His many faces
Thanks for all your good wishes and prayers. Baby Chuck seems to slowly be on the mend. Hubby and I are taking him to the doctor again today, so we'll see what she says. We're feeling cautiously optimistic and enjoying his improved mood and many cute expressions.

Sick baby
Lately Baby Chuck hasn't been feeling well. He's been crying a lot and not sleeping at night. Today we took him to the doctor's office. Tomorrow we're visiting the dermatologist for his eczema. Hopefully he'll start feeling better soon...
I'm thankful that my sister is coming tomorrow to help out.

Bye nanna and grandpa
Dear nanna and grandpa,
Mom told me that you left today. Why did you have to go? I miss you. When will you come back and see me? I can't wait till this summer. Then I can visit you and meet cousin Manny and pet some kangaroos. I'm going to pet at least five. Mom says that I'm going to be a really big boy then. You might not recognize me. I'll be the one in daddy's arms.
Love,
Baby Chuck

Lotions and potions
Things are finally slowly settling down here. Baby Chuck is getting less fussy during the daytime and he's sloooooowly adjusting to nighttime sleeping. (Hooray!) We hit a low point last week when he woke up every half an hour, but this week we're bouncing back to two- or three- hour stints. Thank goodness, because the bags under my eyes were developing bags of their own.
We think that Baby Chuck's eczema is one of the reasons behind his moodiness and sleeplessness. He's constantly scratching the red, weepy, angry-looking patches that appear all over. Poor boy. Right now we're working on uncovering the irritants that cause the spots and we're also trying to ease the itchiness by dousing his body with lotion.
Thanks to Nanna, our lotion collection has exploded. I think Baby Chuck now has enough products to open an online store.

Windy City
This past weekend we visited Chicago.
We had to bundle up because it was very cold.
But, we braved the weather and saw lots of things.
Nanna also brought me a new friend.

Your love keeps them warm
When Baby Chuck was born, the nurses put a blue and white knitted hat on him. (Seen here.) Every baby born at our hospital receives one of these hand knit lovelies. They're all donated by a group of kind and talented elderly ladies.
Last week we visited a craft fair and found ourselves drawn to a display of colorful knitted hats. The elderly lady behind the display was particularly keen to talk to us when she saw Baby Chuck snoozing in his carrier. After a couple minutes of chatting, we found out that she was one of the ladies who knitted the hats! I was so pleased to meet her that I asked for her photograph.
I love that blue and white hat. I love that these women cared enough to make and donate hats. And I'm so happy that we got a chance to meet her and say "thank you."

Four boys, four times the cuteness
I typically try to post one entry a day. But I just couldn't wait to post this entry.
Sadly, Baby Chuck won't be able to meet the other boys in our family this Christmas. However, I'm hopeful that one day, all four little guys will meet and play together.

5 magical hours
Today's post is brought to you by the number 5.
Last night Baby Norris (and I) slept for 5 hours straight through the night. Hooray! Will this performance be repeated tonight? We'll see....

Letter to hubby
Hubby went out of town and will be back tomorrow. Baby Chuck missed him so much that he wrote him a letter:

Hi everyone
It's me, Baby Chuck.
Mom's been kind of tired lately, so I'm helping out with today's post. Guess what's new? I've outgrown my newborn 0-3 months clothes and now I'm wearing my 3-6 months clothes. Mom says that I'm getting to be a big boy. She even put me in some big boy pants today.
Uh oh. I gotta go. Mom's waking up and I have to sneak back into my crib before she notices I'm gone. Bye!

Lazy Sunday
What a lovely, lazy Sunday,
when breakfast is eaten for lunch,
and a long-awaited nap helps the afternoon to
slip right by
