7 months ago in anticipation of the super bowl, this was our little who dat baby:
and this is him now:
Charlie will be 6 weeks old on Saturday and I can't believe how fast he's growing! We've been getting little smiles here and there but yesterday was a day full of smiles! We definitely have our hard days but when he gives me a big gummy grin, it definitely makes it all worth while. We had a really really difficult day earlier this week. Charlie refuses to sleep sometimes and after 13 hours of barely napping for more than 5 minutes at a time, he was a complete miserable little screaming monster. There was absolutely nothing that Dennis or I could do to console him and we both felt defeated. A friend recommended 2 songs to me that she used to listen to during the hard nights. One was "It won't be like this for long" by Darius Rucker. It is such a sweet song and so true but it's about a father and his newborn little girl so it didn't hit home quite as well as the 2nd song.... "If he's anything like me" by Brad Paisley. All I have to say is, holy crap I'm glad I didn't hear that song while pregnant. I don't think my crazy, insane pregnancy hormones could have handled it. I can barely handle hearing it now! I listened to it first thing in the morning laying there with Charlie and looking at him sleeping so peacefully after the exhausting day we had before and just cried my eyes out. Never has a song had more meaning than that one and I knew Dennis just had to hear it. Anyone who knows Dennis, knows that he was definitely a troublemaker growing up and it has definitely crossed our minds many times about what kind of craziness we will have to look forward to with Charlie.
I figured the best way for Dennis to hear the song was to make a little video to go with it.
Here it is:
