5 wk Update

Can you believe this boy is only 5 wks old? He is a chunk! When weighed at 3wks old, he was 10 lbs 6 oz. Thats a gain of 2 lb. 9 oz. in just 3 wks! He doesn't miss a meal. And it looks like what we thought might turn out to be blue eyes, could turn brown. Which I read in a baby book that it actually takes 3 mo or longer before they turn the color they're going to be. Charlie is laying on the changing table that we moved into the bathroom, because we have to wash his bottom w/ soap and water after a stinky diaper. Just like Jack, wipes give him an awful rash. So we tried using wet paper towels and that didn't help either. We've moved the changing station closer to the sink since our bathroom is so big. We don't have to wash Jack's bottom anymore, although wipes still give him a rash, we just wipe him with a wet washcloth after using wipes. Ah, the joys of diapering! Oh, Charlie is sporting his blue Fuzzi Bunz here! His hair fell out on top, although the hair at the crown is still there.
We had to show you the fat rolls on his legs. Cruel parents, I know, but its so cute we had to share!

It was raining outside today, so Jack geared up in his rubber boots and rain coat. He even has a small umbrella that he likes to use inside rather than outside. Go figure!

He enjoyed pushing this stoller through a big water puddle! Sometimes he gives the soccer or basketball a ride.
Charlie is growing like a weed. His shirt reads "Unbearably Cute" and it is so true!!! I'm not biased at all :).
Notice the double chin.






Fast asleep in his mother's arms.

Good till the last drop! Mark recently introduced Jack to chocolate milk, which I think is disgusting, but to each his own. Jack just couldn't get enough!
"Mower" He can spot them a mile away anywhere we go. The other day we went to Wal-Mart to look at outside slides and play houses. He walked right past the playground equipment displayed to the push mowers. Here he is admiring the "mowers" in a newspaper advertisement.
One day he won't like these pictures, but I got a kick out watching him put on my dress shoes.
