One Year ago today and 4 months!

Hey everyone I am 4 Months Old!

One year ago today we found out that we were going to be parents and were so excited, nervous and a little scared about the journey that was ahead of us. Now here we are one year later and we have a beautiful baby boy who turned 4 months old today. It is hard to believe he has been here for us to love now for 4 months. I know this sounds crazy but a year ago when we found out I couldn't make time go fast enough and now that Charlie is here it seems like every day goes faster then the day before.

Charlie is growing and changing in so many ways and Josh and I just love to watch him play, smile and talk to himself. In the last week he has become quit the chatterbox when he is on his play mat, I think he love talking to his bugs and I am sure in his world they talk back to him. He is now reaching and playing with his toys so now when he it on his play mat he is actually playing and not just laying there starting at his toys. It is quit fun to watch him and see his eyes light up and see this huge smile on his face when he grabs a toy and it makes a noise. He is still only rolling from front to back but he is getting closer to going from back to front, I think he doesn't want to do it though because he really isn't a fan of being on his tummy. Charlie has gotten better at taking naps and going to bed now I can lay him down and 90% of the time he falls asleep right away the other 10% we just have to go and put his paci back in his mouth and he is out. My little boy is getting to be so independent and I know as the months go on he will continue to become more independent.

On Friday we took Charlie to the doctor for his 4 month check up. He got weighted, measured and got 4 shots and hammed it up for doctor Joe as well. As far as his stats go he was in the 50% for height and 5%, yet that is 5 for weight. We are in the process of trying to beef him up and we will go back to the doctor on Friday to see if he has gained some weight. The doctor said he didn't look unhealthy he just thought he should have gained more weight, so we will see if our efforts will help him out. Below are his stats from birth, 2 months and 4 months.

Length at Birth: 20 1/4"
Length at 2 months: 23"
Length at 4 months: 25 1/8"
Weight at Birth: 6.5lbs
Weight at 2 months: 10lbs
Weight at 4 months: 10lbs12oz (as you can see not alot of weight gain)
Head circumference: 15"
Head circumference: 16"
