Camden { 3-4 } months old

Camden is {4} months old and like every month that goes by, we can't believe how fast time flies. Camden has started to show a lot of personality this month ( and some attitude)...must be something that comes along with {4} months! He can be completely happy one minute and the next screaming...he knows what he wants when he wants it...I guess :)

Here is a recap of the first "quarter" of his little life...I don't think he changed much in looks from {3}- {4} months..except for adding a few more rolls to that cute little body! 

At {4} months, Camden...

* is almost rolling over. He's almost there...he just needs to figure out how to get the other arm out from underneath him. We first discovered he was learning how to do this when we walked into his room after a nap and he was on his stomach. 

* took his first road trip all the way to California! He actually did pretty good for such a long drive. He also had his first visit to Disneyland and the San Diego Zoo. 

  

 

 * talks and talks and talks...there are days he will on his activity mat and tell stories for an hour.

*is loving his Bumbo now...even though towards the end of this month he started turning side ways in it and pushing himself out! OH BOY!

 

* is sleeping about 10- 12 hours a night now. His sleeping schedule is a lot like it has been...he goes down at 10:00pm. Wakes up at 6:00am to eat, and goes back down for another 2-4 hours. 

* has decided that after he eats at 6:00am, he'd rather go back to bed in mom and dad's bed...which is totally fine with mommy :) Dad leaves for work; so Charlie, Camden, and I get our snuggle on. I LOVE IT!

 

*has started to put anything and everything in his mouth. He still loves his hands the best, but he has started to now suck on his teething toys...time to buy a Sophie!

* loves to sit up. We put him in between our legs because he obviously can't sit up by himself, but it gives him enough independence and balance. Speaking of independence...

 

* decided he would like to try and hold his own bottle while getting fed. He does this every time we feed him. There are sometimes we have to tuck those little hands down in a blanket because otherwise the milk ends up all over his face! Those hands...they like to be a part of everything :)

 

 

* had his very first cold...broke my heart! You could tell the poor little guy didn't feel good. The third night was the worst and he ended up sleeping in mom and dad's room. The next day we visited to doctor just to be safe and they gave us the best snot sucker ever! It has helped him be able to breath really well. After lots of cuddling, snot sucking, and the humidifier running full blast he is feeling so much better. This little boy has a very strong immune system and let that cold know who was boss!  

* still doesn't love his car seat...and I am not sure he ever will or probably not until he is facing forward.

* will grab anything you put in front of him 

* knows when John or I leave the room. He will follow you with his eyes as you leave and then cry. He wants to be wherever we are...at all times :) 

* is sorta picking and choosing who he wants to hold him. When people are holding him he will look around the room for John or myself. If he can't see us, he starts to get a little fussy...this is very cute because he knows who we are, but we also want him to be able to go to other people and not be scared.

*  is finally loving tummy time again. He scoots around in circles and it's the cutest thing. He is also holding his head up very well.

 

* smiles whenever you say "hi" or "hello" to him...he absolutely loves when dad gets home from work! John always gets the biggest grins. 

*  is loving bath time still. We have started to spend a lot more time in the tub at night. We used to get him in and he would just sit there, so we would wash him and get him out. Now he loves to splash and play with the bubbles. He would stay in there all night if he could. 

Camden this past month has gone by so quickly! You are chunking up so much and are getting more and more rolls everyday! It's the cutest thing! I have always dreamed about having cute, chunky babies and I definitely got the cutest thing ever. You have definitely become more voice tress this month (both cooing and crying :) You know what you want, but mom and dad don't always do...please be patient with us. We are learning everyday. Sometimes you just want to be held and cuddled...we love these little moments. 

The other night dad finished feeding you before it was time to go to bed. Instead of being out of it and ready for bed like you usually are, you were all smiles and making tons of noise... you were loving it and so were we. We sat in your room as a family and truly soaked up every moment of this time together. I will forever remember it because it is honestly just as I have imagined my life. We love you so much! Happy {4} months baby boy.
