A Week with Charlie

My Dad took a week of vacation and kept Jack and Patrick this past week.  Jim was back at work, so it gave me a chance to bond with Charlie and catch up on some much-needed sleep.  He picked the boys up Monday morning, just after we found out we could take Charlie off the bilibed.  So, Momma got lots of overdue snuggle time with Charlie.  Jack and Patrick had a fantastic time with Papa.  They went to the zoo, the Arch, out to eat, played in the pool (at the beginning of the week when it was close to 100 degrees!), and lots more.  My Dad sent me pictures, but I was not able to save them to the computer or else I would post them here.  Instead, I have a LOT of pictures of Charlie from the week.  Enjoy!

At this point, I stopped taking pictures for a bit.

On Tuesday evening, Jim and I took Charlie to a welcome event for new faculty members.  At one week old, he was the youngest person there (by probably close to 3 decades).  He did a great job (i.e. he slept almost the entire time).  They even had a name tag for him!
My cousin made this towel for Charlie.  Jack and Patrick have matching towels.





At this point (after about 200 pictures this day), Charlie let me know how he felt about the camera.
Charlie even had his first "tummy time."
Look at him lifting his head off the floor!
Okay.  Tummy time is over.  Mommy will hold you some more.
Daddy was happy to get some Charlie time after work each night.
