Cambree Weeks 9-13

Nicknames: baby girl, itty bitty, Cammy

Weight: She was 11 pounds even at her 2 month checkup (we actually made it to the doctor when she was 10 weeks old) At her 2 month the Dr said she was doing great and he had no concerns about anything. She is in the 1st percentile for height at 21 inches, 37th percentile for weight at 11 pounds, and that sweet head of hers is coming in at 76th percentile, 39 1/2 inches.

Clothes: She is still able to fit in most 0-3 months, but is quickly becoming too long for those pjs. She fits in some 3-6 months sizes depending on the brand. Some of my favorite PJs are about to be too small and I am so not looking forward to taking out more tiny clothes and putting them away.

Diapers: She is in size 1 diapers still, we haven't had any issues with them

Likes: Cambree loves to be talked to. She enjoys eye contact at all times and being the center of attention. She is starting to like her toys, we have a cow rattle on her carseat and she will kick and smile at it. She loves her daddy and gives him the biggest smiles. She seems to enjoy when the dogs give her drive by licks while she is in her swing. She likes to be close to Mama and the Ergo and Solly wrap have been life savers.

Dislikes: Still hating getting out of the bath. She is not a fan of being constipated, but really who is? She does not like it when she is overly tired and she will let you know it.

Schedule: Well, I am thinking about implementing some type of sleep schedule, but I haven't totally committed. I am not ready to move her to her bedroom, but know I would benefit from the much needed sleep. She is still waking up about 2-3 times a night. She mostly dream feeds with each wake up and then around 8:30 wakes up and is alert. She has slept through the night entirely only twice, but those nights were glorious. I am thinking about skimming through some of the different baby schedule books, but I am hesitant because I know I don't want to implement a super strict regimen.

Milestones: She started babbling and "talking" back to us at 9 weeks and 6 days old. She took three flights to and from Cabo, Mexico and did so good! She slept almost all of each of the three flights and was pretty happy when awake. She slept through customs both times as well. We put her in the Ergo and she was as snug as a bug. She has completed her first RV trip to northern Colorado! She met her other grandparents and great aunt and uncle in Colorado.

Other Milestones: We will get back from Colorado and then a week later head to Garner State Park in south Texas. We are super excited to camp in our own camper as well as float in the beautiful Frio River. Cammy is ready to try floating in the clear water also.

Looking forward to: Garner state park!

CRM Weeks 5-8

Nicknames: Cammy, itty bitty, and Baby girl

Weight: We weighed her on our home scale the day she turned 8 weeks and she was about 10 pounds. We weighed her ok the fed ex scale at work and she was 10 lbs 7 oz. She has definitely grown an inch or so as well. We go to her 2 month check up when we get back from vacation.

Clothes: I switched out all of the newborn sized clothes for 0-3 and 3 months during week 7. She was getting too long for the newborn sizes.

Diapers: This week (week 8) we just moved to size 1.

Likes: She likes when her daddy bounces her and talks to her. She likes her warm baths and being outside. She enjoys watching her dogs when they walk by her. She has turned into a snacker and only downs her bottles when she is starving after a long nap. She still thinks her dad's truck is the best.

Dislikes: Being cold, we still haven't mastered getting out of the bath without her losing her mind yet. She has had a bit of colic since week 4 and we are slowly getting over that. We have nights here and there still where she cries for an hour or so, but that is much better than the three hours she was crying for at week 5! She does not like being hungry and as soon as she decides it is time to eat you better be ready!

Schedule: She eats pretty much every two hours. She wakes up around 7 or 8 and is usually taking her first nap by about 9 am. If we are out and about she likes to be awake so her napping schedule will get all out of wack. She is sleeping 6 or 7 hour stretches at night.

Milestones: Her cries have changed and I can now tell between her tired cry or just plain mad cry. She follows you with her eyes now and can see further distances. She holds her head up all the time and pretends she isn't actually a baby. She will stretch out her legs and try to stand up now as well. She enjoys sitting up with assistance and being able to look around at everything that is going on.

Other Milestones: She attended her first wedding. She had her first long road trip and was an absolute champ! She smiles all the time and is especially smiley first thing in the morning.

Looking forward to: We are flying out to Cabo soon and I am super nervous and excited for her first flight. When we get back she will be dedicated at the church and we are looking forward to that time as well.

Cambree Reece,

Baby girl you have completely changed our lives for the better. It is hard to remember the times when you were not here. Your daddy and I love you so very much, even when you're screaming at us at 5 am :) . We are enjoying watching you grow up and learn and experience new things. You are getting quite the little personality. Love you so much itty bitty.

Love,

your mama
