Three Weeks

Charlie is three weeks old today, and yesterday we had a checkup at the doctor's office. He likes to eat, so it was no surprise that he has gained almost a pound and a half in the past 10 days.  He's up to 8 pounds, 12 ounces.  He still measures 21.5 inches - his length at our one week appointment.  But I can tell from the fit of his onesies that his trunk is longer.  But I am so pleased to report that he is growing and progressing perfectly!

When Charlie was a week old, Mama and I decided to take a few pictures in a more formal manner.  Here are some of my favorites:

His lip quiver will melt your heart

Lullabelle making sure he is okay

His drunken sailor look

His smile at one of Marc's old toys - I love it!

For Marc - Go Bucks!

Snoozin' and Wakin' Up

Charlie and Papa Kirby

Baby's First Bath

He wasn't really a fan.

I Love My Little Charlie-Man

Sandy has been a bit out of it - and at times we aren't even sure she knows Charlie is here. But Lullabelle is DEFINITELY aware. She has become the ultimate Charlie watchdog.


Lullabelle follows Charlie where ever we take him. And if he starts to cry, she runs to be the first by his side. She even wants to stand on her back legs and watch as we change his diaper to make sure we aren't hurting him.

During feedings, she is on the bed next to me and when Charlie is in the crib/cradle/being rocked, LB is laying on the floor next to him.

And at night, she is sleeping as little as we are. She will lay in our bed and just watch Charlie sleep in the bassinet.
