Cameron's 3 month update!

Three months have somehow already passed and out little guy is growing fast.  It's crazy to me how time keeps going faster and faster, but I can't stop it!  This month was really hard at first for our poor baby with him getting RSV at the beginning, but we are so glad he has rebounded from being sick and is doing really great.  But his being sick did seem to mess with his sleeping schedule a bit.  All in all he is still a very happy and content baby during the day, but at night tends to be grumpy pants around 7:30 on.  We can't quite figure out what to do so he will be happy, but we will keep trying different things.  I also returned to work a couple of weeks ago and things have gone really smoothly.  I miss being able to spend time with both Cameron and Emerson, but they are both in great hands.  So no more cuddling with Cam while watching The View as Emerson plays with some toys.  And no more occasional mid afternoon snoozes.  As a result, I'm feeling pretty tired so I am just going to write some highlights about our little man and where he is this month.  :)


  • We didn't have an appointment this month so we weighed on our scale and he weighs around 15 lbs 6 ounces.
  • He graduated to size 2 diapers.  They fit much better!
  • He is wearing mostly 6 month onesie's now and pajamas, but still wears some 3 month clothes.  
  • We can definitely see his eyes are more blue and his hair keeps getting lighter!  Except in the back where it is really dark so it looks a little unusual to me.  :)
  • He is drinking around 6-7 ounces and having 6 bottles.
  • Naps are still haywire... he sleeps 30-45 minutes most of the time, but still wants to sleep longer usually in the afternoon.  A new sleep strategy is we are not letting him sleep longer than 2 hours at a time if he does take a longer one.  I think it helps at night.
  • He has his last bottle around 8:45-9 and is in bed by 10.  We actually started adding in a little rice cereal to see if that helped him feel fuller through the night.  He wakes up anywhere between 5:30-7.  Here lately he has been sleeping until 6 or so for the most part.
  • Lots and lots of smiles this month!  He is very social and likes having conversations with us.
  • We are still swaddling him for naps and bedtime.  It is likely we will do this for a while!!
  • He is getting stronger and stronger with tummy time.  
  • He started laughing last week and that was so much fun to hear!  I already sent this video to a few of you, but here it is on YouTube: http://youtu.be/1H6pdFy1U2w
Last week we also met with the cranial people and they confirmed he needs a helmet.  :(  But it is not the end of the world and we realize this.  It will be temporary and is very necessary because we would't want him to have a wompass (this is a word we use in my family- ha ha) head when he grows up.  He has his appointment for the helmet fitting this Friday.  Hopefully we all adjust quickly so keep us in your happy thoughts!  When we met last week we were given the option of a design or solid colors and just didn't like the selection so we are going to contact this other company to see if we can get a design put on it or will figure something out.  Maybe we could get it painted like an Aggie helmet.  :)  Whoop right?!!  While we were looking at the options we thought these sayings were funny that other parents have used:


Here are some other pictures from over the month and then some that we just took for his 3 month pictures. Thanks to my sister for taking the family pictures for us!!
