Week 4... we made it a month!

 

 

Weight:  10 lbs 3 oz

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

Hates:  Sleeping, Naps, being swaddled, hats, tummy time and your carseat/ stroller

Loves:  Your baby wrap, cuddling , crying, your activity gym, peeing on Mommy (you have moved from peeing on Daddy to Mommy)

Firsts:  

*First Mommy & Me Class… which you loved. And by loved I mean you slept through almost all of it. But it was just great to get out of the house and spend some time with other mommies.  And  in fact you were a perfect angel- only baby in the class that  didn’t  cry! We got to sing some songs, attempt tummy time and learn a few new ways to play.

Milestones:  Learned to “kick” a ball, Able to express being hungry without crying- you try to basically motorboat mommy when you are hungry. Though you also do that sometimes to Daddy to show him that you are hungry too. Started to grab on to Mommy’s hair, which you now like to cuddle with while you sleep!

Clothing Size: Newborn

Diaper Size:  1… my little guy moved up in size.

Grumpy Face of the Month:

Nicknames: Charlie, Charlie Bear, Buddy, Squeaker (because you make the cutest little squeaking sounds)

Yawn of the Month:

Daddy’s “Favorite” Moment:  Daddy has been busy with work and diaper changes and baby cuddles so the last week (and month really!) has gone by in a blur but his favorite moments are all the ones that he has at home with you.

Mommy’s “Favorite” Moment:  Learning how to use my baby wrap. The last few weeks have been amazing with all of the cuddles all the time but I haven’t been able to be very mobile. Now that we have figured out the wrap, when you are fussy I can just wrap you to me and still be able to do things.

All wrapped up on your Mommy.

More of our Favorite Moments:

You may hate your crib & bassinet but you sure do love napping on your Mommy!

One month of Baby Snuggles!!! More and more in love with you every day.

Favorite Mommy quotes from social media:

December 5th:  “Day 2 of being home alone with Charlie and I bundled us both up for a walk... Apparently Charlie has decided he hates his stroller, hats and outdoors so we made it a few houses with him screaming bloody murder until I turned back home... Now having ice cream for lunch! But at least I made it to noon today- yesterday I needed cake at 8am...”

December 7th: “Nothing like hoping out of a much needed shower and expecting some cute baby cuddles but instead getting pee'd all over! Well played Charlie... ‪#‎diaperfail

December 8th: “It is amazing how exhausted, frustrated and utterly in love you can be all at the same time  

December 10^th: “I had assumed we would go through cute baby clothes because Charlie would ruin them... So far 2 have been stained- the 1st by coffee and the 2nd by chocolate ice cream! Ooops... Guess I shouldn't have dressed him up early for our Mommy and me class or maybe shouldn't have attempted chocolate ice cream while he was sleeping on me. ‪#‎mommyfail
