Yeah ... Congratulations Kathy!!!

Today (early, early this a.m.) Cal's youngest sister Kathy had a baby girl!! Kathleen Marie Cameron - named after her great, great Grandma Yates and born on her birthday. We haven't seen pictures yet, but apparently she has dark spiky hair and is verrrryyyy cute! Kathleen was 6 lbs, 11 oz. and 18" long. What a nice size! Carmen will be posting pictures on Facebook tonight so we are excited to see our new neice! The "Yeah" part of the title of this blog has to do with Blake!! He is a "yeahing" machine! LOL! You know how most kids say no, no, no, no ... not Blake! He says "yeah" to everything! It's so cute! Every question we ask him, he says yeah in response! We've been asking him if he's having a sister and he says, "Yeah!" Then we ask him if he's having a brother and he says, "Yeah!" It's pretty cute! I hope the yeah thing sticks and he doesn't start saying no all the time. We try not to say no to him that much. We try to save the no's for the major things and say ta-ta most of the other times. I've been realizing lately how much Blake is growing up. We are having more and more fun each day! He can be so goofy at times. We love chasing him around or one of us chasing him and him diving into the other's safe arms. His giggles and laughs are so cute and one of the best sounds in the world! I just LOVE his little personality!! I'm also very glad he's still cuddly :) His cuddles can make any bad day go away in a flash! He is getting quite smart too!! I think he understands much more than we realize. Yesterday his jeans were a bit too long so I told him to come here so I could roll his pants up and he bent over and grabbed his pants and said, "Pants!" I was really surprised! He also loves figuring things out. He enjoys trying to plug the laptop power cord into the laptop and un-screwing bottle lids from the bottle. The look of concentration on his face is priceless! I'm on the hunt for a toy that has these types of activities. I seen one at Toys R Us but it isn't there anymore. I think we need to exercise his analytical mind!! Blake isn't walking anymore, he's running! As he walks across the room he picks up speed then loves to "crash" onto his big stuffed bear!!! Too funny! We are off to Saskatchewan on Friday for a wedding and then on to the cabin on Sunday for a week. We are really looking forward to this vacation! It is much needed! I am still not feeling too good and hoping that now that I am in my 2nd trimester this "all day" sickness will go away!! I have noticed that I'm not as tired as I was last week, so hopefully that will continue. Take care everyone, we will talk to you when we get back!

Love Cal, Tracy, Blake and Baby
