Big Boy Bed!

The big news for Charlie this week is that he has graduated from his bassinet to his crib. On Monday we started a bed time routine that Charlie will hopefully adjust to in a few days. He seems to have a hard time going down but once he is down he is a happy little boy and only wakes up once around 2 or 3 to eat and then goes right back down with no fussing until about 5 or 6. I am still having a hard time with the fact that he isn't right next to me, but I am sure it will get easier as the days and weeks pass. Josh and I both feel this is the best thing for him and will make him an even happier baby.

Charlie has also graduated from the sponge bath to the baby bath tub. He was not to keen on the sponge baths, he would scream except for when he was getting his hair washed, but he seems to love his real bath. He is generally crying before he gets in because he is cold, but as soon as he gets in the crying switch is turned off and he is as happy as a clam. The only problems I have encountered with the bath are that he likes to drink the soapy water and slid down all the way in and he really hates getting out. He gets the love of the water from him mommy, apparently daddy didn't like to get a bath as a baby.

This weekend Charlie will be going on his first overnight trip to Lake Martin for Megan wedding. Now is the time that Josh and I will find out if he can sleep well in an unfamiliar place. I think he will do fine but some babies just can't get settled when they don't know where they are, here's to hoping he is not one of those babies.

And last but not least a few picture for your viewing pleasure. I have to run now my sleeping baby is starting to stir.
