We survived the second week back to work and daycare.  My morning routine is getting a bit easier and I have mastered getting to daycare by 7:02am.  Cami's sleep is still all over the place.  She slept through the night two nights last week, however the other nights she would get up and stay up for at least an hour.  She's still a bit congested so I'm hoping once that clears up she'll go back to her normal schedule.  Fingers crossed!


Developmentally this week Cami has started to grab things.  She's not really reaching and grabbing however when I set a toy on her lap she will hold it and move it around.  A few things she even brought up to her mouth.


This weekend we went to Ella's first birthday party.  Cami was very content sitting on my lap and observing all the other kids playing around.  This is what I think she does at daycare.  It will be fun to watch her get bigger and be able to start interacting with the other kids.

This last week has felt so long!  Cami started daycare on Monday.  So far she seems to be doing very well.  Ally and Nikki feel more like friends than daycare instructors so it’s made it a lot easier to drop her off.  I typically nurse Cami around 6 am before leaving and then she gets 3 4 oz. bottles during the day – around 9am, 12pm and 3pm.  This schedule has been working for us so far.

This past week Cami’s sleep has been unpredictable.  I’m not sure what the main cause is – but I’m leaning towards gas.  She will wake up around 3am crying but not hungry.  I usually bounce her on my shoulder some or rock her while rubbing her tummy until she calms down.  Then it’s a waiting game to get her to fall back asleep.  If I lay her in her crib too early, she immediately starts crying again.  I end up being up with her for about an hour.  Hopefully it’s just a phase…

Work has been an adjustment.  We’re used to working 6:30 – 3:30 but are now working 7:30 – 4:30 since we drop Cami off at 7:00.  By the time we get off, pick up Cami and get home – it’s time to start dinner.  Before you know it, it’s dark out and past 7pm.   I guess we'll eventually get into a routing and it will get easier.

Cami has really been enjoying her hands this week.  She loves to chew and suck her fist and thumbs.  I swear sometimes I think she can fit her whole fist in her mouth!  It seems to entertain her for a bit.

It's been a pretty quiet week around here.  We spent Monday recovering from Christmas and the next few days hanging out with Uncle Danny and Jade before they went back to Texas.  On Tuesday we got a big group together to go to Willow Tree Cafe, a festive German restaurant in Sanford.  This was probably the longest I had left Cami for -  almost 4 hours, or two bottles.  She did well though and only was a little fussy for Grandma Judy.


Cami's eating pattern is becoming more predictable.  She usually can make it about 3 hours.  About an hour to hour and a half after eating she has a 10-15 minute fussy period.  She calms down A LOT when you walk outside with her.  It's rather amusing.  On Wednesday we went out to dinner with her and family.  When we were close to done eating, Cami started getting fussy so I took her outside.  It was pretty cold out but as soon as I opened the door she calmed down.  I brought her back inside and two minutes later she started crying again.  Bryan took her back out and she was immediately fine again.  Silly Cami.


For New Year's Eve we were invited out to dinner and over to our neighbor's house to celebrate 2012, however we couldn't find an available babysitter.  Instead we went to Mellow Mushroom the three of us and hung out at home for a bit.  Cami went to bed a little after 10 pm and I went shortly after.  I was exhausted and there was no way I was making it till midnight!  Bryan went to the neighbor's for a bit but came home at midnight to wish me a Happy New Year. :)  


Today is my last day home - back to work tomorrow!  It's been nice being home the past 11 weeks, but I think I'm ready to head back.  It will be nice to have a normal schedule and more adult interaction.  I know Cami will be well taken care of at the daycare providers we chose.  I'm glad we decided to do an in home daycare.  It feels like we're just leaving her at a babysitters or a friends house instead of scary daycare facility.  Hopefully she adjusts well and enjoys making some friends in the future!

Feeding Schedule:  ~6-8 x's per day

The biggest change this week is Cami's feeding schedule.  Per the recommendation of her pediatrician at her two month appointment I began feeding Cami from both breasts each nursing session instead of just one.  She eats for a little longer, but will now go at least 2 hours between feedings.  Most of the time she'll go 2.5 - 3 hours. With this new 'schedule', she has been nursing only 6 times per day.  I think some of this can be attributed to her growth slowing down now that she is over two months old.  

Cami doesn't really have a set schedule during the day, however she has been consistently going to bed between 9:30 and 10:30 then waking up anywhere from 6:00 to 8:30.  She naps on and off during the day - usually in her bouncy seat or swing.  I think once she starts daycare, she might develop more of a daytime schedule.

This weekend we celebrated Christmas.  It was a busy two days but we survived Cami's first Christmas.  :)  Christmas night she had her longest night of sleep - 11 hours!  Christmas Day was a LONG day for us and Cami didn't get too many naps so by the time 9:00pm rolled around I could tell she was EXHAUSTED.  She was so tired that it took a while to calm her down from crying to nurse before going to sleep.

This is my last week before going back to work!  Bryan is off work as well so we'll just be relaxing until 2012!

Special Outings:  Mother & Baby Tea 12/12;  Mother & Baby Talk 12/16

It’s officially been 3 weeks of Cami sleeping through the night.  I feel like it’s safe to say this is now her routine and will hopefully only change if she’s not feeling well or going through a growth spurt.  ::KNOCK ON WOOD::

I went to my normal tea on Monday, however it was our last one!  Tea is meant for babies through 8 weeks so we graduated and have moved on to the talk on Friday’s which is for babies 8-16 weeks.  It was fun to see all the older babies.

Cami has become a lot more interested in her hands this week.  She is constantly sticking them in her mouth.  Sometimes it looks like she's trying to fit her whole fist in there.

We went out to dinner on Friday night with Cami.  She was awake the entire time of dinner but was perfectly content hanging out in her car seat.  She didn’t make a sound.  We also took Cami to a Christmas party on Saturday and it turned into a game of pass the baby around.  She was very well behaved and everyone was impressed with how ‘good’ of a baby she was.

We are all looking forward to Cami’s first Christmas!  I can’t believe it’s almost 2012.  Time is flying.

We had Cameron’s 2 month checkup on Thursday (12/15). Dr. Silverman said she is “growing like a weed!” She’s currently in the 90th percentile for her length – if she keeps growing at that rate we’ll have a tall girl on our hands! Her weight is around the 70th percentile so she is long and lean. She definitely has mommy’s small head measuring at the 50th percentile.

We also got Cameron’s first set of vaccinations. They gave her 4 shots and one oral vaccine. The nurse was really good and quickly gave Cami two shots in one thigh followed by two shots in her other thigh. As soon as she was done I picked her up and cuddled with her. She did REALLY well and only cried for maybe a minute. We loaded her up in the car seat and she was passed out within 10 minutes. She slept A LOT throughout the day. She was a little bit fussy when her Tylenol dose would wear off so I continued that for 24 hours. By the next day she seemed ok and didn’t show any signs of soreness where she had the shots.

We obviously have been taking Cami out a lot with us but it will be nice to know she is fully vaccinated now and we don’t have to be as cautious about germs.
