Bargain

Charlie would like everyone to know he's running a special today. Free Hugs!!

Rolling Around

Charlie rolls from his stomach to his back all the time now. We finally caught it on video.

No Time to Lounge

Charlie is a very busy guy with no time to waste lounging around. He always wants to be sitting up now and he's getting very good at holding up his head when he is!

Four Months

Visiting G.G. at Sunrise

Seeing his first fish tank at Bergen Town Center

Charlie had his 4 month check up yesterday. He now weighs 14 lb and 5 oz. which puts him in the 45th percentile for weight. He is 25 inches long which puts him in the 50th percentile for length. Charlie had a few choice words for sleep training, but this is a family blog so we can't print what he thought of it here. We have put that on hold for now and will try again when he is a little older. This means we wake up with him anywhere from 4-8 times a night. If you think that sounds like fun please come sleep over anytime and join us! He's been doing very well at "school" which makes me happy since I go back to work in 6 days! This maternity leave flew by, but it will be nice to see all my students and get back into a routine again.

Our Little Leprechaun

Charlie spread his St. Patrick's Day cheer on Thursday visiting the teachers at mommy's school, going to Nana's house and then to Poppop's house for dinner. He was a very busy little leprechaun and finally passed out. I hope there wasn't any green beer in that bottle!

Jumping Bean

Charlie's too little for his feet to reach the ground in his rainforest jumperoo, but all he needs is a pillow under him and away he goes!

Last Night

Between Charlie being sick, his mommy being sick, and finding over an inch of water in our basement yesterday morning, it has not been a great weekend. But last night Charlie had an exciting first. He rolled over from his back to his tummy in his crib! Daddy watched the whole thing on the monitor. Unfortunately mommy missed it. Two weeks ago he rolled from tummy to back so now he can go both ways. He will start his second week at daycare tomorrow too. Charlie is doing a good job at daycare, taking his bottles, taking his naps and not terrorizing any other babies in the infant room. We have started sleep training him this week and have stopped using the pacifier making this a tiring week. He is doing well with it though, only waking up twice last night and both times were for feedings, not for soothing. Good job Charlie Bear!

First Day

Charlie started daycare today at the YMCA. There were a lot of tears dropping him off....however I was the only one crying. Charlie was peaceful and I know that Kathy will take great care of him in the infant room. He also went to the doctor this morning and we found out that his ear infection is all cleared up. That was great to hear. Now let's just hope he stays healthy!
