Growing, growing, growing...

This week has been a week of change in the Gressler household. The first big change is that I went back to work this week, and Charlie started going to daycare. The first day was very hard, for mommy that is, Charlie was just fine. Go figure, right? Charlie seems to really like his daycare, and is always very happy while he is there, which helps mommy in this transition. 

I swear that Charlie is hitting another growth spurt here lately. Last night he slept for 12 hours. Then once we got up and started to hang out and relax this morning, he fell asleep in his swing, and slept for almost 3 more hours! So now we are up to 15 hours of sleep since 7:30 last night. Then while running errands, he fell asleep, and slept for another hour and a half. So we are looking at 16.5 hours of sleeping today. Does this boy not realize that there is only 24 hours in a day?? Probably not.

Story time...I try and read to Charlie everyday. He seems to enjoy looking at the books, and is usually very still.

He is getting so big...it doesn't seem like it was too long ago, that you had to prop him up against the arm to try and get him to sit up, and then usually he would just slide down into a pile of cuteness. Now he can sit up in the middle of the chair, all by himself...where has the time gone...sigh...

I took this one today. I thought he would enjoy showing off the present that my aunt gave me for him. She said she thought about taking a sharpie and writing 'great' in front of the aunt, but luckily she changed her mind. Nothing says redneck like sharpie on a shirt....

I think this little boy needs some more love....what do you think???

Look at me I'm 3 months old!

Yes, yes I'm afraid it's true. Charlie turned 3 months old yesterday....my baby is growing up waaayyy too fast! How have we spent these past few weeks...well running errands with mommy, even when it's a little chilly outside....

Spending time in his Bumpo, so that he can sit up by himself someday..

Of course, falling asleep in his swing is still one of his favorite thing to do, especially in the early am...

Who can forget about spending time in 'his' chair with his toys. He's starting to really pay attention to which toy he has, and reach out and grab the one he wants.

Charlie has really started to find his voice. He spends most of the days just babbling on about I'm sure he feels is important. It's all about having the important conversations these days.

Being a big boy by sitting all by himself in his daddy's chair. My how time flies! My little baby is growing into a little man. He's so precious and such a blessing to our lives.

Warning: Cute naked baby pictures ahead....

About those naked baby pictures....just kidding. I don't want to offend anybody, or to  seem creepy or anything like that. Now that I have your attention, I do have some pictures to offer for your viewing.

Not quite naked baby pictures, but close enough for comfort. Who doesn't love a half naked, extremely cute little boy?? I know I do!!

Yes, while I was taking a few pictures from this angle, he did act like he wanted to roll off the changing table. He hasn't rolled over for awhile, but I know that the day that he starts to roll over on a regular basis is getting closer.

All dressed and ready to run errands with mommy today.

Hope you enjoyed looking at my pictures....I'm a sucker for the camera!!
