3 Weeks!!

August 26, 2010

Charlee,

3 weeks already? You're growing so fast, I can't keep up - even to get this posted! It's hard to even imagine what our lives were like before you were here. You really have completed our family.

Now... on to this week's stats:

• 
  
  You weigh a whopping 7 pounds! This isn't exactly precise as we don't have another doctor appointment for another month, so Mommy used her own scale to get your weight.
• 
  
  You are still eating every 3-4 hours, taking about 2 1/2 oz of formula. Mommy still has to wake you up for most feedings, but if you do get hungry early... Everybody look out! :)
• 
  
  You are awake a little more now, mostly in the early mornings, which works out because Mommy is a morning person too.
• 
  
  Lots of people are saying when your eyes are open you look more like your Mommy.
• 
  
  We are working on getting you to bed by 7pm, but you don't always comply with the plan. Even if you don't go to sleep you just lay in your bed and check out the scenery (most of the time).
• 
  
  You still LOVE for your Daddy to hold you on his chest.
• 
  
  When you're a pre-teen you'll probably kill me for posting this but... We can tell when you are making a dirty diaper because you flare your nostrils!
• 
  
  You are smiling and cooing more and more these days - still mostly in your sleep, but we've heard a few coos while you were awake. I just know a smile is coming soon!
• 
  
  Since you have spurts of alertness, Mommy has been letting you play on your mat. You really like to stare at the toys that hang down and bat them with your hands. Mommy isn't sure if you're doing this on purpose or not, but either way it keeps you entertained! Here's a picture of you playing:

We just can't wait to see what you have in store for us next week! You just keep getting cuter and cuter! :)
