Early Potty Trainer?! Lets Hope So!!

Cameron never ceases to amaze me...

Last weekend at his cousin Elijah's birthday party, he asked to go potty twice and went both times!! Then on Monday night after bath, he asked to go potty again and was so excited because he tooted in the potty. He was so excited he kept saying, "Mommy I toot potty!" And once again, the same thing happened last night - he asked to go potty and actually went AND tooted in it again, thinking that he pooped in it :) He was so incredibly proud of himself that he couldn't stop smiling and clapping, saying "Mommy/Daddy I toot pots!" or "Mommy/Daddy I pee pots!" I'm hoping we're onto something with this, but am cautious to not get my hopes up as I've heard it does take boys a little longer to potty train :) 

Other Cameron phrases: 
Oh shoot! 
Mommy awesome!
Where Daddy? Daddy work twuck? 
Manny no no! 
Mommy stinky
Watch, Mommy, watch (as he does something naughty, of course...) 

He's getting much better with his ABC's and we're also working with him on saying his name. It's so funny to hear him say Cameron Ryan Manke. He does a pretty good job! Also, now that he knows how to say his first name, he says it ALOT!! He refers to himself in the third person quite a bit - "Cameron eat" or "Cameron sleepy". 

He also continues to kiss my tummy and talk to baby girl. At night when reading stories before bed, he will often times lay his head on my tummy still and use her as a pillow. It's absolutely adorable and makes me imagine to the days when we will be cuddling our two kiddos :)) 

This little girl is causing me quite the discomfort already - lower back pain, hip pain, feeling out of breath, still tired all the time, waking up to pee multiple times at night. We have our next appointment next Thursday and I'm excited to hear her heartbeat again :) 
Typical boy! 

Oooh scary!!
