He is such a good baby. He is calm and sweet. He cries if he's hungry and starts to fuss when he's getting tired, but other than that, he is so easy-going. He sleeps for good stretches during the night so we usually only have to get up with him 1-2 times per night (if we go to bed at midnight) Every morning it looks like he has grown. He started to smile at us right at one month, he is especially happy in the morning after he eats and gets a clean diaper.

| Charlie likes to play with Edwin's toes. |
He loves bath time, from the moment we set him in his first bath, he was truly peaceful. If I remember right, both my big boys were pretty shocked at first then grew to like baths.
He doesn't mind tummy time, he rolled from his front to back at 3 weeks, I thought it was a fluke, then he started doing it again and again at 5 weeks. (like 11 times in a row, Charlie was keeping track)
He loves being swaddled, if he's not swaddled he wont sleep long unless he's in his swing or carseat, which is where he often naps.
He loves it when you get up close in his face and make cooing baby sounds. He will smile and coo back. He seems to love hearing his noisy brothers.
And his brother's decided they wanted to hold him and jump in on some photos.
These big brothers love Edwin. Charlie wants to greet him every morning. he likes to show him off at his preschool. If Edwin is sad Charlie usually says it's because Edwin can't see Charlie's face. He is always saying that Edwin is his best friend. Miles is a little less involved with Edwin but loves to be my helper. He is always willing to get a diaper, binky, milk bottle or snot sucker. He has said "I can serve you and Edwin!"
He has so much snot and boogers. We are constantly sucking it out. This may seem like a weird detail to include but Max and I keep saying, "i don't think Miles or Charlie had this much snot..." and if I would have documented it, I would have known.
His eyes are gray/blue. Miles started out this way then went brown. So we'll see how Edwin's go. They look more blue to me than how Miles' were and we have the genes for any color in our families. (out of my 3 brothers, one is green, one is blue, and one is brown. Max's family is all green and blue) So far both our big boys have my brown eyes, and Charlie has my blindness. I may secretly be hoping that I get a child with Max's dreamy green eyes.
And totally random, but as I was taking Edwin's photos, Charlie was setting up a "family fun center" in his room. Which seemed to mean, dumping all the stuffed animals, toys, and costumes on the beds and then playing with them. But he did specify this bucket as the baby area of the family fun center so Edwin had to try it out.
Anyway, this is mostly me rambling about our baby but I'm glad that I'm keeping some kind of record so there's that!
