Charlie is FOUR months!

4 months down! Goodness you are getting so grown Charlie! You are the hungriest little human with your long eye lashes and long hair, let's just say you already have me wrapped around your little slobbery finger! Yes, slobber! A lot of it! No teeth yet, but I think you are definitely working on them! So, I don't know if it's the tummy ache or the teeth... but buddy you don't like to sleep long! This mama of yours is ready for those beloved 12 hour stretches at night! Right now you are still eating every 2 hours and sleeping maybe a 7 hour stretch at night! 

You love:
-standing up!
-your paci
-being swaddled
-gas drops
-laying on your back and looking at your activity center 
-snuggling your daddy
-looking at your mama
-eating!








Your big sister is smitten over you! I am so thankful Little Lucy hasn't been jealous of all the extra love and attention you get! She loves bouncing her babies along with us as we bounce you! She loves singing "ballgame" and "happy birthday" when you are sad! She will say, "Charlie needs paci" or "Charlie needs bottle!" Lucy, you are such a sweet little mama!



You are fascinated by your toes little buddy! You haven't quite figured out how to put them in your mouth!

Charlie is TWO months!

Happy 2 months of life Charlie! Oh we love this gummy smile with your raspy voice! This month has been a fun month of this smile, we definitely prefer it to you crying when you or hungry/sleepy/tummy ache! Charlie, you are so precious with your big blue eyes and trendy hair style! Your mama loves kissing you! Your daddy loves going on walks with you! Your sister loves making sure you have your paci or every toy in the house in your swing! Speaking of swing... we don't know what we would do with out the beloved swing!

Letter to Charlie: 

Dear Charlie,

I still can't believe you are mine!! Oh what a privilege it is to be your mama! I love holding you and thinking that one day a long time from now I will be looking up to you! It is an honor that I get to be the one to feed, rock, and kiss your little tears goodbye! I love you oh so much Charlie!
