Happy Birthday, Charlie!
Christmas Day was Charlie’s 5-month birthday, and he celebrated it by taking lots of naps, lounging in his Granddad’s arms, and “talking” to anyone who would listen (which was pretty much everyone).
Here’s a quick recap of Charlie’s past month:
- You love standing (with support, obv) and jumping. Your legs are getting so much exercise!
- You took your 2nd and 3rd plane flights. I’m sure no one will be surprised when I say that you were PERFECT during both. Not a peep!
- We lost your precious Sophie. Looks like you’ll be getting an after-Christmas present this year.
- You talk and talk and talk... just like your brother! We can’t wait to hear what real word you say first.
- Eye infections are no fun. You had to have antibiotic drops to clear it up, and you also had a pretty yucky cold. Thanks for sharing both with me!
- You are still pretty obsessed with any food in sight; it’s obvious that you really want a taste. I’m curious to see how you do with your first foods. One more month!
- You are a roly-poly baby! Now, you are consistently rolling over, especially when you are trying to get a better view of mom or dad.
- You have some seriously fabulous belly laughs - the best are saved for your brother, but you are getting more generous with the rest of us.
- Sleep is not nearly as awesome when we are on vacation. You are currently waking up every 2-3 hours... which you haven’t done since you were a week old. Crossing my fingers that this gets better once you are back in your own crib. Please?
Sometimes it is still hard to believe that we have a second son, and yet it seems like we’ve had Charlie forever. I wish time would slow down just a tiny little bit, and let me enjoy this infant stage just awhile longer... but I’m excited to see what the next month brings!
