Crawling by Noon Tomorrow?

This is where I put Charles:

Then this is where he was a few minutes later...

...and a few minutes later...

 he tipped it over!

This video is especially fun :)

I'm Scooting (in first person)

Dad carried me yesterday when we went for a walk. The berries aren't quite ripe. In this picture I'm fast asleep under Mom's hat.

 I'm going to show you how I play with toys!

 First I have to reach them. Sometimes I need help with that.

 Then I cuddle them! Of course, the mouth is the final goal.

I've been seeing more interesting things these days. Sometimes Mom and Dad put colorful things in their mouths to chew and swallow--I'm working on getting some of that stuff but so far they've been too quick. We go on walks outside and I have felt nice wind, leaves, grass, and cedar and fir sprigs. I like to grab the hair on the little friend who runs around, or on Daddy's arm. I also like grabbing Mom's nose. Toys are fun. Sometimes they are too far away so I'm working on moving myself to get to them. It's hard. Video time!

Sherwood Forest

A few weeks ago we went to visit the Fletchers in Oregon! Here are some older cousins: Jaydon, Marie, and Celeste playing with funny jewelry. 

Here are two more cousins: Juliana and Clara (we all came to see Clara's blessing) with their moms. This is out in the forest behind Grandma and Grandpa's house, where we made a fire.

Here is cousin Will.

Here are most of them together looking sweet after Church. Little does Charles know he has another cousin, Kaeli, who we get to see in September! 

Someone smaller than me?! Is it possible?

 She's pretty sweet.

 Later we celebrated Grandpa and Celeste's birthday, which is on the same day.

Charles in pajamas, with a hat to keep the sun off and keep warm as it got late. 

 Roasting Marshmallows! 

Charles making a funny face while cuddling with uncle Nathan. He had been happy... He got lots of cuddles from aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents.

It was so much fun!
