Cambria is 3 months old!!! We really seem to be getting into a routine and she is discovering new things every day. Here are some "milestones" from this month:
-Bedtime routine - we have one now! We usually start about 6:30 with bathtime then PJ's and a feeding. We finish up with prayers and she is usually in her crib by 7:15. Some nights she will cry and others not so much. When she does cry we let her do it for about 10 minutes then giver her a pacifier and she's out. She will sleep 4-7 hours after that. Toward the end of this month she's been pretty consistent with the 7 hours and usually only wakes up once (around 3 am) for a feeding. She wakes up between 7 and 8 in the morning so happy!!! On October 16th she was asleep by 7:30 and didn't wake up until 6:00!
-Talking - she is talking so much more! She likes to lay in her pack and play and "talk" to the hedgehog mobile. Her bouncer/swing also has little Minnie Mouses above her and she loves to sit in there and smile and talk to them. She will turn her head and upper body to face them. It's hilarious! She is now carrying on little "conversations" with us. She is most talkative first thing in the morning and when Vince gets home from work.
-Tummy time and rolling - she still has mixed feelings about tummy time but is holding her head up more and starting to push up, especially when she is on the changing table or in the Boppy pillow. She also likes it more when we read books. About halfway through the month Cambria began rolling to her sides. She now likes to sleep on her side (especially the left) and will work to get comfy once she goes down for the night. On October 23rd we woke up to her asleep on her tummy! That same day I watched her roll from back to tummy twice. She hasn't done it since but she loves chilling on her side.
-Feeding - hasn't changed much. She still eats every 2.5-3.5 hours during the day and goes much longer at nights. She's not a huge fan of bottles but will take them if she has to. She's also starting to eat longer during her last feeding before bed which seems to help her sleep longer. We think she's about 12 pounds now.
-Other stuff - She's getting more used to sitting in the bouncer and watching me cook or get ready in the morning. She is really focusing on things - books, people, some toys, Mack, etc. Her favorite book is "Peek a Who" and she likes to make the "ooo" noise! Cambria is really interested in her hands and starting to suck on her fingers more. She loves the cooler weather and going on walks. When we walk with her in a carrier she is super attentive at first and then usually falls asleep by the end which is a nice trick to know. Her eyes are still looking blue and have continued to get a bit lighter. Her hair is getting longer and still seems to be sort of strawberry blonde to auburn brown.
This month has been a busy one but Cambria seems to be so adaptable and we are incredibly aware of how blessed we are to have such an easy baby. God has been so faithful and we are so in love!!!

| 3 months! |

| I tried to take the pictures when Vince was at work but could not get smiles out of her - the camera was too distracting. |
 |
| We tried some more when Vince got home and Mack had to help too |
 |
| Of course she smiled when the boys were helping. Here she is smiling at Mack. |
