Camden...3 Months

With being at my parents for almost two weeks and Zach being out of the country I forgot to do Cam's 3 Month post until today!

Movement: Camden has changed in the moving department so much this month. On his 3 month, birthday he decided he could finally roll from back to tummy. He loves this because he is a tummy baby. This morning I found him the opposite direction I put him down in his crib at 4 a.m. And he is starting to do circles. I can't believe how much he has changed and I am sure Zach will be very surprised when he comes home.

Eating: Camden is still eating 4 oz every 3 hours. At night he will go much long, but we have also started giving him a 5 oz bottle. He still gets an upset tummy, but it doesn't seem to be as bad. This month he started spitting up more, which I think might be because he is teething.

Teeth: No teeth, but pretty sure he is teething already. He has starting spitting up more, being drooling like crazy and he is just chewing things more.

Sleep: He is usually going to bed anytime from 7 to 8 p.m. and then he wakes up between 2 and 4 a.m. He has been so up and down this last couple of weeks, but I am thinking it is because we weren't in our own home and Zach was gone. He will some times sleep until 4 a.m. and I think we are getting so close to sleeping through the night, but then the next night it is 1 or 2 a.m. We will get there some day!

Voice: Wow, he found his voice this month! He is quite chatty now and I love listening to him. He loves to smile and giggle. He really loves laughing at his goofy sister. I can not waiting to see what the next month brings.

Favorites: I would say his favorite thing this month is his big sister! He loves to watch her and giggle at her. She of course loves it too.

Diapers/Clothes Size: Camden is now in size 2 diapers. He is still in 3 month clothes, but when we go into Fall clothes he will move into 6 month because he is so long.

Camden...2 Months

Movement: Camden is starting to move his body much more this month. He holds his head but pretty well when he does tummy time, if he doesn't fall asleep. He has also found that his hands and feet can make things more.

Eating: Camden is still eating 3 to 4 oz every 3 to 4 hours. At night it is usually more like 6 to 6 1/2 hours. He is a pretty good eater and he is starting to fill out nicely because of it. We have noticed though his afternoon bottle seems to upset his stomach a little bit.

Teeth: No

Sleep: He is usually going to bed anytime from 7 to 8 p.m. and then he wakes up between 2 and 4 a.m. We have been having trouble getting him to bed after that bottle though. Mommy has decided that she will probably start working out during that time because if I am going to be up doing nothing, I should try to get something done. He has been sleeping in his crib since he was a week old so that goes well the first half of the night, but second half he would rather cuddle.

Voice: Camden has really started to find his voice. He doesn't seem to be as chatty as his sister was at his age, but maybe he will be more reserved. We are very excited to see what his personality will be like. He is starting to show it a little bit. He loves giggling at his big sister, which makes her very happy.

Favorites: His favorite thing is gym right now, he loves that it makes noise and he has found that he can talk to the baby in the mirror. It is fun to listen to. His other favorite thing is cuddling, he is such a cuddler. If he could cuddle while he slept all the time, he would be in heaven. Must get that from daddy, since mommy has quite the personal space issue...ha ha!

Diapers/Clothes Size: He is still in size 1 diapers and I think he will be for awhile still. He is still in 3 month clothes, but probably only because it is summer. He is a very long baby so we are going to have to move him to 6 month pjs. We bought 6 months clothes for the Fall, but I have a feeling by Christmas he will be in 9 month clothes.

Camden: 1 Month

I did monthly updates for Kaylie so now it is Camden's turn. 


Movement: Camden has been quite the mover since he was born. You put him in tummy time and he kicks his feet like mad and moves himself. He is just starting to hang out on his gym, he is starting to kick his feet on the piano and hitting the toys with his hands.

Eating:Camden eats about 3 oz every 3-4 hours. Luckily, he doesn't spit up like his sister did, but he seems to get gas more than she did. We are thinking we need to move him up to 4 oz. during the day soon, but we will see. He seems to like to eat more than Kaylie did. 

Teeth: No teeth


 Sleep: His sleeping is getting so much better than it was. Zach and I had a rough first few weeks with him. Zach was very busy and stressed at work so I felt bad letting him help me at night, but I had to let him because I am a terrible bear if I don't get enough sleep. He is now going to bed around 8 p.m. and sleeping to midnight or 1 a.m. Then he sleeps until 3 or 4 a.m. Then we are usually up at 7 a.m. or so. It is still rough with the nightly feedings, but it is getting much better. You forget how little a newborn sleeps at night, when it has been so long.

Voice: Other than crying we have not found our voice yet. Mommy and Daddy can not wait to hear the chattering. I am sure that Kaylie will love her brother even more once he starts talking.

Favorites: Camden seems to enjoy his bouncer the most. It bounces on its own so that is great for us since he does not nap in his crib. I seem to remember another child that never did that either!

Diapers/Clothes Size: Pampers Size 1 for Diapers and 0-3 Months in clothes.
