Almost 3 Months!

Baby Charlie is 1 week away from being 3 months old - I can't  believe how fast time goes!  Month 2 was filled with lots of exciting stuff - smiles, laughs,the first signs of rolling over, pool parties, music class, concerts, baseball games, dance parties with mommy, brunch with his girlfriends and officially meeting all the great-grandparents.

Charlie is such a happy little man - he loves to smile at us and talk to us (basically gurgle) and we think it is such a rewarding feeling.  Although we are not sure what he is trying to say, we can definitely tell it is something good because when he talks, his eyes are smiling and bright!     I wish I could bottle up the feeling I have when I look at him - it makes me so happy and proud

But lets talk about music class...  Each week I take him to Whole Foods where they have different music programs for kids.  I get very excited for this class because I wait in anticipation to see how he will react to the music and all the other kids/babies around him.  However, Charlie loves to sleep during the class and then wakes up right when it ends - not what I had in mind for him!  So,  last week I had the genius idea of waking him up when we got to class by giving him a bottle while we listened to the music.  There we were, rockin' out to Itsy Bitsy Spider and I feel something warm running down my leg and I was quite confused.  I look down to find a "gift" from his diaper all over my leg.  He had a major diaper explosion that was getting all over the both of us.  I sat there for a minute completely stunned thinking "what does a mom do in this situation"    I had to act quick before the smell traveled to other people around us, so I discreetly cleaned us up the best that I could and got the heck out of there so I could go finish the clean up in the car.  (in the meantime, he was just smiling away which made me laugh)  I was very proud of how calm I remained during this "emergency"  and I would like to thank Charlie for that - he has definitely made me realize the meaning of the phrase "just roll with it" I have a feeling Charlie and I will be "rolling with it" a lot!!
