Happy half-birthday to CharlieB!
Names he goes by: Charles, Charlie, CharlieB, Cha-Cha, Charlito, Chatterbox, Snickerdoodle, Mister Smiley, and Charlizard. Maybe if he gains some more weight we can call him Chubalub,
When he's not having a growth spurt, he only wakes up once at night. But boy do those bad nights make us appreciate everything else. Sleep training is underway when it's time to go to bed, and we are making loads of progress. We have a happy little sleeper on board!
Lately he rolls from his back to his tummy and starts to cry because he isn't patient enough to take the time to roll back the other way. We know he can roll over both ways, but Mama has yet to see him actually do it, but she knows.
He talks so much, we all can't wait to hear what he has to say. He has babbled Mama, Dada, and a number of other sounds. Sometimes he'll go on and on for several minutes, other times he just says his piece and goes back to smiling. He really loves to start making noise first thing in the morning until Mama comes in to pick him up.
He is definitely a morning person and is always super smiley. Family morning snuggles are our favorite part of the day, followed by post-dinner playtime. Those family snuggles are the most wonderful thing in the world.
He tried rice cereal for the first time and looked like a dear caught in the headlights. But Auntie Anna has been helping him get used to it. Next up will be sweet potato puree.
Loud noises do startle him and he will cry, but we are trying to help him learn that he is okay. If something really sets him off, it's almost like he can't fill his lungs with enough air and his cries seem almost hysterical. We calm down quickly, but we are working on preventing the hysteria.
Mama can't wait to spend the summer having fun adventures with her little dude!
