Our big boy is three months old today, and it never ceases to amaze us just how fast the time is flying by. Charlie is such a little man these days. He LOVES to smile at everyone, and it is like he knows that the camera is on him every time I take a picture. This has been another busy month for the Shaw Family. Nick, Charlie, and I have been spending lots of time with friends and family, but we have really tried to take the time to enjoy every moment we have when it it just the three of us. This really has been the happiest time for our little family.
Charlie is learning new tricks and hitting milestones every day. He can reach for objects that are held in front of him and even pull them towards his mouth. He has gone from sucking on his whole fist to sucking each individual finger and on occasion, will try to get all five in at one time. This usually results in a very sour face, gagging, and a lot of spit-up for me to clean. Nonetheless, it is great watching him explore the world and discover new things each day. Charlie is getting very strong and can now hold his head very steady without support. It is good to see that he is growing out of the Bobble Head stage. He enjoys sitting in his Bumbo seat and looking around at all of his toys. The babbling has picked up quite a bit. Charlie loves to tell us stories, and he is beginning to imitate the sounds that we make. One of our favorite things to do is lay on a blanket together and chat. I would love to know what he is trying to say! At the doctor last week Charlie weighed in at a hefty 12 lbs, 11 oz. All of his clothes are starting to get tight, and it is probably time to get the 3-6 month clothing ready. Last but not least, Charlie has started sleeping in his crib recently. We started with just naps, but yesterday he spent his first night in the crib. He slept for five hours and then spent the rest of the night in our room. I missed having him right next to me, and I have a feeling this transition is going to be harder for me than it will be for Charlie.
Here are some of out favorite shots from this month. Check out the May albums to see more pictures of the little guy!
