Matt's washing Charlie's hair after his second bath at home. He did such a good job! Charlie really liked it and didn't make a sound the entire time. He screamed during the bath part, though, which is probably our fault. I think the water wasn't quite warm enough. Lesson learned for next time!!
The Rustand Three. Love it!
Our sweetie in an outfit that he got from his friends Avey and Peanut. Thanks, girls!
Matt has become a stellar swaddler! I'm not lying when I say that anything Matt tries to do, he does well at from the very beginning. Even this! He's teaching me how to do it, too.
Again - what's with the rotating pics on blogspot?
Doesn't Charlie look so long in this picture? He's so skinny!
Charlie's modeling his going home outfit!

Coming home from the hospital! Charlie didn't like the carseat at first, but calmed down once the car was moving. I think that's pretty typical! We came home on Tuesday afternoon. I was discharged on Monday, but Charlie had to stay another day at the hospital since he had lost so much weight. We all stayed at the hospital (motel status!) and came home together on Tuesday. Our 8-pound, 2.9-ounce baby dropped to 7 pounds 6 oz., but it probably now back up a few more ounces.
As crazy uncomfy as this looks, he seemed to be ok.
First bath! We decided to go ahead with the bath on his first night home since he had three blow-outs on his first day home. Yuckie. We needed to clean up his sweet little cheeks!
Matt took the plunge and got right in with Charlie. Since it was super difficult for me to bend over and get down on the floor (though I did it!), Matt got in there and helped hold and bathe our little guy. What a trooper!
Charlie tried out his new swing this morning - even though his parents forgot to buy batteries for it. Oops! We pushed it like you would push a swing at the park and it worked just fine! He seemed to really like it. Who wouldn't? The constant motion is so calming.
