Charlie is two months old and we love him more than ever! He is a super good baby, and already giving us 5-6 hours of sleep at night. I have fallen in love with Bubba all over again, watching him be a daddy to this little angel. It's been awesome.
For a quick update: Charles David Bollinger was born on July 25th at 5:54 pm. He weighed 7 pounds, 11 ounces, and was 19.5 inches long. Bubba got to 'play doctor' and catch him, often saying "He's a slippery little bugger!" Good thing the real doctor was right there. :)
He just had his two month appointment yesterday and is weighing 11 pounds 9 ounces (40th percentile), 22.5 inches long (50th percentile). He got his shots too, and was not a happy camper! But he survived!
Bubba loves the messy hair
Charlie loves cuddling with Gramma Messick!
Seriously the light of my life!
We're doing well. Bubba is still working as a Purchasing Agent at TVSpecialists. I stopped being a full-time crisis worker (evaluating patients that come into the ER with suicidal ideation, drug overdoses, and/or psychosis, and place them in inpatient psychiatric units, etc.). I have also done a lot of administrative work, helping to coordinate the other crisis workers and scheduling, payroll, etc. So I still go in once a week (thanks to Gramma for watching Charlie, and also Bubba's cousin), and then put myself on the calendar a couple times a month since it is 24/7 care. I still need a few hundred hours before I am able to get my license as a clinical social worker. I'll get there...slowly, but surely!
I'm excited to hear how others are doing and see their cute families! Thanks again, Sisi, for getting this going!! And don't worry, I will post a lot, since I have the most beautiful son ever! ;)
Bubba was there and caught the baby?!? Definitely want to hear that story.
