"Camdenisms"

This post is probably more for me than for any of you.  I've decided that it would be a good idea to write down a few of the new things Camden is saying and doing before I forget them myself. 

Let's see...yesterday we were driving up the highway (I know...what a surprise) and we passed a logging truck.  I pointed it out to Camden and said something about how the truck was carrying wood, and his response was, "the man (meaning the driver) is going to help build a house."  How he made that connection, I'm not sure, but I was impressed. 

He was also standing with his legs apart last night, looked down, back up at me, and exclaims, "Look Momma, I'm a triangle."  It appears that he's picking up more and more each day.  Sometimes it's hard to believe that he's only 27 months old...what a big boy!

I'm sure these stories really only appeal to me, but that's okay. :o)

In other news, Baby Girl Nogueras is growing on the fast track.  It appears she may show up before her due date.  I go back to the doctor's on Monday afternoon for my 36 weeks check up and will have more news after that. 

Peter and I are enjoying our last few weeks as a family of three.  Peter and Camden have been spending a lot of time out in the yard playing "catch."  He's such a Daddy's boy. 

I'll close with a couple of recent pics.

This is Camden's "baby."  HIS name is "Baby Sister Coming Soon."  And yes, he is dressed in a chicken costume. 

"Stardust"

Tonight Camden informed me that his baby sister was going to be named, "Stardust."  He then followed up with the options of "ketchup" or "chicken nuggets."  It's a good thing we're not leaving the decision up to him! :o)

Welcome Aboard!

As I write this first post I'm already wondering how long I'll be able to keep this up. Now that Camden is 2 (and saying the darndest things), and we have a new baby on the way, I figured it was time to start blogging about the events of our lives here in VA. (Took me long enough...I know). Spring break seems as good a time as any to begin, so here we go.

We took Camden to the circus in Richmond last night. I think it was the best night of his life so far. He was absolutely in love with the elephants (he managed to bring a souvenir one home with him), and the pirates, tigers, motorcycles, and clowns. I found out when we got there that it was Peter's first trip to the circus too. While I don't think it was the same sense of magic for him, I do believe he enjoyed the motorcycles, acrobatics, and the look of sheer joy on Camden's face. I'm pretty sure this could turn into a yearly Nogueras family event.

In other news, Camden moved into his new "big boy bedroom" this week. The transition went even better than I expected. We don't have anything up on the walls yet, but all of his toys have moved in (yay I have a living room again), and he has his new train bed set. He's really liking the idea of being a "big boy."

Uncle Dave was visiting and helping Peter with some work downstairs (and even mowed the lawn for us-go Uncle Dave), so Camden and I had a date out to the movies. We went to see "How to Train A Dragon." Camden loved it. He's still talking about Hiccups and Toothless (the dragon). I really like that Camden is starting to be able to do more. Of course, as he's doing more, we're starting over again in a month with another little one. We're all excited. As Camden says, "Baby sister coming soon!"

If I can figure out how, I'll post some pics for you here.

Happy Friday!
Jill :o)
