Eyes, teeth, and taking care of baby

Below are just a few random pictures of Camila today....
Camila, where's your eye? Camila, where are your teeth?
Here she is playing with her baby (and just being silly).
Changing her baby's diaper.
Laying the baby down on a blanket.
And just a couple of random shots. We still aren't sure what color her eyes are (they're not brown, not blue, and definitely not green. Kind of a hazel grey for now.) But her hair is blond from the front, more brown with blond highlights in the back.
Imagine here a loud, screeching sound. This is what she does everytime she gets excited...an incredibly loud, high pitched screech. Maybe it will be better when she screeches outside now that it's nice out!

Happy Easter

Sorry I've been so bad at posting lately. We've just had a lot going on at home and at work. Camila is growing up very fast, and learns something new every day. She's started saying "please", "spoon", "there it is", "here you go", and knows where her mouth, nose, ear, eye, hair, knee, belly, teeth, pata, and hand are.
She's been doing really well lately at mealtime. She's had mac n' cheese twice this week, whereas she refused to touch the stuff since October! She's still working on feeding herself with a spoon (a very messy deal) but she has so much fun. She hasn't been napping very well at daycare, so she's been pretty cranky in the evenings. It's pretty tough when Fabricio and I are also exhausted, but we have to keep reminding ourselves that she's the little one and can't rationalize why she's cranky.
She's got quite a temper on her.... She wants to do what she wants to do, and will scream and shout when she's upset. We get quite a few temper tantrums out of her. Last night I took her for a walk, and she started running to our neighbors house b/c they had toys outside. Well, I wouldn't let her play with them, so she threw a temper tantrum on the neighbors lawn...while they were watching from the window!
Here are a few pictures from Easter. We really enjoyed the nice weather, and Camila had a great time exploring everything on my parents' deck.
