Little miss copycat

Copying Papa.

We've had an action-packed couple of weeks. First my kid sister Jami and her husband Andy came to visit. We had a great time with them, but didn't take many pictures, since they were only here a couple of days and did a lot of sightseeing. I bet Jami might post some of her pics on her blog (here). After they left, Camille caught a little virus that kept us apartment bound for a few days. Man, having a sick baby is no fun! Now that she's on the mend, we're so happy to be back in action. Lately her life's work is to copy whatever Rémi and I do. She's getting better and better at this. She imitates our speaking by blabbing, our hand gestures by waving her hands, and if I make a raspberry or some other funny noise with my mouth, she does it too. It seems every day she becomes a better mimic. She is also freestanding, if only for seconds at a time. As soon as she realizes she's standing unsupported she sits down or reaches for a hand hold, but she's getting more confident. It's wild to see her change so much every day.

See for yourself!

She was really into Aunt Jami's necklace.

This is what Camille does when I go into the kitchen. She tries to climb over her gate using any prop available (pillow).


Fun with Sophie la giraffe.


Pointing.

We took the girl on her first subway ride down to the Brooklyn Bridge. It was windy and cool, but a fun time nonetheless.

World's cutest sick baby.
In our house, when you have a fever you're allowed to have your passy all day.
