Little Crawler!

Well at 4 1/2 months my little man decided he wanted to start crawling! He was just getting up and lunging forward now he goes all over the house...backwards:) He will roll all across the floor too it is so cute. Now we just needs to work on going forward. I can't believe how soon he started! Here are some pictures.

Charlie's Latest....

He dumped an entire bottle of juice on his new white shirt...had to wash it with Spray and Wash 3 times before it all came out. Emptied the entire contents of the meat and cheese drawer into the garbage can. Made a "Choo Choo Train" out of all the condiments in my fridge on the kitchen floor. And feels the need to strip down to his birthday suit at least 2-3 times a day. Last night I went to check on him before I went to bed and he was sound asleep...butt naked! I ran and got Jack cause it was just too funny! It could have been a real mess though so I am super glad I checked on him. Any advice on what to do with this adorable child is welcome:)

"Mommy make a MESS!"

This is a phrase I have learned to fear! Charlie is getting into all kinds of things lately and he is very honest when he makes a "mess". I will leave him watching a movie or playing with toys to go get something done and a few min. later he is coming to me, "Mommy make a mess!" I tell him to show me and he guides me to his latest disaster. I will share a few examples....about a month ago he came to me covered in silver marker. He had found a silver sharpie and colored his entire body, the couch, the wall in the basement, and his toy box. Luckily it all came out and the marker went in the garbage. A few weeks ago...and this was totally my fault...he took a small cup of nutella chocolate and covered himself in it including the bottoms of his feet and walked all over the couch, covering it with tiny brown footprints.

A couple days ago he found a brand new bag of fish crackers and dumped the entire thing all over the kitchen table and floor then proceeded to stomp on all of them. Here he is in time out for that one.



Then the cherry on top was Grandma Lucy's house on Saturday. We went down for family pictures and an early Thanksgiving dinner with Uncle Craig and he locked himself in her bathroom, shoved two towels in the toilet, and tried to flush them. The whole bathroom flooded so bad the water was GUSHING through the floor into the basement! What am I going to do with this child?!!! It's a good thing he is so cute! Pray that I can go at least a week without hearing the phrase "Mommy make a mess!"

Happy Halloween

This year Charlie was Nacho Libre because it is sadly his favorite movie right now. It is really funny to hear him ask for Nachooooo! Little Nick was in his little Halloween outfit and we went to the ward Trunk-or-Treat. Sadly to say it was a little disappointing...we went through $18.00 worth of candy in half an hour and that was it...LAME. Oh well, Charlie thought it was cool to go with his friends and get candy from people and that's all that matters:)





Charlie's friends, Big Isaac, Dallon, Little Isaac, Alyssa, and Sadie.
