Happy 3rd Birthday to our sweet boy! We are so blessed to be your parents and love
you so much!!! Here is what’s happening
with you at 3 years old.
• No change here…you’re still a really long lean guy! At your doctor visit today, you were 42 inches
(99%) and 36.6 pounds (89%). They also
checked your vision and hearing; you passed both!
• Camden wears 3T shorts, 4T tops and pants, and 5T pjs. Sometimes it is pretty tough to fit your long
body! You wear a size 10 in shoes.
•You continue to be a fabulous nighttime sleeper! You sleep from about 8:30 pm to 8:00 am every
night and we never hear a peep! You moved into a big boy bed shortly
after your 2nd birthday and do an amazing job staying in bed. You always wait until Mama or Daddy comes to
get you before you get out in the mornings.
Mama got nervous because you had a streak of several no nap days, but
you are being consistent again! You go
down around 2:30 and sleep 1.5-2 hours.
You sleep with your Nebraska blanket, Mickey Mouse, Mr. Penguin, and Mr.
Dog. You are your mother’s son in that
there is an exact science to the bedtime routine and to how your pillows and stuffed
animals are arranged! We still use a
sound machine at night and you were never bothered by little sister crying when
she was younger.
• We potty trained when you were 26 months and you’ve done
great! You’re such a big boy in this
area and it has been really nice to only have 1 child in diapers.
• You’re a pretty good eater and love to have “snacks” as you
say! Some of your favorite foods are:
whole grain waffles, cereal,
blackberries, strawberries, smoothies, cheese, hot dogs, chicken nuggets,
pizza, tomatoes, and cucumbers; although today at the doctor you said your
favorite food was steak. Not sure where
that came from!
• Cam has Mama's eyes, hair and skin color with Daddy's
features. He has 20 teeth and usually bruises all over from his
adventures. He is all boy! We also
get told ALL the time how much Halle looks like him.
• Our little guy is very social! He
makes friends wherever we go and walks up to strangers and introduces
himself. Love this about him! We may have to address stranger danger soon
though.
• Camden is quite the chatterbox! He talks nonstop and has also picked up an
East Texas accent! So funny!
• I love that you have become a great balance of active and cuddler. You are a very affectionate boy which Mama loves
(and Daddy too), but also are very busy!
• Camden loves to stay busy! He has done
great at MDO 2 days a week and loves to stay busy on our other days. As soon as he wakes up, he asks where we’re
going for the day and which friends he’ll see.
• His overall behavior is pretty good and he almost always
follows directions the first time. We do have to address being
whiney. Time outs usually deter him, but
we have had to spank a hand full of times.
H is quick to say sorry when he makes a sad choice and I feel like I can
see the lessons sinking in.
• He is a little sponge and loves learning! We try to use Halle’s morning
naptime as learning time. Cam can identify
all his letters and know all the sounds, knows most of his numbers, can spell
his name, writes a few letters, and lots of other things that amaze me!
Of course, I am supposed to be the proud Mama!
• He loves to sing! He can entertain
himself for quite some time singing! He
even frequently puts on concerts for his cars or dinosaurs.
• Some of his favorite things right now are: SPORTS..any
kind...he loves to play and watch, cars and trucks, trains, dinosaurs, crafts, bubbles,
music, helping Daddy "fix" things, Dinosaur Train, Chuck the Truck, Leap Frog videos, giving hugs, taking showers,
reading books, and pretending.
• He is such a great big brother! Halle
absolutely ADORES him! We were so
thankful to how smoothly he adjusted to not being an only child.
