Charlie is SIX months!

How has half a year already come and gone?!  It has been the fastest and the slowest six months at the same time.... Oh, this is the BEST age!  Happy half Birthday Charlie!

New this month:

-You hold your own bottle!  This is nice that you can feed yourself, so Lucy doesn't get in too much trouble... Bless your heart with such a wild sister!
-You are starting to sit up, but not 100% yet.  You have face planted a few times... sorry Charlie!
-Nothing is safe around you!  You reach for everything in sight!  But, I love this because you reach for your mama's face and give the BEST kisses!
-You can role all over, but still choose to just hang out on your back!
-You are still swaddled!
-You are getting more and more content between eatings.  For the most part you only cry when you are hungry or sleepy.
-You are on a great little schedule of Eat, Play, Sleep (we live by Baby Wise in our house).  You are eating 7 bottles a day with a nap between each bottle.  You are eating around 42oz a day, which your big sister never ate more than 25oz.  You are quite the piggy!
-You tried sweet potatoes for the first time and LOVED them!
-You are still Mr. Drooly, but no teeth!
-You can clear a room with your toots and poops.
-Your poops smell like nursing home mixed with bad breath and well... poop. IT IS SO BAD.

 We really don't think you can get any more handsome!  You are in a size 3 diaper and a 6-9 month outfit.

 You LOVE your toes

Goodness I am smitten over you!

Here are your stats:

Charlie is FIVE months!

Charlie!  Goodness you are 5 months old! You are one little bundle of JOY!  

New this month:

-You love to eat!  We have fully switched to formula and let's just say, you have VERY expensive taste.  But, thank the good LORD for Becky at our Doctor's Office who gives us the hook up!

-We are so thankful for gas drops, zantac, and prevacid. (<-All reflux meds) SO thankful these help you get comfortable!  It is the worse feeling to know there is nothing we can do to help your tummy.

-You still make the cutest little grunts and raspy noises because of your floppy cartilage in your larynx.

-YOU ARE SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT!

-You are more and more predictable which is making it easier to run errands around town!

-You love your Jonny Jump up and activity center.  We have banished the activity center because your big sister broke her leg in it this month

-You drool more than any creature.  But, still no teeth! 

-There is always something coming out of your mouth, either drool or spit up!  Bless....

Happy 5 months of life little buddy!  You are so loved by your mama, your daddy, and your big sister!  We pray that you come to know Jesus in a real way at a young age!  Praying for comfort for your little tummy!  LOVE YOU Chuck!
