Sitting Pretty

This picture is pre-move, but I realized I haven't posted it on here yet. I think it's hilarious! Camilla loves her little potty, but has yet to actually use it. This was before church when we were all getting ready. She had to brush her teeth just like Mommy and Daddy were doing. 

Her newest thing is saying "Bye-Bye... (something)". 
Yesterday we got:
"Bye-Bye...Fish"
"Bye-Bye...Strawberries"
"Bye-Bye...Cat Show"
"Bye-Bye...Dad"
"Bye-Bye...Mum"
"Bye-Bye...Teddies"
"Bye-Bye...Baby"

Needless to say, she adds anything she can to the end. She's been working really hard at putting two words together and it's fun to hear! When she goes to bed at night, she pulls up her covers and says "Night-Night..Baby". It's pretty hilarious! "House Coat" is her catch phrase and most often used. She also learned how to say "Hello" the other day, but it sounds more like "Eh-llo" (English style). I have yet to catch it on camera...

Last night we shared some more sweet moments as we had family home evening. We got to sing some songs with Camilla before we went into the lesson. One of the songs was "Ring Around the Rosy".  She LOVED it. After each time we sang, she would exclaim "HAND! HAND!" and grab each of our hands and try to pull us up off the floor to sing it again. We did it I bet 10 times. As we started the lesson she tried to sing it and do the actions to show us she wasn't done yet! We then looked at pictures and she pointed out Jesus and the prophet. It was so fun to watch her. 

I truly feel like I'm 'Sitting Pretty'. I am so blessed to have this new little house, a sweet little daughter and a loving husband who holds the priesthood in our home. I also feel blessed that we are able to welcome another little one into our family and I am very looking forward to meeting him/her.  I have a month and a half to go and am still feeling pretty good. The hardest part right now is sleeping. My legs will often go to sleep, get sore, or cramp up in the middle of the night and poor Mr. Stannix gets woken up by me jumping out of bed to ease a cramp, or complaining about how sore my legs are. I often take a couple trips a night down our creeky stairs just to stretch my legs and grab a glass of water. Other than that though, things are going great, and May couldn't come quicker!
