Week 4 - Hello World!

This week Charlie is a little more alert and discovering the world around him. He still likes to be held and cuddled and bounced around (daddy has a move called the California earthquake), but he also enjoys some playtime on his own and just stares at his toys and listens to the music. He also seems to do a lot of grunting...babies just make the craziest noises.


OK. Maybe I over did it just a little and could have over stimulated him with too many toys, but he really liked it and stared it all the toys for like 15 minutes...enough time for me to fix my lunch and eat!


Stacey is back from China and in San Francisco for a week before going back to Chicago. Quite a natural at holding and soothing LBC.



We celebrated my 31st birthday on Wednesday by ordering some food from one of our favorite Italian restaurants, Tomasso's. I got some beautiful flowers from Andy and from Marme as well as a really pretty cake that looks like a present ( in the middle of the table).



My best birthday present of all...sweet little baby Charlie!



Charlie likes to sit in is bouncy chair while we eat.


Well, he likes it most of the time, but needed a little attention from his daddy while I enjoyed a nice glass of wine for my birthday!

A couple of glasses of wine later called for bottle time : ) Luckily Charlie doesn't have a preference and enjoys mama's milk either way...he sucks down the bottle in no time!


Thanks Andy and LBC for an awesome birthday! I'm one lucky gal.
