Sweet Charlie Boy!

We love you so very much! You are the perfect addition to our family. Living life with you is an honor and a joy. You’re a growing boy and wear size 3 diapers and 3-6 month clothes.

You’re still a happy boy and are quite generous with your sweet smiles! Your whole little face lights up when we make eye contact and talk to you. You coo and make the sweetest sounds as you look back into our eyes.

You like to be held and are still pretty snuggly. You enjoy lying down for short periods of time, but really prefer sitting up or standing up and seeing what is going on around you. The bumbo is your favorite place to be. We usually keep it in the kitchen, and you like to watch us prepare meals and wash dishes. It’s also your favorite place to poop! You’ve blown out several diapers in the bumbo. You like to sit in your high chair during meals and smile at us while we eat. When we’re holding you, you use your strong legs to push to a standing position. You love to watch Carson. He’s almost always moving and talking or singing, so he’s quite entertaining. He loves to talk to you and you smile sweetly at him. We love watching you two love each other.

You eat every 2-3 hours during the day, and have even had a few four hour stretches when we’re out and about. You sleep in the rock ‘n play for naps when we’re home and at night. You switched from the swaddle me blanket to the woombie this month. You like that it allows you to move your arms, and you always put your hands beside your face to sleep. You’ve still been sleeping really well and have become quite consistent in sleeping eight hour stretches at night time.

You continue to do well while we’re out and about at the grocery store, restaurants, and at church. You are happy to be passed from one person to another at church. The teenage girls especially love to hold you.

Just a few days after Daddy got home and Pops and Granny left, our sweet friends, the Riches came to visit. We stayed busy and had lots of fun with Mark, Tara, Jaxon, and Madelyn. Daddy took off work and we had a staycation. We went to the Children’s Museum, the Aquarium, Monkey Joes, Chick-fil-A, and an outlet mall. We even took a day trip to Savannah and Tybee Island. We were thankful that you were flexible and went with the flow.

Thank you for being our sweet baby boy!

We love you so much!

Mama, Daddy, and Carson
