TGIF!!!! Hey everyone! Just wanted to say hello and let you know what we've been up to this week....can't believe it's Friday already....day 6 of our new "adventure" in life with Charlie. Yesterday we had a check up with the public health nurse to see if everything was going OK and to weigh Charlie to see how he's progressing; well....let's just say that once she put him on the scales she pretty much just ran us out of there telling us she has NO worries...he'd gained 7 ozs in 2 days and was back up over his birthweight!!!!! He's sooo advanced - hee!hee! So, just 5 days after birth he's back to 8lbs 6.6ozs. Apparantly he's eating well, which doesn't surprise me as it seems every 15 minutes David's saying "mommy, it's time to eat - the boy's not going to be 6'4" if he doesn't eat!" Then we took him on a little visit to my work and showed him off there - he was well received - of course, he's just way too cute! Last night he slept for 7 hours with only a 30 minute feeding break between - I keep asking him if he's tricking us???

This is his first bath at home photo....he wanted to hold the washcloth, not me! We have a great little "tummy tub" that works wonders! It's like a big "salad bowl" (as his auntie Aly called it) and it's supposed to make babies feel like they're in the womb so they relax more....it worked!!! He settled right in, we got him all cleaned up, wrapped up in one of those cute little hooded towels and then....pffff - he decided to poop! He has impeccable timing!!!

Here we are having an afternoon nap. He's got a favorite blanket already (thanks to Esther and Al!!!) you can see it here....VERY soft with little puppies on it!!!! Sometimes he's just way to adorable to put in his crib and so....well, you know....here we are! I've read that you just CAN'T spoil them in the first few months! David said yesterday: "I think God makes them smell so good so you'll love them more." I agreed! He is truely a little angel and we both feel very blessed.
