Life as a Stay at Home Dad

We've been back in New York for a week and I've started my life as a stay-at-home-dad.  All I can say is that I have been very busy.  Every day something is happening.  Perhaps it'll quiet down as I get into a routine.

Charlie and Daddy in the morning.  Charlie needs a bottle and I need a shave.

Yesterday's big event was Charlie's first doctor's appointment.  He had a required check-up before we left San Antonio, but this was the first time his pediatrician, Dr. Gunduz, saw him.  I am happy to say that everything checked out.  I knew that he had put on weight, but I was surprised at how much.  He went from 6lbs 7ozs at birth to 7lbs 12ozs yesterday.  All that weight appears to be in his cheeks.

He also grew 3/4" to 20".

Charlie is now staying awake for longer periods, letting us see his big, beautiful eyes.
