A Month with Charlie

Welp, we survived one month as a family of four!  Believe us, it wasn't without its challenges.  Having a crying child who doesn't communicate with you is exhausting...plus we have a newborn!  Okay okay, we should cut Olivia some slack - she loves Charlie dearly, but our house has had a lot more drama lately than we need.  We all cope with new situations differently...?  But we all love having Charlie in our family.

Charlie loooooves him some sleep.  He still wakes up in the night to eat, but is getting better at going longer stretches (and his mother thanks him!).

He is starting to get some delicious baby rolls!

We are starting to venture out of the house a little bit more, and Charlie is a very good sport.  Here he is going on his first walk :)

He has even gone to the park a few times.

Picnic time!

When he is awake, he tolerates tummy time...

...and patiently watches Olivia play, counting down the days til he can join her!

We have had lots of talks with Olivia about how she can't leave little toys like Legos out once Charlie starts moving.  She like to remind/lecture us on the topic, too.

Charlie officially turned one month old on August 25th!  

We always called this set of clothes his  "old man" outfit.  Charlie decided to take it to a whole new retirement level by adding socks and sandals to the ensemble.

What a handsome devil!

The day before he turned one month old, our friend Joanna came over and took newborn photos.  Charlie was such a patient little guy, and we love how sweet he (and Olivia) looks in them!
