9 Weeks

Campbell is 9 weeks old and changing daily. I saw a girl on an elevator the other day with a little baby that was 4 days old, and I can't believe how much Campbell has already changed in 2 months.

It was a little rough once we returned from Oklahoma because she just wanted to be held all day long since that was what she was used to during our visit. She has become much more content just in the past few days. She is really enjoying her swing and she is even becoming more interested in her Little Einstein play mat. She lays there and looks up at all of the little toys and will accidentally hit them when her arms flail around.

She has been going to bed pretty easily at night, usually between 7 and 8. We have started to put her to bed in her crib and then I bring her to her pack-n-play bassinet after she wakes up for her first bottle during the night. I would love to get her to sleep a little longer at night, but that "dream feed" that the books talk about just hasn't worked for us. I can't get her to drink any more bottle for the life of me when I try to get her up for one last feed around 10 or 11. So...she usually wakes up sometime between 12 and 2 and then every 3 hours after that.

She is really starting to smile, coo, and make the cutest little girly sounds. We like to have conversations with her and really get her going. She has hardly cried at all lately unless she's hungry or she's in her carseat in the car and we stop at a red light. I have to keep making right turns just to keep her quiet!!! We haven't had any more of those hour long screaming fits at night for a while either which has been nice. She just seems more content over all lately which is such a dream! She's just the best little baby :)
