Month #3 Covered in Pee

So April was the month that everything started to come together. Everything my husband and I had planned was turned upside down and we had to adjust. For instance, we lived in a one bedroom apartment. A roomy, one bedroom apartment, but once Charlie came and we actually had another living human being in the house, we realized everything we had setup was stupid and needed to be fixed. In our living room, we constructed his play yard because it had a built in changing table. In our bedroom, we put the bassinet. Well when the play yard was just getting filled with everything (diapers, stuffed animals, clothes, toys, etc.) and Charlie was almost too long for the built in changing table already, we needed to move stuff. We bought a long dresser to house all the clothes and blankets and put a changing pad on top.

I wish I wouldn't get frowned upon for saying this, but that changing pad was a life saver when he was that small because we did the ultimate parent no-no, we left him up there while we did stuff. Now, we weren't constructing a lava pit on the ground below the dresser, or even so much as running to the restroom. But, when he would lay there and stare at himself in the mirror, I would easily leave him there while I put his clothes away. Or even while I snapped a hundred million pictures of him. Case in point:

One more awesome thing, Charlie learned to roll over. There was definitely some trial and error, but it made for great footage.

But finally:

(Yes, I am a master video editor. Don't mean to brag)

So yeah, he pretty much nailed it. Best day ever because my child actually did something that required him to use his brain, AND HE COMPLETED IT. My son is a genius!
