We attended your friend’s birthday party at Westmoor Park last week, little one. At one point a Westmoor employee asked all the children to sit while she brought some farm animals around for the partygoers to pet.
Please notice how all the children have moved over to the seats except for you.
When the woman brought the chicken around, you told her to take it away. “No!” you said. “That’s disgusting!”
You agreed to pet the bunny, though. Too cute to resist, I guess.
I can’t believe how little you are, Charlie. You look like a peanut!
And I can’t believe how big you look, Clara. Our big girl!
Fear not, little Charlie. You are only about 15 days old, so Mommy and I aren’t nearly ready to eject you from the self-rocking cradle in our bedroom and put you in your own room. But tonight Mommy plopped you down in the crib that will soon be your own in order to read books to Clara.
You seemed to take to the crib rather nicely, falling asleep quickly.
Mommy and I take our children’s sleeping arrangements very seriously, little one, so before long, you will be sleeping in your own room in your crib.
It appears that you won’t mind one bit.
We’ve officially found something that you do not like, little Charlie.
Bathing.
We gave you your first bath today, and you screamed for most of it. Thus far it’s the only thing that you have thoroughly rejected.
Unfortunately, your mother likes to bath her children hourly, so this is going to be a challenge for you.
Your first favorite toy, little Charlie, is a snuggly little rabbit that you have clung to from time to time. In truth, it’s the only toy that you’ve shown any actual interest in, but that qualifies as a favorite to me!
Your strong grip required me to type with one hand, little Charlie, but it was well worth it.
Nani spent a week with us after I went back to work, little Charlie, helping Mommy take care of you. As a result, the two of you spent a lot of quality time together.
Even when Nani was working her eBay business, she found time to snuggle with you. Between me and Nani, you have spent a great deal of time listening to the clattering of keyboards.
These are my favorite photos of you so far, little Charlie. I can’t help but wonder what kind of personality you will have, and I like to think that that these pictures show our first inklings of what the personality might be.
