The Big 4 Year Old!

I know I am a little late posting, but on November 2, Kamber turned 4. She was so excited about having a birthday. Now that they have finally figured out the whole birthday thing it has been really fun!!! We had a Tinker Bell theme, as the new Tinker Bell movie was out a few days before, which we had all been looking forward to for some time. She wanted a green cake with green frosting but I was able to convince her to have a chocolate cake with green frosting (I know, I am so bad!). I found an awesome recipe here: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Lisas-Chocolate-Chocolate-Chip-Cake/Detail.aspx. Mmmmmm, so moist and yummy! Here is my pretty little birthday princess:


Kamber was born around 1:00am on election day in 2004. It was the day Bush beat out Kerry. I remember that she didn't cry at all but just kept looking around with her then big blue eyes.

When Kira came to the hospital to see Kamber, the first thing she did was point at her and say "Baby!" This was one of her very first words and so, it stuck. She was nicknamed "Baby" until about a year ago when she started telling me she wasn't "Baby", she was "Kamber."

She was a great baby! She ate well and slept well (compared to Kira). She loved being on the go with Kira and me. She didn't get any teeth in until she was a year old, but still wanted to eat everything the Kira did. She figured out how to eat quesadillas, mac & cheese, crackers, just about anything without teeth. She would just keep it in her cheek for quite a while until it was mooshie enough to eat with her gums. Even when she was older she would keep food in her cheeks, sometimes for hours! She was a little chipmunk.


When she was really little, Kira and I started doing lots of puzzles. Kamber, not wanting to get left behind, started doing them too. She was awesome at them and could remember where every single piece went on all 20 or so puzzles we owned. Her nursery teachers were very impressed!

She is a sunshiny, fun-loving, athletic girl that we all love! I am so glad she came to our little family. Love ya, Kamber!
