Campbell is turning into the sweetest little baby girl. I have decided that this is one of my favorite baby stages. Campbell is really smiley and interactive, but she is still a little baby and likes to cuddle and snuggle and will fall asleep on your chest — best of both worlds! I think this time around I am able to really enjoy this early stage, because although it presents its own challenges, I know it is so fleeting.

Here are her stats:

• I am not sure of her weight or height, since she doesn’t have another doctor’s visit until 4 months, but everyone remarks on how long she is (just like big bro!) and Ben and I think she is getting really fat! She has the cutest little rolls on her thighs and arms. I love it!

• Campbell really like sitting in her bouncy chair, but she gets overstimulated fairly easily. We usually take her toy bar off once she starts to get fussy, and then she is happy again. She likes her car seat, but doesn’t fall asleep in it very easily, so if it is nap time and she is in her car seat, she will probably be in tears until you get moving!

• Campbell likes her hand, but not as much as Sam did at this age. She likes to look at it, and occasionally will suck on it.

• I tried swaddling her a couple of times so that her hand was out, but she didn’t suck on her hand. So I am back to swaddling her like normal. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it, right?

• Sleeping at night has been a little bit hit or miss lately. She goes to sleep after nursing at 7:30, and then she has a dream feed at 10:30, and then she mostly sleeps until 7:30. But for about a week, she started waking up between 4 and 5 again, which sucked. So I worked on making sure she was getting plenty of milk during the day and that helped a lot and she went back to sleeping until 7:30 a.m. most of the time. However every couple of nights she still wakes up between 6 and 7 in the morning. I remember Sam doing something similar so I am sure she will grow out of it.

• Schedule: Right before the 3 month mark I switched Campbell to a new schedule and it is going great! She has her first nap from 9:30-10:30 then gets up and eats and stays awake for another 2 hours. Then she has her mid-day nap from 12:30-2:30. She wakes up and eats and stays awake until 5:30, when she naps for an hour. And then she eats and stays up until 7:30, when she eats again and goes straight to bed.

• Being awake for two hours between naps is sometimes tricky for Campbell, but if she gets too fussy, I can always plop her down with the mobile. She still loves that thing!

• She is really talking these days. Of course, every time I try to video tape it, she completely stops! I will try to get a video to post soon!
• Campbell is full of smiles. All you need to do is make eye contact and her face lights up. I really love when I am busy doing something and I take a second to look over at her in her bouncy seat and she is smiling away with the salt shaker, or whatever other object is in her sight line. So precious!

I  can’t believe Campbell has already been in our family for three months! Can’t wait to see what the next three months hold!
