Campbell had quite an experience today.  Check out this truck that parked in front of our house!  It’s bigger than a standard 18-wheeler, and I’ve never seen anything like it.  The owners are the people who own Gus’s Fried Chicken, and they came to a crawfish boil in our neighborhood, and they were so nice.  They even let Campbell climb in the cab and pull the horn, just like a trucker!

And, really, it’s even bigger than it looks!

Besides that, in the last week, Campbell has really been growing up.  He started walking up the stairs by himself.  He still needs to hold onto the wall or a railing, but he really is doing it on his own.  I didn’t know he could, and I turned around and he was halfway up the stairs to the third floor!

And, his vocabulary is just exploding.  He’s copying and imitating everything, so mom and dad are going to have to be extra careful about what we say from now on – and start spelling words.  New favorites are “oh dear,” “mimi” (for marie), “avery” (marie’s daughter), and “piece.”  He’s also saying “tee-tee” and “potty” and “flush,” though he’s not really figured out what all of that means.  And, the most favorite of all is “golf cart.”  🙂
