Intelligender... to believe or not to believe?

Today I took the test Intelligender and it says we are having a girl! Too bad its only 82% accurate so that leaves 18% of a possibility thats its wrong. I would be so excited to have a girl but would also love another boy. Im kinda torn as to which I want and which I think this baby is. I guess we will find out if Intelligender is right in 9 more weeks!

Baby Brother or Baby Sister?

You read it right.... IM PREGNANT!
So now the question is will Cameron get to have a little brother or sister? We have a few weeks still to find that out. I am due June 10th 2010 and Im 9 weeks along right now. Somehow I have a belly already, but I love it! We are so excited to have another sweet little baby enter our family. I had an ultrasound done at about 7 weeks and I got to see its little heartbeat. I would post a picture but it looks like a grain of rice so when I get another scan in a few weeks I will post that picture:)

Trick or TREAT!

Mickey Mouse looking so cute:)
Camerons buddies Hank and Max, the two firemen. Cant you tell how excited they all are by their faces?

Cameron and Hank trick or treating together. Cameron caught on really fast. But he wouldnt say trick or treat, he would just yell in his own way "treat!" and then start grabbing candy out of the bowl.
The black nose rubbed off through the night but he still looked cute. Here he is walking around trick or treating. His bag got so heavy (at least for him) but he refused to let me carry it, he wanted to.
Me and my baby!
When we got home he decided to empy his bucket onto a chair and sort things out a little. He had such a great time and loved it! I cant wait for next year!

My Cutie!

It is very very rare that I get a decent picture of Cameron looking at the camera and smiling. He just learned to say "cheese" and look at the camera. So Halloween morning I put him in his festive shirt and said "come sit right here and say cheese." He did! And I got a good picture. Isnt he the cutest little thing ever!?

Halloween Treat with Grandma

Cameron really enjoys helping me cook. So on Halloween I thought it would be fun to make some yummy halloween cupcakes! My mom came down to help us and we had a lot of fun. At one point I just had the eggs and the water in the bowl and quick little Cameron grabbed it and spilled eggy water all over the place! But we cleaned up and there were no more messes after that.
Mixing the batter...
Filling the pan...
Frosting the cupcake...
Enjoying the cupcake!!

Pumpkin Parade at the YMCA

Cameron is in a class at the Y called toddler gym so twice a week we go and he gets to play in a big gymnastic room and do obstacle courses and sing songs. He loves it! Since it was Halloween in a few days they had everyone come in their costume and did the "Pumpkin Parade" where the kids get to go around the Y to different rooms and show off their costumes and trick or treat. He was a little confused the whole time but had fun anyway.

Me and Cameron and our good friends Kate and Oliver.

Cameron in the gym room playing with other kids, he was being kinda shy that day.
Enjoying his one of his lollypops on the way home!

Pumpkin Carving

Last year Cameron was way more into putting his hands in the gooey mess of the pumpkin. This year he wasnt so sure about it. He didnt want any of it on his hands so he used a spoon. I tried to get him to use his hands but I dont think it helped that Bret wont use his hands and wears gloves and uses a spoon so he wanted to be like daddy. But we had a lot of fun and I made tasty pumpkin seeds that night too!

Pumpkin Patch

This year we had a blast at the pumpkin patch. Cameron was able to participate and pick out his own pumpkin! He really liked the little white pumpkins so thats what he got. He was so funny, he kept trying to pick up all the pumpkins, big and small. Then we had a little accident. It was SO muddy and he slipped and face planted into the mud!! Luckily he was wearing two shirts so we took to top shirt off and tried to wipe him off as best we could but he was just a muddy mess from then on out. But that made it just that much more fun!!
Uh oh!! Here is Cameron covered in mud!
Here he is with his pumpkin he picked out. He loved riding in the wheel barrow.
Here are all our pumpkins.
Cameron examining his muddy self and feeling really confused.
While we were waiting for Bret to bring the truck around he started hugging the pumkins, it was so adorable!

Camerons Words

Cameron has been talking a bit more lately. In the past two months he has had a little word explosion. He has been saying mama and dada for some time now, but he is loving learning other new words. A lot of the time in the car we play the game where I say "Can you say _____" and then he either says it or tries. And whenever we go anywhere I point things out to him and tell him the name of items and he tries to say the word. He is so cute learning new things and you can tell he is proud of himself when he does it right. So the words he says right now are;
mama
dada
house
"Where is it?" (this is his favorite phrase. He will hide a toy and come as me where it is.)
ball
car
truck
more
milk
flower
diaper
duck
banana
"nama" for Grandma
Chris for Uncle Chris
please
thanks
Jesus
apple
up
cheese
pop-pop (for his toy that he pushes around that goes "pop-pop")
Animal noises: cow, sheep, chicken, elephant, snake, lion, bird(crow), owl, dinosaur...

Almost every day he works on a new word, but sometimes it takes a while to get it just right. He is learning and growing so fast and I cant beleive he is almost 18 months!! My little boy is getting so big!

Bubble Bath

The other morning I thought it would be fun to do a bubble bath. I havent done one for him since he was probably 6 months old. So he was so excited and confused all at once. He looked at the bubbles on his hands and then would look at me with such a funny face like "what the heck is this stuff?" Then once he got used to it he had a blast! I added a video of me clapping my hands together with bubbles in them and him cracking up at it.



Piles

The other day my silly boy had another silly idea. I wish sometimes I could hear what he is thinking. He decided to put all his stuffed animals that were downstairs plus a few toys on top of his Dad who was laying on the couch one by one...
Then he moved them all into a pile, one by one...
Then, he took a seat on his nice cushion of stuffed animals!
He cracks me up. He is so funny about piles and organizing things.

Snoozy Sunday

Last week Cameron woke up early from his nap after church and was still very tired. So he laid down on his elephant and took another little snooze. I thought it was just so cute and funny that he plopped himself down and fell asleep because he never does that! He slept like this for almost an hour on my living room floor.
