Charlie is 1 month

At 1 month Charlie weighs 12lbs 3oz and is 23 inches long.  He's growing well, but is smaller than his big brother at this age.  Charlie has rolled over from tummy to back several times starting at about 2.5 weeks.  He started smiling at 3 weeks.  Charlie is a good eater, and is so far a pretty easy baby.  He nurses every 2.5 to 3 hours and gives us one 3.5-5 hour stretch at night.  He even gave us one 6 hour stretch!!!  Charlie is very strong and already holds his head up quite well.  He likes tummy time, and generally naps in the swing.  He absolutely hates the bouncy seat and the car seat, crying almost immediately when placed in either!!  He likes to look at the fan, and does not like being hot!  He has just started wearing 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers.  He also starting taking the pacifier and seems to love it!  I'm hoping for a paci baby rather than a thumbsucker like the older two, because I have found that stopping a thumb sucker is SUPER hard!!! The big kids are adjusting well to Charlie.  Ethan likes to give Charlie kisses saying,  "Him kiss" quite frequently.  He has held him a couple of times, but it only lasts about 2 seconds before he says, "Take HIM!!" Hannah is a great big sister and loves to hold Charlie, but does not tolerate it when he gets fussy!!!
