A New Addition to the Family

Charlie's Auntie Vicki just got engaged! Her fiance, Justin, proposed on their trip to Florida last week. This means that we will be welcoming a new member to the family in about a year. Charlie loves his Uncle Justin and Auntie Vicki, and he can't wait for them to give him some cousins to play with! Nick and I are thrilled for the happy couple. We wish them all the best for a wonderful future together!!!

Auntie Dani organized a surprise brunch to welcome Vicki and Justin home on Sunday. Here are some pictures from the brunch.

Grandpa and Charlie are so excited!!!

Happy Family

Play Pals

Charlie had his first play date on Friday. Actually, it was more of a play date for the moms. His friends, Cooper and Collin, came over with their mommies. Kelly and Brooke are former co-workers from Big Creek. Collin, Brooke's son, was born on March 3rd and Cooper, Kelly's son, on March 21st. How crazy is it that all of these boys were born in the same month?!?

There was a lot of napping, eating, and pooping that took place at this first play date. Things should liven up a bit in a few months when everyone becomes more playful. It was nice for the us moms to get some time to talk about the adventures of our little men. Hopefully there will be many more of these play dates in the future.

I wish I had pictures to share, but we all had our hands pretty full. Maybe next time I will be more on top of things.

Happy One Month Birthday!!!

It is hard to believe that one month has already passed! It has been so wonderful getting to know our little man this month. His personality is really starting to come out. We have already discovered that his has a quick temper. There really isn't any whimpering with Charlie. He usually goes into full screaming if he isn't happy. Nick and I have found some creative ways to calm him over the past few weeks. White noise is our new trick. You name it, and we have tried it...the fan, the vacuum, the dryer, the hair dryer! This kid also likes to be on the move. We bounce, sway, rock, and dance him into happiness. Last but not least, we have discovered that he prefers our finger over a pacifier any day! Fussy spells aside, Charlie really is a great baby! He is a fantastic sleeper at night. We average about 4-5 hour stretches. He is also a good eater. I am such a proud momma!

The best part of the last month has been watching him become more and more alert and aware of his surroundings. He will just look into my eyes forever if I am holding him. He tracks his toys if i move them in front of him, and he loves to listen to music. Last week he started discovering his voice. There is a lot of cooing, oohing, and ahhing these days. We also had our first smile last Tuesday. My next mission is to capture it on camera.

Here are some of the most recent pictures of Charlie. It is crazy how big he is getting. His little face, belly, and legs are starting to get pudgy. I love it! His newborn clothes are all too small now, and he is wearing outfits that I thought he would never grow into. I can't wait to see how much he has grown at our two month doctor's visit in May.

I love bath time!

Have you ever seen a cuter duck?

Hey! I am one month old today!!!

I love my puppy, Samson.

Glamour Shots

Charlie had his first professional photo shoot a couple of weeks ago. The pictures are on-line for everyone to view until April 15th. There are over 400 pictures to look at, which is overwhelming even for us. The photographer picked about a dozen of her favorites for you to look at. Take a moment to check out our handsome boy!
