-Is the happiest baby on the planet! Seriously you guys, who is this boy? I always thought JJ was such an easy baby, but he had NOTHING on Charlie Arthur. He just goes with the flow, enjoys everything, and smiles no matter what. He likes his swing. He likes chilling on the floor. He likes the carseat. He likes his carrier. He can sleep in noise or quiet. He can sleep in light or dark. He rarely cries.
-Had found his little tongue and sticks that thing out all the time now!
-Is sleeping soooo well. He regularly takes 2 uninterrupted 3-hour naps during the day (and a cat nap before dinner). Then he conks out at 7pm and sleeps until 7am waking up 2 times to eat. He usually gives us at least a 6 hours stretch during the night. My only complaint is that it takes him a loooong time to fall asleep for the night. I have to nurse him for about an hour before he is out cold.
-Finally graduated from sponge baths to real tub baths.
-Tolerates JJ's endless snuggles, kisses, and requests to sword fight really well. These brothers sure love each other. JJ loves to hold Charlie's hand, pat his belly, sing him Thunder by Imagine Dragons, and throw away his diapers.
-Has steel blue eyes with the most beautiful almond shape. This is definitely a characteristic he inherited from the Thunell side of the family. He also has a significantly darker complexion than JJ at this age. These boys looks so much alike but so different all at the same time.
-Is getting juicier by the day. He is busting out of his 3 month clothes and has moved up to size 2 diapers. I need to weight him soon to see how much he has gained!
-Had a few notable outings this month. He loved bowling in my ergo baby carrier. We also have visited several parks and had playdates with new friends. He loves tagging along to his brother's storytime and sports class.
Oh Charlie Bubba! Moving across the country was not easy on me, but you have been a dream come true in making the move as easy as possible and giving me time to get our family settled. Thank you sweet boy for bring a powerful force of peace and optimism to our family. I sure love you and am enjoying getting to know you better each day. XOXO--Mama
