Cutest. Kid. Ever.

Well, two things are pretty much certain these days: 1.) my baby is no longer a baby, but a LITTLE BOY, doing and saying little boy things, and 2.) he's pretty much the cutest things you've ever seen. This little boy is such a joy to be mom to. I sincerely can't imagine a better kid. He's so very sweet and good natured that it even makes up for the fact that this last Sunday he took off running just as the sacrament was being passed, and Chris and I actually had to run up to the front of the chapel to surround and corral him. Mort-if-y-ing.

Here are some recent pics from my phone:

Some bits about this little guy:

*Loves to spit, thanks to Madagascar, which he calls "way, way" (Move It, Move It)

*"Punkin, punkin!" (It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown) is probably his favorite show ever. Half the day he wanders around talking about "Punkin, punkin." We're trying to get a good video; it cracks us up every time.

*Loves to clean up. If he finds a wipe or a dish towel, he begins wiping down whatever surface is nearest.

*Has an extensive vocabulary for his age, though half of what he says only Chris and I can understand.

*Loves to sing from the primary children's songbook.

*Has loved seeing Grandma Tingey, Grandma Higgs, and Pop-Pop all within the last few weeks.

We spent Chris's fall break in WA with my parents; I've got some great pics but want to edit them first. It was a great trip. Chris and I are so lucky to have come from such amazing families.
