2 Months Old with the Gund Bear

Charlie at 2 months is much better than 1 month! We have switched his medicine twice for the acid reflus and it has really made the difference. he is not longer in pain all day and had turned into a pretty happy little guy. He can roll over from front to back and scoot really far forward. He loves to smile and coo... he will talk to practically anyone that will listen. The Dr is still concerned with his eyes, we have had 2 opthomologist appointments to make sure he is OK, andwe are keeping a close watch {no pun intended}. He weighs in at a healthy 12lbs 10oz {50th percentile} and 23 inches long {50th percentile}. He looks a lot like his brother Frank... but we also think he is starting to look like his own man now as well.

Getting so big

Say Uncle

We have been spending a lot of time with Uncle Mike and Uncle Joe before the move Frank4&5 and myself went to one of Joe's Lax games against DeSales (my alma mater) and Frank4 decided to test out the zoom lens.

Since I went back to work on Thursday... the pictures are kind of spread out and random from the past week... but to cute not to share!

Frank LOVES being a big brother to Charlie

He likes to talk to him

What a cute little twosome

Charlie finally got to meet my bestest buddy Roni {geno} and he did a great job holing a little baby... which he was a bit unsure about

Friday night was boy's night{while mommy went out with friends} and Frank took Frank and Charlie to Skyline... they love Skyline... I think they will miss it when we move to DC

Saturday Frank4&5 went to Columbus for Uncle Mike's graduation from the Josephinum pre-theology program. His second bachelors degree! Here is Frank and Uncle Joe enjoying some lunch

Charlie and I went to celebrate another Graduation! Congrats on your Master's Degree Emily!
