Big changes for our little family!

Hi everyone!! If you all read my facebook post this afternoon, you now know one of the reasons why the blog is late this month. I wanted to be able to tell everyone the good news and all the happenings in this months blog. So, it is now official, Cameron is going to be a big brother!! He doesn't quite know exactly what is going on but I have a feeling that soon he will begin to understand. He loves lifting up my shirt and patting my stomach (not mama's favorite!) and saying the word "Baby". I'm one lucky mama because he is so snuggly and helpful. I've been super sick this entire pregnancy so far and it would have been a lot harder with a crazy toddler. At 6 weeks, I had my first ultrasound to determine if that nasty cyst was back and thankfully it is long gone! I had an ultrasound, blood draw and OBGYN appointment this morning and everything looks great. The baby is growing like crazy! From the first ultrasound to the one today, the baby has grown a lot. The original due date was September 16th but it is looking like it will be sooner than that. Another huge change for our family is that we are moving to Auburn! We made the decision to sell our house and move closer to Ryan's work in Federal Way. It just made the most sense figuring I quit to be a stay at home mom. We actually move this Saturday! That's right people, the day after tomorrow!! Stay tuned for pictures of the new place. Should be a busy couple of weeks! Finally, the most important part of the blog - CAM THE HAM! This little boy is so funny! He is becoming quite a little comedian and loves to do goofy things. He stands on his head like a little tripod, makes funny noises and is constantly trying to make me laugh. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't laugh and smile for most of the day. He is really walking around now (still prefers to cruise around on all fours still) and is talking a lot more. He now is starting to ask directly for things and is communicating way better. For example, when he wants milk, he points to his tippy cup and says "BABA?" I'm trying my best to teach his the word "Please" and I think he understands it. When he yells at me to give him something, I quietly ask him to say please. He squishes his face up and says, "Pppppp." He gets whatever he wants after that! Cam snuggles on command (also does it himself), fluffs pillows, dances on command (also by himself), smiles when you smile at him and gives kisses! He does the sign for all done FINALLY and this is the best thing EVER! He is eating a lot more foods and loves to share snacks. Packing with a toddler has been both a challenge and surprisingly fun. He really loves to help push the boxes to the garage and tape things. I think it is safe to say that he is the best little guy ever! Teeth are shooting out of his gums daily (it feels). He has 6 teeth and is currently cutting 3 more! He even has a molar - yep, just one. For massively teething, he is being a pretty good boy. He has his moments when it gets the best of him but overall, you wouldn't know it. I'm sure I'm missing a ton of things but I now have baby brain and the brain of a toddler - JOY! Looking back over this blog, I feel that this was a great idea for me to do. With life being so hectic and crazy at times, it is wonderful to be able to read about Cameron and look at his pictures. I will start adding information/experiences about my second pregnancy on this blog as well. After the baby is born, I will have to add his/her name to the blog title! Better start thinking (Jonathan Hii is already hard at work!). Thank you to everyone who reads my blog - it means a lot that some follow our growing little family. Here are current pics of the Ham! Enjoy! And here are pictures of the new baby : )
