12 Weeks Old

Campbell was 12 weeks old yesterday. As I always say its going so fast. She is growing so fast and is just a wonderful baby. She is really starting to get a personality now. She smiles when she sees you and for no reason at all. We sat and had a little conversation last night, it was so cute. I would talk to her for awhile and she would make her little coo sounds. We went back and forth for about 10 minutes. We are excited for Christmas, Santa will be visiting both the girls. Speaking of Campbell she is up so I have to cut this post short, hope you love the cute smiles as much as I do.

Happy Belated Thanksgiving

Since Christmas is 2 weeks away I thought now would be a great time to show the super cute pictures of Campbell in her Thanksgiving sweater. My best friend, Jennifer, her mom, Janell, got this for Campbell and it is so cute. So her she is in all her pumpkin-ness, just love it. Thank you so much Janell for the sweater it was a big hit on Thanksgiving.

11 Weeks Old!

Today Campbell is 11 weeks old. We decided to take some pictures around the tree since we had our My First Christmas outfit on. She is still a great baby who loves to cuddle. She is really starting to smile allot now. She also does this little hand thing that is so precious. When I am holding her face to face she will take her right arm and wrap it around my upper left arm and latch on to the back of my arm with her little hand. It melts my heart every time, I guess its a mommy thing. We went to the doctor last Thursday for our 2 month check-up. Considering that she got 4shots she did very well. She cried while getting the shots but by the time I was at the checkout desk she had passed out, so I think shes a pretty tough cookie. She slept all day and most of the next, so mommy didn't mind that. Here are her measurements. Her weight 12.7(90% percentile), height 24 inches (95%), head 41cm (90%). Doctor said that she was doing great and she was really impressed with how well she is holding her head up, better than normal. We are going to have our eyes checked on Friday she was worried about some possible cross eyedness. She said that it can be completely normal but she wants it checked just in case, so will keep you posted.

What a cutie.


The best present under the tree.


What a cute little smile.

Come On-Really?

Yes ladies I could not help myself I have to make a post about my husband, and Timmy I want you to know that I love you to death, but sometimes I just want to say "come on-really? After you all read this you will know exactly what I mean. As you all know I am working more and with another child added into the mix, and Tim's crazy long hours I sometimes just feel as if I might go a little crazy. So on Tuesday night Tim got Campbell ready and into bed. I will give credit where it is due and Tim is a great dad and husband he is always ready and willing to help take care of his girls. He doesn't come home and sit in front of the tv he helps me with the kids and the house and I just want everyone to know that. This is not a husband bashing session, so on we go. So after her bath he asks where her gammies are, I say in the basket in her room I just folded them but did not put them away. So a few minutes later he comes into our room and asks me to hold her while he makes her a bottle, when I look at this poor child she has a one piece outfit that looks like shorts on her, that should be pants and 3/4 sleeves. Now I know exactly what he did, but I asked him anyway, honey where did you get these gammies. He says to me, from the pile of clothes in her crib. Now, this is where the Come On -Really part comes in. It had not been 5 minutes since he had asked where her gammies were and yet he still could not remember what I had told him. You see the clothes in her crib where the newborn clothes that I had just cleaned out of her drawers since they do not fit her anymore. So after he tells me where he got them from I decided to just keep my mouth shut, because at this point I really don't know if I should just feel sorry for him or what. Then the second incident happened yesterday. We were meeting at Lowes and he calls me wanting to know how far away I am, when I tell him he sounds a bit upset so I asked what his problem is. He tells me he needs to go to the bathroom. My response, well then go, but he has Campbell with him. He says I cant go because I have Campbell, my response? You guessed it Come On -Really? I said honey its very easy you just pick up her car seat go into a stall, set her down, and go to the bathroom. But oh no he could not do this it was either to difficult or a man thing, I don't know which and I wasn't about to ask. So long story short it is amazing to me how women are expected to do so much, and the fact that we do do so much. We are resourceful and if we have to go to the bathroom with 3 children in hand we will figure out a way, but a man has a nervous breakdown with one.

Prestons 5th Birthday

Preston, Baileys cousin, turned 5 on December 4th. He had his party at Pump It Up, where they have all these big inflatable slides and things. The kids had a great time, they were completely worn out by the end of the party. They had a big thrown for the birthday boy to open his presents on, but of course Bailey had to sit in it to. The other picture of her on the floor is actually her laughing. It was so hard to get good pictures the kids wouldn't stand still and my camera wouldn't work fast enough. When Preston went to have his picture taken with his cake he insisted that his dad be in the picture to, it was so cute. The picture with all the heads is the heard of children watching Preston open his presents. It was hilarious when you stepped back and looked at all these kids going crazy over toys.

Campbell

I was so busy updating you on our lives in the last post that I forgot to update everyone on Campbell. She is changing so much, we go Thursday for our 2 month check-up. She is smiling so much now, and its not just gas but actually smiles because we made her happy. We are getting somewhat of a schedule down. She is napping really well in her swing right now during the day, she will actually sleep for about 2 hours there. Usually she cat naps during the day, but that is ok because she is sleeping great at night. She is usually down by 10:00pm and sleeps between 4-5am. She will eat and sleep again until 7:30 or 8:00, so we are definitely happy with that arrangement. She is sleeping in her pack-n-play in our room, putting her on the other side of the house just isn't an option right now. She is eating 4 ozs at a feeding and she likes to eat. But all in all she is a great baby. Cries when she wants something and is otherwise pretty content just having someone around. I promise to try harder to keep things updated but I'm not making any promises with Christmas coming. Oh, and I am in the process of planning a very special birthday party for a very special soon to be 5 year old girl.

2 Months Old

Campbell was two months old on November 28th. I have been so busy that I haven't posted anything in the past few weeks so this is a combo blog of 8 and 9 weeks and 2 months. Even though I haven't been blogging I have been snappin pictures. We had a great Thanksgiving although we did alot of traveling. We started in Warner, headed to Okmulgee and then rounded the whole thing up with a quick visit to Bristow. Now don't get me wrong I cant complain about the whole day, the trip to Bristow was to drop Bailey off to spend the night at grandma's, a great ending to any day. I do have some pictures but they are on our new camera and I haven't figured out how to download those yet. But really there isn't much to show since Campbell slept the whole day, and I mean the whole day. I think she had a turkey comma minus the turkey. Bailey chased chickens in Warner on Thanksgiving, yes real live ones, we were way out in the boonies. But moving on we have been busy putting up Christmas trees and decorations, that always keeps me busy for a few days. I have officially returned to work and I have decided to pick up extra hours to help things out, because we can all guess what the car business is like right now. But we are surviving, working a few evenings a week and Wednesdays while Tim is home. All and all things are good, we are so looking forward to our first Christmas as a family of four.
