Highlights: Charlie went to the cabin for the first time for Memorial Day Weekend. We picked up Maddie along the way and she was helpful in getting Lucy to fall asleep while Mom was able to continually put the Nuk back in Charlie's mouth to keep him asleep on the rest of the drive north. Charlie also went to his first state track meet to cheer on Maddie and Johnny (he of course slept most of the time).
Changes: Instead of the constant "caveman" grunts, Charlie is starting to have cute little coos and goos. He is starting to get onto a predictable schedule in terms of awake periods and naps. His head control is improving when sitting up and being carried and he feels more durable in general. He is starting to take a bottle with a little bit more ease, but he gets rusty when we don't practice on a regular basis.
Sleep: A 4 hour stretch of time is a bad night now, and the record is 7 hours! Charlie goes to bed between 8:30 and 9. He's usually up for the day by 7 and spends the first 1-2 hours of the morning kicking happily and staring at things like fans and curtain rods. He cat naps here and there throughout the morning but does a monster afternoon nap from 1:30-4. Both Mom and Dad recall how hard we had to work with getting Lucy to sleep at night (but once asleep she was a champ). Charlie is easy to set down awake and so far he's a decent self-soother. Fingers crossed that this will continue.

| Would we call this a tummy time failure or success? Charlie loves being on his belly and will even fall asleep there. |
