Waaahooo!

I just can't believe how quickly my baby boy is growing up! The past couple of months have meant big change for him. Not only did he become a BIG brother but he has gotten so much older looking. He is already fitting in size 3T (jean length is perfect, but have to draw in the waist) He now can point out a "fish" ANYWHERE. He loves fish, it's so fun to hear him point out things like booball (football) bikes and feet, which could be his acutal feet or shoes! His vocabulary is really improving just in the past few weeks he is already trying to form his sentences. It's funny though because everything is still a "bite" whether he wants food or a drink! We recently bought him a Toy Story potty chair and pull ups trying to get him started, and it's def. been a slow process. I finally decided to follow the example of my friend Stacey Breaux, she was having her son walk around w/ out a diaper to help potty train him. Well tonight we took Camerons diaper off and gave it a try AND he pee'd in his potty TWO times!!! We were sooo excited, and you could tell he felt very proud of himself :) For a while I have been sitting in the bathroom w/ him just waaiiittting for him to do something and he never would. Then when a little bit of pee squeeked out (which he imeadiatly stoped himself, probably thinking it was the weirdest thing that had ever happend to him lol) we ran him to his potty, sat him down and waited. Well nothing happend until I left him alone with a magazine and when I went back to check on him there it was, PEE!!! lol It's so funny the things you get excited about as a parent, but there we all were, jumping up and down with excitement that our boy pee'd in his potty :) Cameron is also learning how to ride his bike, and he loooves it! It's a cute red radio flyer bike he got for his birthday from Nick's srgt. Every day he points to the door and says "ride bike?" and if I say anything that even sounds like bike he gets waaaay excited. I'm just so proud of my sweet boy, he has been such a helper to me when it comes to his little sister. Always bringing her his toys to play with, or trying to get her to dance w/ him :) The other week I was recording them and I waved bye to Cameron and he waved, then took Gracie's hand and waved for her!! It really was the cutest thing he had ever done! Here are some pictures of my big boy riding his bike :)

The next day we went to the park to play and someone's dog had gotten out and started playing with Cameron. They both had a blast together and it made me really anxious for him to get his own dog someday!

I'm suprised daily at how much natural sports ability my son has! He is clumsier than heck, but he can swing a bat, throw a ball and wrestle anyone like no ones business! Which of course makes his daddy SO proud!

Gracie has just been growing SO fast! Every morning I say "Hi" to Gracie and no joke she say's it back!! I'm not kidding, it really is the cutest thing that she is already trying to mimick sounds :) Today I tried Gracie's Easter dress on her and it FITS, like really fits well. Soooo I'm not thinking it's going to two months from now which kinda stinks... I got it in a 3-6 month size so I really figured it would work perfectly. I'm thinking it's the brand that runs small because, she still fits 0-3 in everything else. So I'm either going to buy the same dress in a bigger size, or just completely start over. Her dress is pink and Navy and Cameron got a Navy Ralph Lauren half zip pullover for Christmas that he was going to wear with a pink button up underneath. That would have been PERFECT, so I may just get the same one to keep the idea I originally had. I am still nursing, and Gracie is doing really well with it. In fact, a little tooo well, she dislikes bottles and only will take them when she is "starving" but will never be quite satisfied when she is done with it. I just last night bought a new bottle that I'm hopeing she takes to a little better because I have a supply of a month and a half built up in my freezer and I'd like for her to drink it before it goes bad. Plus I get NO breaks lol it's hard to nurse and do anything else, I'm not sure if she is even hungry half the time or is just using me as her cuddly pacifier! WHICH by the way, I am still having a hard time getting her to take, I have tried just about all different kinds and she just isn't interested. Dr. Browns are the only ones she will kind of take. Oh well! Here are some pictures taken today of Gracie :) You can see in these pictures just how BIG she is getting!

I love how there is a paci right by her but she would rather have her hand lol
