Jen and Charlie were resting peacefully on the couch when Bob had the bright idea to weigh little Charlie on the kitchen scale. He looked so small in the mixing bowl and the scale read 8 lbs. 7 oz. We didn't think it was accurate because that would mean he was almost back to his birth weight after just a few days, but when we went to the doctor's a few days later the weight was confirmed! OK, maybe it isn't the proper protocol for weighing. Grandma scolded us the next day and said, "so this is what happens when I go to bed..."













Grandma gave little Charlie his first (sponge) bath. Charlie HATES having any parts below his waist exposed, but quiets down as soon as he is wrapped up again.
