Campbell is just too cute. I have five loads of laundry to fold, a kitchen full of dirty dishes, and bathrooms that need scrubbing. I myself could use a nap, but while the kids nap today, I really want to write down a few things about my cute #2.
Cam is a master of facial expressions. A common response from people when she looks at them is, "I feel like she is searching my soul!" She gives this deep, concerned stare, which shakes people to the core. But whenever she sees Mama, she erupts into a full-face smile, it's like she's trying to smile big enough to swallow me. She has a bored look, a surprised look, a "what'd you do that for?" look, and a, "what a bunch of quacks!" look.
Campbell, like most young ones, fights sleep. And when she's really really tired, and all nice and relaxed, swaddled, pacified, fed--you know, conditions are perfect--but she still doesn't want to sleep, she does this funny thing...it's like a tired coo that lasts about ten to fifteen minutes. She'll even do it after her eyes close. It is so cute. It cracks me up. And then finally she'll give in and sleep.
Campbell is jumpy. Peek-a-boo startles her so, and then she gives the, "what'd you do that for?" look.
Campbell loves TV. Bad parenting? I guess so. I don't just let her watch it, but when it's on, she'll stay mesmerized for as long as the rest of us.
Cam has had extremely good head control for a rather long time. She uses that to give people dirty looks and to watch TV.
In Campbell's nearly 14 weeks, she's done some travelling: Born in the Bay Area, road trip to LA at two weeks, road trip to Utah at three weeks, flight to Chicago at four weeks, and now that we're in Chicago, she's pretty much never left the city, but she's been on countless bus and train rides, and walks around the city. She's been so adaptable considering.
Campbell had a colicky stage that nearly drove me nuts. It was just during the time when we were in a brand-new place but our furniture hadn't arrived, so my options were to walk around with her or sit on the radiator box (which is where I fed her), until Robyn lent me her rocking chair (bless your soul). I still just can't figure her out in the evenings, but she doesn't cry unconsoleably for hours anymore.
Campbell looks a lot like Cadence, but unlike Cadence, at three months we still can't figure out what color her eyes are. Maybe blue, but not exactly...could still go green or brown...come on! Also, her (eensy-weensy) hair is darker than Cadence's was. And I think there eyes are different shapes, but not everybody agrees.
I love you Campbell and I'm excited to watch you go through each new stage of your life (even the terrible two's--a little shout out to my two-year-old homie). You and your sister are infinitely precious to me.
-Mom.

How fun, Mardee. I love Campell's leg warmers. So cute! Where'd you get them?
I can't believe how fast they grow. You need to get back up here before she's all grown up!
Hope you're doing well.

campbell has legwarmers! and yes my heart melted when i saw that picture. i cant wait to see you guys!
I just caught up on all of your blogs. I've been a bad blog reader. Here is my condensed comment:
I like Campbell's leg warmers. I always wondered how to rock them. She looks good in them.
Good dedication post. Jude is still fussy at random times of day, but it often has to do with what I've eaten (which is a curse). I'm glad Campbell has improved her attitude overall.
Where did you find Spencer's wig, day of? Well excecuted. I don't understand how the Bee fits in.
I like your retro blue jacket vest.
That is all. You are on my sidebar.
