Charlie is Two Months Old

I took this picture of Charlie at his one month mark:

Already quite the happy guy!

And here he is at two months:

He has changed quite a bit.  He is chubbier and his eyes keep lightening up.  I am pretty sure he will end up being our first blue-eyed baby.

And he is still his same old happy self!  (With a very kissable double chin.)

Charlie smiles whenever anyone talks to him.

And when he is awake, he loves to be able to look around everywhere.

That might have something to do with the fact that our house is rarely quiet, and he wants to know where all the noises are coming from.  Maybe the noises the kids make are comforting to him in a way.

The other morning, Charlie found his thumb.  It kept him happy for quite some time, even though he was very hungry.

But then he lost it and became quite upset when he couldn't figure out why.  He did find it again, but I took mercy on him and snatched him up from my bed so I could feed him.  He looked so cozy, I hated to disturb him.

Everett still loves to dote on Charlie.

Charlie really gets a lot of attention around here.

Sometimes he gets a little TOO much attention, but Charlie is pretty good at rolling with it.

And the kids are so glad he is just as interested in them as they are in him.

I always tease Ashley that she has baby magic because she can soothe Charlie very easily.  He usually calms right down when he is with her.

And she loves to help him get cozy.  Everything is better with stuffed animals, right?  It will be nice when Charlie is more mobile; then we won't have to be quite so paranoid about what could be too close to his face and obstruct his breathing.  How do we ever survive having older siblings?

It's been a good two months, and I think we are all looking forward to many good years to come!
