Camilla's Blessing

We decided to bless Camilla while my parents were here, because we were unsure if they would be able to make it back if we did it at a later date. We had only Mike's family and my family (that could make it) there. Our Bishop opened the Relief Society room for us to do the blessing. It was so spiritual and it is so amazing how special this little girl is already. It was a fast evening, but we are grateful for those who were able to make it and and be a part of this special night. Thanks mom for the beautiful blessing dress!!!

Brody and Camilla

I have had a lot people ask how Brody is with his little sister. He really does love her. He gets so excited when he sees her. He'll start saying "Milla" and run up to her and rub her head. It is really cute. He loves it when she kisses him. He just laughs and screams with joy and wants her to do it again. There is only one time that he really gets frustrated with her. It happens to be when he is watching one of his morning shows and she begins to cry and he can't hear his show. He will look at her and give his death look then find the remote control and hand it to me and look at me like I know what I should do. I really have to just laugh...


Here he is rubbing her head. And she loves it...


He even gave her his beloved dog and wanted him to kiss her too.

Sorry about the pictures, they are from my cell phone. Not the best of pictures.

She is here!!!

Camilla Harrison
(sorry I could not get the picture turned the correct way.)
Born: Feb. 19th 7:56 am
Weight: 6lbs 15oz
Height: 19 1/2in
Camilla is a finally here and we are so grateful. She is an added blessing to our little family. I do have to say she is just simply adorable, especially when she is sleeping. She loves to use her lungs and lets us know when she is unhappy. That is most of the time her eyes are open. For the first few nights she was up ALL night letting us know she wanted to go back, this was great fun. And Mike is buying stock in ear plugs. I forgot how fun it was to be able to stay up all night. I remember those days not so long ago when I was a night owl... Now I really like my sleep. I can say she is doing much better and only wakes up every 4 hours to eat, this I am so happy for. I can't wait 'til she sleeps all night.
We have started calling her our little DIVA!!!!!
Brody loves his little sister. He is most happy when he can burp her. I'm not sure this is because it is the only time I will allow him to hit her. But he will move my hand out of the way so he can burp her. He really loves to rub her head and point to her nose. He tries to copy everything we do. If we bounce her a little in the bouncy seat he will try, but this usually ends up in her looking like she is going fly out of her seat. She is going to be a tough little girl.
