Baby. Brother. Henry Hugglemonster. Honey. Buddy. Boy. Teeny. Chunky Monkey. Chubby. Big Boy.These are just a few of the names you are lovingly called. You are an awesome little baby. You have started this new thing where you will be sitting in my lap looking around and next thing I know you feel heavy and are slouched over sound asleep. You still don't like taking naps though. You won't nap in your crib (only your swing, stroller, or car seat). You nap for about an hour total a day. You love to people watch. You sit watching Iva and Charlie and will randomly just giggle at them. You love to eat and eat quite frequently (every 1 1/2- 2 hours) which makes feeding you a full time job. You are happy and know how to get what you want with cooing and smiles. You LOVE your dada and get the biggest smile when you see him. You love "talking" with dada. You love the umbrella stroller. You usually hang out in there and get pushed here and there around the house- Iva always pushes you to whereever she is playing so you can see. She is a second mom to you. Charlie is your protector and doesn't let anyone, but mom and dad hold you. He makes sure everyone knows you are our baby. You, also, love to sit in the bumbo and look around. You sit on the kitchen table with us while we eat dinner and keep us quite entertained. Iva and Charlie make sure we see every single move and face you make. Your hand works completely fine now- thanks for the slight worry- and you graduated to physical therapy once every other week now. You are the hit of physical therapy and all the other patients love you. You are the biggest drool machine ever. I don't know how it is physically possible. Sometimes you smile and drool just comes pouring out. We keep checking to see if you are an early teether because there is so much drool, but not yet. You are an amazing night time sleeper. You go to bed around 630- 7 every night and wake up around 7 in the morning. You occassionally wake up at night, but it is really only once in a blue moon. I am well rested thanks to you sleeping so well at night. You are a sweet, little, chubby, snuggly baby. We love you!

And the perfect example of the drool. It seriously is amazing how much you drool. You are always wet and we have to change your shirts so much!

Oh Charlie, he is definitely my special little buddy. There is something so sweet about him. He is a very calm (content) baby. He has started to babble and squeal a lot. He loves to lay on the floor, be in his swing, sit in his car seat and just lately has started loving sitting in the bumbo. He loves to cuddle, but is as stiff as a board a lot of the time. He likes the taste of rice cereal, but still is learning how to eat it. He smiles any time he sees or hears Iva. He is slowly winning her over. He loves to be up and looking around. He loves to arch his back and squirm all around to see what is going on. He is the worst nap taker ever. We get 15 minute catnaps here and there, but that is it. He is an awesome sleeper though- 10:00 pm to 9:30 am. I will not complain about his awesome nighttime sleep schedule or trade it for naps. He shares a room with Iva now and sleeps in his crib. He doesn't wake up to her and she doesn't wake up to him. (Seriously, could we be any luckier with sleepers?) He had his first bottle of formula and loved it. He is chubby and full of rolls.
