Mallory & I made some chocolate chip cookies tonight after dinner (for a special freat); I handed a little piece over to my baby and left him alone to go do some cleaning or organizing or whatever. I checked back in and this is what I found.

I keep forgetting to write about how this little stinker can climb the stairs. We have the gate set up at the bottom of the steps again but if we forget to close it, and Carson sees that it’s open, he STREAKS to the stairs. He will scramble up the first little step to the landing and usually he’ll turn around to look to see if anyone saw him. Either way, he then quickly starts up the stairs. He can make it all the way up and I only get nervous if he has droopy pants on because then his feet get tangled and he slips. But I still don’t feel comfortable letting him go at it by himself.
But apparently when my mom was watching them, she couldn’t figure out how to lock the baby gate and got busy with Mallory and only found Carson upstairs because he was banging the cabinet doors in our bathroom. My mom will be getting “baby-gate-at-the-bottom-of-the-stairs” instructions the next time she is over.
Carson looks just like you Samantha in the bottom picture. Same thing with Hope. She looks just like Stefanie except with brown eyes.
