9 months

Our big boy is three-quarters of a year old... wow! Charlie is crawling everywhere and putting all kinds of things in his mouth, including Kleenex, birthday candles, and the mail (his favorite). This month Charlie started saying "mama," he learned how to clap, and he got his first ear infection. He is weighing in at a whopping 20 lbs. and LOVING every bite of new food he tries. The Buster's crazy hair makes such a statement everywhere we take him. This week at church our bishop came up to me and said, "Charlie's hair is like mohawk meets static electricity." We love our little man.

I love my Grandma...

... even though this picture makes it look like I am scared of her!! We spent most of the weekend in Monrovia (big surprise). We had a little birthday bash for mom... she turned 54 yesterday even though she thought she was turning 53! She is the greatest grandma. She loves taking care of Charlie and all her grandkids. She insists on changing poopy diapers, feeding time, giving baths, going on walks, and the list goes on. She lives for being a GRANDMA and we are so lucky to have her in our lives.

The OBSESSION...

... SHOE LACES, and anything else that has a string!
