Charlie-4 Months

Wow, time is flying!  Poor 2nd child syndrome; Charlie is only getting a post every month (or less!) instead of the weekly posts that Lucy starred in!

Charlie 4 month stats:  Weight: 15 lbs 5 oz (45.07%)
Length: 25 inches (45.6%)
Head circumference: 16.3 inches (40.2%)


Highlights of the month:  Mom returned to work, and Charlie has been spending time split between hanging out with Dad and learning the ropes with Paula.  He does well, but hasn't gotten onto a  good sleeping schedule at Paula's.  

Sleep:  I have memories of Lucy being a champion sleeper, so when Charlie started waking us up between 2-4 am last week, I was disappointed.  Luckily for the blog, I could look back on the Lucy posts at this age and learned she was doing the same thing!  The bad news is that her wake ups lasted til 6 months... And to add an interesting twist, Lucy got up at 4 am too today!  No household should be awake at that hour unless they are going on vacation *yawn*.

Changes:  Charlie does his coos and squeaks/shrieks lots and holds a conversation with those willing to partake.  His hands are constantly in his mouth which leads to drool everywhere.  We double ply his onesies and do multiple changes a day at times.  Charlie no longer likes laying around to play; he'd rather see the world sitting up.  He has started using the exer-saucer with some creative wood blocks underneath so his feet can touch.



Check out those eye lashes!  Look out ladies.
