Okay ... so it's technically week 5 1/2 happenings, but with Thanksgiving, we won't be around for the actual 6 week update.
Charlie may be nearing the end of his massive growth spurt. He's slowing down on guzzling his 6oz bottles, and he sometimes isn't finishing them. I weighed him last night, and with our questionable scale, he's at about 13 pounds! The newborn clothes have been cycled out (and are ready to share with Aunt Amber!), and bigger clothes have been laundered and are ready for him (0-3 months). He did me a solid last night: he was up from about 3:00pm until his bedtime bottle, around 8:30pm. He downed 6oz and laid down for the night around 9:30pm, finally falling asleep around 10pm. He didn't squeak until 4:45am. Nearly 7 hours of sleep! Hopefully that's a sign he's nearly sleeping all night. That would be the greatest Christmas gift!
We also did our family pictures Wednesday. We're awaiting the link, and I'll have it up instantly (you know that!). So be sure to check back soon.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving week! It has been a long year, and we all do have so much to be thankful for. Enjoy family, friends, and delicious food!
What can I say: Girlfriend likes makeup!
Charlie's got no neck, but he does have two chins! And both are adorable!!!
HATS are the BEST!
Headed to Marshalltown for family pictures. We all loaded into my tiny car: Charlie in the car seat, Andy in the middle to give him a bottle, and Carter in her big girl seat, loving on Daddy. Is it possible that we've outgrown the Neon?!

Good Gracious, Charlie! I hope you don't weigh 13lbs. HAHAHA! Chunky Monkey!
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. We have much to be thankful for as always.
