Weeks 1-2


Eating his bribe for taking a picture with his brother:

We are adjusting to life of two boys. Charlie sort of had a slow start, we actually had to stay in the hospital for 5 days because he was losing weight. I never thought I'd say this, but we needed a LESS content newborn :) He just wasn't interested in eating, he preferred sleeping for the first week or so. We finally had a reverse on the weight loss, came home, and in the last week he has put on a 1/2 pound! Making up for lost time I guess. Now Charlie rarely misses a meal, is a great sleeper (can go 5 hours or so), and is generally content. Just hangs out and looks around.

Henry is doing well adjusting to a little brother. He gives Charlie kisses and talks to him when he's in the right mood. About once a day he'll see one of us holding Charlie and he'll inform us that Charlie would like to sit in the swing now. We've had a few jealousy issues, but nothing too long lasting and we are considering it a win!
