Campbell eats cereal and sleeps 11 1/2 hours...
I have been so tired lately and my girl was waking up so much during the nighttime...well I decided to start supplementing her some formula, just so I know she was/is getting enough to eat, and I also started her on rice cereal. She did so so good with it, and she just keeps getting better. She might be a tad impatient...gotta constantly have that spoon in her mouth, lol.
And after starting it, she slept 9 hours, and 11 1/2 hours back to back nights. I'm sure I'm jumping the gun here and hoping this will solve all our night time problems, but here's to dreaming! I will say that it has been nice, even though I still wake up at night and have to check to make sure all is good. Plus, Duke is going through some jealousy disobedience and it's driving me nuts...so I'm constantly having to deal with him at all hours too.
Gonna leave you with a few pics of my girl lately and part of the video of her eating rice cereal (Please excuse us talking...I hate the way I sound on video)!

YUCKY...
So...as soon as I put up that "all smiles" post...I got sick...and then wonderful Grammy who helped take care of Cami when I was sick, got sick...then Daddy...who didn't get home until Saturday morning got sick...so the only one who has made it without feeling awful has been C and Grandpa...and he said it's because he's too ornery!
With that said...one of these days when everything is back to normal in our world, I will post some new pics!

so happy!
Even though we've had many days of this lately...
I'm so happy to see this...
I also want to send up a prayer and ask all of you who read to do so as well for our sweet family members dealing with that awful cancer. We received some shocking news today and know that ultimately God is in control and we rest in knowing that!

4 cherished months
To my sweet Campbell Grace,
This week you turned 4 months old. It was a rough week for the both of us. You were really sick and had your first fever for 4 days. We made a couple trips to the doctor and you didn't even get your shots because you were too sick. It was so hard for Mommy to see you this sick. You didn't want to eat, had a hard time sleeping, unless you were in my arms, and just felt awful. There were no smiles and you hardly made any noises except to cry. You became so weak and it just broke our hearts. We know this is only the first sickness of many in your life, but we know that it is good for you to develop your immune system. It's still no fun though.
Lately you have been sticking your tongue out, making this "bitter beer face", haha, and also making squirting noises with your lips. We haven't seen any teeth yet, but have been curious if they might be there ready to come in at any time with all the gumming you have been doing.
You have started playing in your jumper. You love to stand up when we hold you in our laps. Daddy calls you his little ballerina, because your legs are always crossed and you stand on your tip toes.
You still only roll from side to side, but don't have any interest in rolling over it seems. We have to be patient, you will do it when you are ready, but we do work with you everyday, trying to get you to do it. Dr. G says it shouldn't be long.
You have been grabbing and holding onto toys longer. Especially your rattles, you shake them and occasionally hit yourself in the face when you get a little crazy. On your tummy, you reach for and push your toys around.
Since you have been so sick, you have NOT been sleeping through the night. And since you have had a cold/illness for what feels like a month now, it has been hard on Mommy getting up with you at least 2 times a night. I'm hoping this is just a phase and part of the being sick and stuffy. We have had a humidifier going in your room every night to help you breathe. I'm praying you start sleeping ALL night again soon! Our routine has been so off, so it's time to get back to it.
Speaking of sleep, you are still putting yourself to sleep at night, praise the Lord. You talk and play with your Glowworm and love the look at the mobile I made you as you drift off to sleep.
You are still wearing size 2 diapers and 3-6/6 month clothes. You are 14 lb 8 oz (Mommy was a whole pound heavier at this age, 75%) and 25 inches long (80-90%).
You have been doing better and better each week at the daycare. Last week you were there, you took two 1 hour naps...previously you would have a few catnaps up to 30 minutes each...and you were exhausted by the end of the day. You also are taking your bottles well for them!
I'm sure I could go on and on about all the things you amaze us with everyday. We are so lucky to be your mommy and daddy! You are one loved baby girl. It's hard to believe it's September...in just 3 short months you will be having your very first Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. I can't wait for that, but really I can, because I am cherishing every single day with you. You are growing so fast.
All my love,
Mommy

4 months and a sick baby
This will be short and sweet...our sweet girl is 4 months old today and so so sick. Please pray she can kick this virus fast...we are at 36 hours with fever and not eating much of anything...we had her 4 month check-up today with Dr. G, but didn't get shots...who would've ever thought I would want her to be able to get shots so much...so we have to make a trip back next week as long as she is better. She weighs 14lb8oz (75%) and is 25 inches long (80-90%).
Hopefully sometime this week, I can put more effort into a good 4 month post for our girl and all the exciting things she is doing! Right now, she just laid down for a nap. I hope she starts feeling better soon. Dang viruses...I know this is only her first of many, unfortunately! I love this girl so much, and it makes me so sad to see her hurt.

A baby book and a mobile...
So I don't have tons of time, but I wanted to update the blog with some of my projects I've been working on...
I finally ordered and received Campbell's baby book! I absolutely love it! I searched all over the internet and in stores for the perfect one. No I didn't have it before she was born, but better late than never! She's only almost 4 MONTHS OLD!?!?!?! Yikes! Anyway, I better get to it, there's so much that's happened in the past 4 months to document :) Here are a few pics of the gorgeous book!
I also made a bow holder a while back...here it is:
And last, but not least...THE MOBILE!
So I knew I wanted to make a mobile, but I'm not necessarily that crafty. So awesome AUNT DAVNEY made Campbell the sweetest little birdies to go on the mobile, and I found the guts to an originally $87 mobile at Lone Star Baby. I got it for $5, yes that's right, 5 DOLLARS! That totally made my week! It's not the most well put together thing, but it works and I know Campbell already loves it! Here are a few pics of it!
And here's a few more from our week! Hope everyone has a Happy Labor Day weekend! We are heading to the lake for a little sun and R&R!
