Charlie Week 4

Highlights: Charlie and Mom took their first road trip together to visit Abbey in Madison.  He made it the whole way to Madison and we had to stop once on the way home.  As long as the car is in motion, he seems to be happy.  Mom entered a living nightmare when there was stop and go traffic with interstate construction as Charlie starting wailing in protest.  Luckily the construction was short-lived.  

Changes:  Charlie continues to be more alert.  He has a longer period of wakefulness around noon and again in the evening.  Isaac continues to work on bottle feeding and is doing well with this.  Mom even got away for a dinner gathering without Charlie!  He also seems to be just starting to have social smiles.  Another major change is that he is fitting into 3 month clothing.  Yikes!  Most of the newborn stuff still fits but his torso length is starting to max the items out.  

Sleep:  Every 3rd night or so we are getting one 4 hour stretch!  (That feels amazing.  Mom doesn't even get crabby during the diaper change after that amount of rest).  Most of the time we are continuing with the ever 2 hours trend though.

Taking a snooze on Grandpa Pischke's sun porch.  Look at those cheeks starting to fill out!

Mom, Charlie and Sully always go out for a walk on the nice days.  The marsh trails are our favorite lately.

Starting to get smiley when we make fools out of ourselves.
