We had his 4 month old well baby check up last week, and not to anybody's surprise, Charlie was changing very rapidly. He weighed in at 16.7 pounds and 27.25 inches long. His head had grown another inch since last visit as well. So once again our boy was 99th for his head circumference, and 97th for his height. This time he was in the 75th percentile for his weight, but our doctor wasn't concerned. He seemed to think that Charlie has 'evened' out a bit in his weight gain.
This past week was a different week for us. I was let go from my new job last Saturday, so until I found a new job I was staying at home with Charlie. The extra time was nice with him, and I soaked up every minute of it.
We spent alot of time on the floor on our tummy. I realized that Charlie spends a great deal of time in his jumper or his swing, and not so much on his tummy. When you hold him he acts like he wants to be crawling so bad, I figured we need to spend some time on the floor, so he can figure it all out.
Sometimes its hard after your bath when all you want is to be all wrapped up, but your towel doesn't want to corporate. I mean who wants your eyes to be covered, and your toes exposed???
Such a big boy! He's almost able to sit up by himself. When he does, he has to lean forward to keep his balance, so I figured a little help from the boppy would be a good thing. Not to mention that he just looked so cute in his overalls. The cooler weather we've been having has allowed me to get out the hoodies and outfits like this one. Charlie looks so cute in his fall clothes.
This past week was a blessing, and now that I'm back at work, I treasure these little moments like I had with him the other morning.
