One Month Old

Quite a bit of updates coming up.

Thursday 1/5 - Charlotte went to the pediatrician with Mom and Nanny. She had been really fussy during feedings, after feedings, and when she would lay on her back. The doc believes the culprit is Acid Reflux. Nothing a little prescription to Zantac won't fix. We have included some pictures of Charlotte eating her Zantac. She does not like it. Dad tried it. It's peppermint flavored.

She also now weighs in a whopping 7 1/2 pounds!

Friday 1/6 - Paul and Jena came over with dinner again. Charlotte did great and we all hung out, had a little wine (even mom had a glass) and relaxed. Charlotte slept really well Friday night. I wonder why?

Saturday 1/7 - Dad brought Abigail to the vet for a follow appointment. She had an ear infection of some kind. She still has an ear infection. More ear drops. Not fun for her. Dad went to the dump. Mom stayed in bed with Charlotte all morning. Dad made them both Belgian Waffles and Bacon for breakfast.

Saturday afternoon Kelly and Dave had Brodie's Christening in Manchester, NH. It was very nice since we got to sit in the font two rows of the church. The ceremony was great and it was a full Catholic Mass. Dad and Charlotte do not know any of the prayers or words to the hymns so they did their best to keep up. When we were giving Peace (you know the Peace be with you part of church) some stranger shook moms hand then kissed the top of Charlottes head. Luckily we were in church so dad let it go. Charlotte did great, didn't cry the whole ceremony. However mom had a VERY hard time trying to breastfeed in church.

Saturday night we all went back to Dave and Kellys to eat, drink, and be merry. There were 12 kids all running around. Dad did not find it very merry since he had never been around that many kids at once. Ohh and there was plenty of cake for them too. Just what they needed...sugar.

Sunday 1/8 - Mom, Dad, & Charlotte went to the mall to exchange a pair of jeans for a different size (dad is getting fat). Charlotte slept the whole time in her stroller! Then they went grocery shopping with Charlotte. As they got out of the car with her, dad grabbed a shopping cart. He tried to put Charlotte and her car seat in the cart backwards. Mom got frustrated with dad and put the carseat on the cart correctly and proceeded to push the cart into the grocery store. She couldn't see over the top of the cart very well and ran it right into a giant cement post used to stop cars from running into the grocery store. Mom and Dad must have looked like Dumb and Dumber.

Charlotte slept the WHOLE time...almost 2 1/2 hours. It's only a little win but mom was very happy that she feels she can now get out of the house with Charlie.
