Months

I can't believe my baby is 11 months already! She is so much fun, but quite a handful! We love her so much and don't know what we did without her. Here is what Camryn is up to at 11 months:

- She pulls herself up on everything and walks around holding on to stuff. She will let go and stand on her own, but she hasn't tried to take steps alone yet.

- She is into EVERYTHING! She is pretty bored with her baby toys, so she crawls around and explores the apartment all day. It's lovely.

- She sleeps about 12 hours at night and has one 4 hour nap in the afternoon

- She loves to dance! She can't hear music and not start moving :)

- She is obsessed with Baby Einstein movies..... she wants to watch about 10 a day

- She finally likes to eat and holds her own bottles

- She gives kisses and loves to blow kisses

- She talks a lot of giberish. She used to just make a few sounds all the time, but now she just babbles and babbles like she's telling you something

- She loves to look at books.... especially real ones instead of her baby ones :)

- She loves to be a copy cat. She'll try to say things we say or mimic whatever we do

- She knows where eyes are. She points to her eyes, pokes my eyes, and blinks slowly. Sometimes, when you're talking to her, she randomly slowly blinks at you and rolls her eyes. It's pretty funny :)

- She likes to wave at everyone and everything when she first wakes up. When I come to get her in the morning or after a nap, she immediately waves at me and then at everything around her.

- She loves to lean back on things and relax. She stands or sits with her back to the couch a lot so she can lean back and play with toys. When she sits on our laps, she has to be leaning back against us.

- She cannot hold still! She is a total wiggle worm, so we spend most of church out in the halls :)

10-11 Month Pictures

Here are some pictures of what Camryn was up to between 10 & 11 months...

Apparently she likes to hang out in ANY open carseat :)

Relaxing in the pool :)

Swimming with her cousins Kylee & Brooklyn

She loved riding in this little car at the furniture store. She turned the steering wheel the whole time!

Having fun on the front porch of the cabin in Pinto

Here is a video of Camryn rocking in a little chair :) She's a little crazy sometimes

What a little nerd!

Relaxing with a good book :)

She loved crawling around on the blow-up mattress when we had visitors.

Silly girl!

It took forever, but she finally likes & holds her bottles

One morning, we found Camryn sleeping like this...... her pants are down by her ankles haha

Singing & Laughing

If you know Camryn, you know that she pretty much never actually laughs. She'll smile at you, but it's hard to get a sound with it. One night, Mitch was reading Cinderella to Camryn and she thought it was hilarious when he said "Poof". It's pretty stinkin cute to hear her laugh!

Camryn has recently started "singing". Sometimes it's really soft and pretty and other times (like in the this video) she's basically just yelling. It's pretty funny. She has also recently discovered eyes and likes to poke my eyes & blink slowly at me :) Also, just ignore my singing as I'm trying to get her to sing. And yes, Camryn is a turd and tries to hit me!

9-10 Month Pictures

Here are some 9-10 month pictures of Camryn and some things she was up to :)

She LOVES to sit in her old carseat.... she could play in there for hours!

Being silly with her shirt on her head :)

In her carseat.... again

Camryn's first ponytail!!

She loved to sit and watch my brother's puppies! They would all line up and stand on the side of the pool to see her :)

Hafen San Diego Trip- Part 3

On Monday, we spent the day having tons of fun at Sea World. On Tuesday, we packed up, went into a few cool little stores in Del Mar, ate lunch, and then headed home. The trip was so much fun and we hope that we can do it again another year :)
