3 Months

Camree at 3 months. I know that by now she's almost 4 months old, but she's not there yet!



Cute dress. Twins with cousin Tacey!



Doing sit-ups. She's growing so fast!! I'll find her sleeping in her carseat after running errands with me, and she's slumped over because she leaned forward.



Not fond of tummy time, but I encourage (make) her every day so she can hold her head up and crawl eventually.


Lounging in her Bumbo. I love this chair!! We sit her in it up on the table (watched closely) while we eat so she is a part of our conversations at mealtimes. She loves it for about 15 minutes and then she's tired. She still had cradle cap in this picture. We learned that socks stay on much better than mittens, and they keep her from scratching her head (she's good) and drawing blood. She only has a little lingering cradle cap at the crown of her head.



Frustrations I have had so far: Cradle cap. Not pretty, but not terrible either. I got so frustrated because of the many contradictory information that is out there. Friends, family, internet, doctors. They each have their own way of treating ailments, while we as parents just keep trying one treatment after another. Camree got to the point that she would scratch in the middle of the night, and I woke up to so many scratches on the side of her head that I had had enough! I made an appointment (had many conversations with a nurse in her ped's office prior to this.) and we followed what her doctor said, and we are on the mend. She is so much happier! She has never really been a crier, but we can tell she's much more at ease. Happy baby = happy parents!

I have a fear that the problem of contradictory information will follow us forever now. We just do our homework as best as we can and make a decision based on what we think is best for us and Camree.

At three months, Camree likes:

• To be swaddled
• Her carseat
• To talk and smile
• Talking to her heart/flower blanket in her cradle
• Her Daddy
• Talking when she wakes up
  

Camree dislikes:

• To be cold
• Baths - work in progress, may be related to above dislike!
  

As I write this, I am once again realizing how blessed we are. She really is so pleasant and easy to care for (as well as love). She isn't unhappy with life often, and just adapts easily to what is going on in her busy parent's lives.
