15th November

Charli does things once, just once and she has it down packed! So after rumaging through some drawers, and leaving a trail of mess it seemed the opturtune moment to broaden her horizons and explore the unknown terrain of the kitchen cupboards. Nothing is safe now!

14th November

One day, soon i'm sure, you will no longer be able to stand under my desk. You are growing too fast!

13 November

After all of our guests left, the portacot remained 'up' to prevent Charli chewing the cord while I vaccuum. My gosh, this child! She is the funniest little creature i've ever met, distracting me with her silly smoosh faces and finding herself quite the comedian.

12th November

Now, Charli has never used a dummy. I never wanted her to have one, until one baaaaad night...and when I wanted her to take one, she absolutely flat out refused it....until now that is, when one ends up amongst the toys. Happy as larry, merrily sucking away whilst exploring. So it seems Charli likes to occasionally indulge in the dummy...but only on her terms.

8th November

One of Charli bears favourite places. If she see's that door open, whatever she is holding gets tossed or dropped and full speed ahead with a hand slapping crawl. 

Monkey's be climbing

Oh, she climbs now too! I turn around and look who is in the pantry.
Yesterday there was a suitcase conveniently placed next to the coffee table. A little Charli monster assumed this was meant as a 'please use me to climb on to the table' gesture. Never underestimate a baby!

Baby Hoover

Since this cherub has starting crawling, she has also started eating anything and everything she finds on the ground/in the cupboard/any where within baby reach. Now this nutritious diet may consist of dirt, fluff, dead insects (not yet successfully consumed), paper, tissues, food crumbs and much more. Now I am not the biggest fan of my baby hoover, so the real one needs to come out much more frequently, and Charli loves it. I honestly wonder if her master plan is to pretend to eat floor treasures just so Mummy gets the vacuum out, meaning she can chase after it trying to eat the power cord and push buttons. Just tonight while we were out for tea, I saved a dead cockroach from being consumed by one infant and tackled said baby who really just wanted to eat a bobby pin. On.My.Toes!
