Week 3... Turkeys and a Date!

Weight:  9 lbs 5oz

Length: We didn't measure you this week- worst parents ever!

Hates:  Sleeping alone in either your bassinet or crib, being swaddled and your carseat.

Loves:  Sleeping on Mommy & Daddy, cuddling , crying , peeing on Daddy and taking baths

Firsts:  

*First  real bath! Turns out you like the little bathtub we got you way more than you liked getting the sponge baths.

*First Thanksgiving- November 27th. We had a big family Thanksgiving this year with Umpapa, Mema, Nana Pelner and Aunt Laura! It was the first holiday meal that I didn't have to cook in many years so it was nice to just sit back and relax during it… and the weather was so perfect we even got to eat outside for it this year.

*First full day home alone with Mommy- December 3rd. Daddy was back and work and Nana left to go home so we were left to our own devices for the day... You were super sweet and cuddly all day, on your best behavior for the 1st of many days just the two of us!

Milestones:  Learned to really latch on, according to the lactation consultant you are one healthy eater!

Clothing Size: Newborn

Diaper Size:  Newborn, though those are getting small!

Nicknames: Charlie, Poppy, Charlie Bear

Daddy’s “Favorite” Moment:  First time that Mommy and Daddy got out of the house for a “date”- we went to lunch just the two of us… even though Daddy kept checking on the video monitor the entire time we were there to make sure that you were doing ok!

Mommy’s “Favorite” Moment:  Finally changing my first diaper… although many of our worst moments were changing diapers during these last few weeks, it felt really amazing to finally be able to take care of you on my own.

Favorite Mommy quotes from social media:

November 28^th: “Thankful for so many things this year and especially for my families- the one I was born into, the one I married into, the friends who have become my family and then the truly amazing one that Dan and I have made with Charlie... This year my heart really is full”

November 29th: “Happiness is waking up from a 2 hour nap to find both my men also asleep- Dan on the couch & Charlie in his crib... We are all quite exhausted over here!!! ‪#‎sleepwhenthebabysleeps”

December 1st:  “Off to my first Mommy group... Hopefully they don't judge me by my comfy sweatpants... Or the fact that my kid is still in his footie pj's! They are just lucky I managed to shower.”
