And He Smiles!

It's the elusive one month grin! Okay, this is probably gas, but it sure is sweet. And I can't be happier about capturing it on camera.

So, Charlie is already a month old. It has sort of seemed like we've had him for forever but also like this month has flown by, all at the same time. Maybe it's sleep deprivation that is causing my confusion. Anyway, Charlie is a sweetie pie. He basically eats, sleeps, and poops, but he also coos and cuddles. He has the sweetest smell (most of the time) and he is always so warm. You can't help kissing the top of his head. Maybe that is why his baby fuzz is thinner up top, causing him to have the tiniest mullet. It's adorable.

He looks so much like Oscar did as an infant, so I'm hoping he will have those serious eyelashes that Oz has. Charlie already has the penetrating stare so if he gets the eyelashes on top of that, he will be somewhat irresistible. He is already showing some personality, too. I can tell that Charlie is going to have a temper! When this boy gets mad, he gets REALLY mad. He has a long fuse so far though, and he is really tolerant of his big brother. Oscar likes to get in Charlie's face and "snuggle" him. Oz also likes to tuck and untuck Charlie's blankets and steal Charlie's soother. Charlie just watches Oz, like he can't decide whether he cares or not.

As far as milestones, nothing to really report. Charlie is pretty strong. He is like his big brother in that he is already trying to hold his head up. We do tummy time daily and he almost rolled over at one point! He is also a good eater; he is just a loud gulper, though. I doubt I'd ever be able to nurse in public due to the crazy whooping cough kind of sounds Charlie makes! People would stop and stare I'm sure. It sounds crazy.

Well, here is my little one month old!

Whoohoo 34 weeks of pregnancy!

Here's my little soccer player! The doc snapped an in utero 4d picture of his face. (Technology, you rock.)


I know these are sort of tough to make out, but I cropped it to help you out, reader... (I can never pick out ANYTHING out of the 2d kind of ultrasounds.) Anyway, all that wrinkly stuff on the other side of his face - what he is smushed into - is the umbilical cord. Freaky. I kinda feel sorry for the little fella! Next time he starts moving around and kicking/bruising my ribcage, I'm going to stop and remember this picture and recognize that my baby just doesn't have much room in there. Plus he has a cord up in his grill.


Other items of note, the techy that did most of the ultrasound showed us my baby boy's eyes! He was blinking and she could tell that he has long eyelashes already, like Oscar's. That is just wild. And she showed us the hair on the back of his head. Speaking of his head, it's a biggin'. Whoo Daddy! He is gonna be just like his big brother as far as gargantuan craniums go. Kiddo is three weeks ahead of schedule on head growth. It's a good thing that we have a scheduled c-section! I'm so amazed at what technology can show us prior to birth. It sure does take a lot of the fear and paranoia out of it!
