...more lately
Once again, sorry for the lack of posts lately. We are trying to figure things out with Campbell again. She is working on cold #2 in a month. She is not sleeping good at night (we are up at least twice every night), she isn't sleeping good during the day, she still doesn't nap at daycare, and she is needing to eat more often. It has been a rough few days...but she is such a trooper and doesn't seem to act like she feels too bad. Aunt Casey was in town this weekend and we had a fun time. I have lots of things I want to post about but I'm so behind on laundry and cleaning house, and Campbell is asleep in my arms. I will leave you with a few pics that Nini took while we were in Branson!

Campbell Grace Loves Her Daddy!!!
Some of the best parts of my day are watching my baby girl with her daddy! There's just this look that she only gives him. A look of adoration...He is her hero! And she has this special voice just for him! Enjoy the sweet video of them I took last night!

Home Sweet Home
We are home! I enjoy going on vacation, but I always LOVE coming home. It is the best feeling to sleep in your own bed! I know Campbell is happy to be home too, but she is trying to get adjusted and caught up on sleep. She made our 7 1/2 hour drive home a piece of cake. She was such a good baby! Everything I was worried about with traveling just went right out the window. I will go ahead and get some of the pictures from our trip to Missouri! By the way, the weather was gorgeous...I did NOT miss the Texas heat :)

Vacation...
Hey all,
I wish this could be longer, but I have so much to get done before we head out on vacation tomorrow. We are meeting up with Jacob's dad's side of the family in Hollister, MO, just outside of Branson at Table Rock Lake for a few days. We are excited to go, anxious to see how Campbell does on the road trip, and ready for some R&R. This week went pretty smoothly, yes, Mommy cried when she left Cami in the arms of the daycare worker, but got over it...I just absolutely miss my baby girl when I'm at work. She has had a hard transition to daycare, by 1. getting her first cold, and 2. not napping well (10-30 minute naps at a time, at home it's 1-3 hours at a time), and 3. not taking full bottles at feeding time. She still seems pretty happy though when we get her. She just isn't used to all the other loud babies, and she doesn't want to miss a thing by sleeping...so her days at home are spent sleeping a lot. Just wanted to say a quick hi and sorry for the lack of posts this week...I'll try to catch up next week/weekend...but yay for getting ready for vacay!
And it wouldn't be a real post without a picture :)

3 Wonderful Months...
To my sweet Campbell Grace,
Today, you turn 3 months old. We absolutely cannot believe how fast you have grown and that it has already been 3 months since you blessed our family with your presence! You have changed so much over these 3 months. We love to listen to you. You talk, and squeal, and coo, and giggle, and they are just the best noises in the world! You are much more observant of things these days. You definitely recognize your hands and you are trying and successfully grabbing objects and pulling them up to your mouth. Everything comes up to your mouth.
You have wild and crazy hair, but we love it! It has grown so much. You will most definitely end up with a mullet, lol. You have a wide range of colors in your hair. The roots growing in are platinum blonde. I can't wait to see what color you end up with.
Your eyebrows and eyes can tell us the whole story! We love to watch your facial expressions every second! You have your daddy's beautiful dark blue eyes. I could look into them all day.
You are rolling from side to side. You haven't quite figured out how to roll over from tummy to back and vice versa, but I know it won't be long! You do kick and squirm your way all over your crib. You never wake up in the same position I put you down to sleep!
Right now, you are starting to wear size 2 diapers all the time, not just at night. You are still wearing 3-6 month clothes. Those that are specifically 6 months are quite large, but you still wear them some... I just started putting away your newborn and 0-3 month clothes...I just can't believe it's already time for them to go. I just remember yesterday bringing you home and thinking how tiny you were.
You are still sleeping throughout the night and mommy couldn't be happier! You have been putting yourself to sleep at night for the past 2-3 weeks as well. I'm so proud of my girl! You have taken so well to the Eat, Play, Sleep schedule!
Speaking of play, you love this time! You really like your Sophie the giraffe, your buzzer bee, and the owl and bird on your play gym! You have also started sitting in your Bumbo chair. Although, you have some extremely chubby legs, so who knows how long you will be able to sit in it!
You are such a joy to me! I can't imagine my life without you. Your daddy and I love you so so so much!
By the way... You start your first full day at the daycare on Monday, while Mommy and Daddy go back to work. I have mixed feelings about this, but know you will be loved on and taken care of. I pray you will continue to take a bottle well, and be able to continue your routine there like at home. There are so many changes for us this week.

...lately...
Hi all,
Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Lots of things have been happening lately. I'm actually recovering from surgery. I had it this morning. Nothing too bad, a laproscopy procedure, but general anesthesia none the less...and my first time ever for it. I had to be at the hospital at 5:30 am this morning and my mom kept Campbell while Jacob and I were at the hospital. Miss Campbell woke up around 4 wanting me. It definitely made me feel good even though I had to get up so early, but I got a little snuggle time with my girl before "going under". I am feeling great so far...hoping for a nap later today!
We had a wonderful weekend at the lake! Pictures to follow.
I will also have another post sometime this week for our sweet boy, Duke! Today is his 3rd birthday. He is such a good puppy dog!
