Charlie Boy

Sunday, December 16, 2012

We are back by popular demand with a few more pictures. Charlie has continued to grow rapidly ove 13lb now and is probably closer to 14.

Mom and Dad are doing well, Charlie is getting closer and closer to sleeping through the night, and he is keeping us entertained with smiles, giggles and general overwhelming cuteness.

It is amazing how much he has taken over our lives, there is not a minute that goes by that he is not our number 1 thought, we have both turned into the facebook people who do nothing but post pictures of our kid.

Christmas is just around the corner, and we can't wait. Charlie will be 6 months on Christmas Eve. It is really hard to believe that it has been half a year. It has had its moments of fear and overwhelming confusion but he is cute and happy and things always seem better with a little Charlie time.

Santa's coming

Merry Christmas

3 Months In

Charlie Boy has been here for 3 months now we like to say that he is one month in the black.
He is doing ok, but does still have a lot of fussy moments, and digestion problems. A couple of weeks ago Charlie had his first photo shoot. The early release of the pics have turned out great.

Favorite Picture by far!

If you are a regular Charlie Boy Blog follower- I am sorry, I have been slacking on my posts.
Boy Wonder is doing well, still a bit grunty and growing rapidly Over 8.3 lb now, and for whatever reason does not need sleep; chances are he is part of some new world order of babies who are awake 23 hr a day in preparation to take over the world someday.

We had our Baby BBQ/ party last weekend, and had a great time seeing everyone. Charlie's grandparents put on one heck of a party. Unfortunately exhaustion may have taken over because we forgot to take any pictures of the party goers, just a lot of before pictures.

Shoppers Points Rule!

Been a pretty busy week or so for Charlie Boy. Dad went back to work, so Mom and him have been spending some quality time grunting, sleeping and pooping.
Grandma and Grandpa came to babysit overnight, and it sounds like it was quite a slumber party.
Great Grandpa Oldis came up from California to meet him. It was great, 4 generations of Oldis blood in one room really gave a Charlie a sense of his American side.

With the Twins record this year, they could use him

Still a little too small, but a good test run

Here are some new pics. I am not looking forward to going back to work and leaving my boy all day, but he has a supermom, and our family has been amazing.

Grunt,Grunt, Snort, Snuff, Grunt (Charlie speak for "I'm Good)

We hit the 6lb 1oz mark, and am fattening up very well.
It's been a good week, Charlie has become a bit of a nocturnal grunting machine, but is doing great.
There have been lots of visitors over the last little while, and his nursery is 95% complete, but he has not made the move.
It has been great being home over the summer to spend time with him. Having him passed out on my chest has been great.

Could be here all day

Guess who dressed him?

Still going strong

Charlie has been doing well, he is up over 5 lb and continues to eat constantly.
The highlight of the week was having Charlie here for my birthday, it wasn't originally in the plans, but his early arrival and quick progression made for one great gift.
