Charlie @ 1 Month

Today marks the big ONE month birthday for our little man.  Here are some fun Charlie facts from our first month as a family. 

Charlie's favorite activity: The Swing for sure, he loves to check himself out in the mirror mobile and its his favorite napping spot. 

Charlie's least favorite activity: Having Dad dress him in anything that isn't a sleeper onezie with a zipper.  It's equally as painful to watch. 

Charlie's food: He is going through a bit of a growth spurt we think and in just the past few days he's transitioned from 3 oz bottles to 4 oz bottles and he's been powering through them every 3 hours or so.  As for what's in the bottles, enfamil newborn.

Charlie's favorite song: We would like to guess "The Weight" by The Band.  Dad plays this during his late night feedings replacing the lyrics to say "take a load off Charlie." Take a listen:

Charlie's stats: I'd like to give you Charlie's one-month stats but we don't go back to the doctor until next Thursday when I'll be sure to publish them.  At his two-week appointment he was:

• 7 lbs. 5 oz. (5th percentile)
• 22 inches (75th percentile)
• 50th perecentile for head circumference

Charlie's best tricks:  Bearing in mind he can't do too much yet his best tricks are sneezing, hiccups, and snoring (in that order).

It's hard to believe its only been a month because it feels like he's been in our lives forever but at the same time it feels like just yesterday we were meeting him for the first time. 

Big First for Charlie: First piece of mail, his social security card!
