it's really hard to believe that 6 short weeks ago......charlie had just arrived and was only 12 hours old at this time! it's amazing to me that such a little person can change your life in ways that you never thought possible. little charlie is about 12 pounds and growing. he has changed so much since he was born, saying only a few words and starting to walk........HA!! no, but he is more alert (a good thing when you have time to kill.....not so great at 3 a.m. when he's ready to party) but holding his head up, smiling a little (i know it can't be gas, he knows me), and eating like a horse! much to my dismay, i had to give up the breast feeding thing.......but i do pump every 3 hours, and he takes a breast milk bottle. i feel like i should be out in the front yard on all fours chewing on some cud like a cow at times, but i don't mind it at all.....as long as he stays healthy and strong!
i took little charlie to work with me a few times, and he did just great! i was a nervous wreck as to how he would behave, would he cry, would he eat, but he fit right in with the old folks! sleeping, pooping and hanging out just like he was one of them!
his sleeping is decent! he goes to bed at around 9 p.m., and wakes up at 2:30 to eat.....Chris and i take turns at that feeding, and then he's up again around 6:30-7:30 a.m. sometimes i grab him and put him in the bed with us to cuddle, and it's one of my most favorite times with him. he is a snuggler for sure!
well, the little man is fast asleep, and i should be as well! we are working on a video of pictures and highlights from his time here on earth.........so stay tuned for that!!
love,
katie
