Shots for the Birthday Boy

Charlie was officially 1 month old on Friday. On his birthday, he had to get the hepatitis B booster shot. He only cried for a little bit. The dr. weighed him and he is now 9 lb 12 oz!!

We also got shots of him on his 1 month birthday by his Mimi.













I took these with my camera - I love his chicken leggies!

Random Pictures

Charlie has been keeping me busy, but I've been meaning to post various pictures so here goes it:

I had a bad night and Dorothy offered to come by after work to help out (i.e. hold Charlie for 1-2 hours). Buddy got in on the snuggling action. Everyone loves them some Dorothy!

Buddy has been very lovey since Charlie came home. Here is Rob getting some Buddy love.

Happy 4 Week Birthday, Charlie!

Today (1/26) was a big day for Charlie. Today is his 4 week birthday, we went to Redwood City to visit my coworkers then stopped at Nonni and Grandpa Wagners home. It was also a big day for me - it was my longest outing since Charlie was born. I should be giving Charlie a present, but he gave me a great gift last night: he was a such a good baby. After each feeding, he went down without a fuss. He usually goes down well at 1 of the feedings but the others aren't always so successful. Last night was one of the best nights I've had since we've been home.

I wanted to take a picture of Charlie on his four week birthday but it didn't work out how I imagined it would:



I asked for Rob to take a picture with me holding him but we still couldn't get our acts together....

Tummy Time - Buddy Style

Tummy Time

Charlie is really good about lifting his head when he is laying on our chests, but I was hoping to get him started on the tummy time mat. He doesn't love it but the other day he was finally lifting his head off the mat. I didn't get very good pictures, but this is what I was able to get:
