This little man has reached the point of no return. He’s BUSY, he’s active, and he’s ALL BOY.  He has us wrapped around his little finger…and for good reasons (look how cute he is!).  BUT the last few days have been tough…here’s why:

He peruses thru trash cans.

Empties out cabinets.

Had the laundry cart topple on his head.

Stands on the hearth of the fireplace (stone).

Was playing with the water in the toilet.

Emptied out one of his wipe boxes.

Was pulling files out of Derek’s church bag.

Was shaking the baking soda box onto the pantry floor.

And took all of the shoes off the shoe racks.

And yesterday after his nap he took his pants off and threw them out of the crib.

I really do watch him.  🙂  But up until now he would just kind of "hang out", play with toys and let me get some things done.  NOT ANYMORE!  He’s super curious and in to everything.  The only time I can count on getting things done is when he’s napping, and yesterday’s total napping time was ONE HOUR.  Yikes!  I’m in trouble!

And here are some notes for me, so I don’t forget:

He’s learned how to go DOWN the stairs, feet first, sliding on his belly.

He mimics our inflection on almost everything…one of our favorites is when we nod our heads and say "yes, yes, yes" and he copies us with "ah, ah, ah" in the same tone.

I’m teaching him to buzz like a bee, and he loves it.

He’s starting to like books and will sit and listen (as long as you’re fast and the book is short).  But what he REALLY wants to do is empty the book shelf on his own.

We have women at church who come sit by us every Sunday in hopes of getting to hold him during Sunday School and Relief Society.  He’s like a magnet.  And I’m sure the fact that he’ll lay on their shoulders, say "cheese" on demand (big cheesy smile) and sit quietly on their laps is a big plus.

He’ll walk pushing something (his wagon outside yesterday).  And will walk holding our hands too.  I think he’ll start to go on his own soon.

He’s a climber…boxes, low tables, you name it.

He loves to sit in front of the bucket of balls up stairs and pick up every one.  He loves balls.

He also loves cars and will make "vrooming" sounds, a trademark of all our boys…we never even have to teach it.  They’re born knowing how to "vroom"!
