Weekend with Mimi

This past weekend Jacob and I went to Gatlinburg with a few friends. Crawford stayed with his Mimi and they had so much fun! We had a great time and it was so nice to sleep in a little. It was so nice of Crawford to decide to sleep a little longer while he was at Mimi's. Crawford will be 14 Months this week! He is learning so much and changing day by day. The most recent things he is doing is signing for More. He has been able to say more but now he signs more as he says it and if he does not get more quick then he starts signing as fast as he can as if he is going to get it faster if he does that! It's the cutest thing ever! He also is saying "Thank You". He says it after we hand him something. He will say "Tank Choo". It is so cute when he says it and I was so surprised to hear him say it.

Crawford playing with My old toys. He loves them.

Wearing Daddy's Coat

Crawford spent the day with Grammy today and had a great time. It was such a beautiful day.

Below is a picture Grammy took today of Crawford in Jacobs Coat and Hat. Too Cute! Crawford looks just like Jacob as a baby. I will post some pictures next week for you to see for yourself!

Last week was picture day at daycare! Below is my favorite!

Strep Throat and Plenty of Kisses

4 Days of Crankiness and at least a couple dozen kisses later.....we find out Crawford has Strep Throat! I took him this morning for his flu shot. We were just supposed to see the nurse for the shot and then be on our way. Thankfully....Crawford's Crankiness and my lack of sleep was getting to me. So I decided maybe I should ask to see the doctor and hopefully she could tell me something. I was convinced he was just teething! That's what I tell myself every time he gets cranky b/c it feels like they are constantly getting new teeth and I know it must be painful! So I figure he must be getting his 1 year molars! Well I could have not been more wrong! I asked the doctor to look at his ears just to make sure they were OK. With all the Ear problems we used to have I always panic thinking the problems are back! No Ear problems they were crystal clear! Thankfully!! So then I mention the teeth thing! She looks around and says well I guess they are a little swollen but not much...but he does have white patches in his mouth. So we took a strep test and it was positive. My heart sank! I felt horrible. My little baby has probably had this for a few days and I had no idea. No fever or anything. So needless to say I got to have a well needed day off with my sweet little boy and I so enjoyed it! I think he did too! I think he was finally happy his Mommy finally understood what he was trying to tell her. He was sick and that is why he was cranky! Luckily they gave Crawford a shot and we were on our way. No having to keep up with taking medicine everyday! We came straight home, well after meeting Grammy for Lunch and Ice Cream. I could not help but treat Crawford to some good cold Ice Cream to his little soar throat! It was the least I could do!! (well actually Grammy treated us! Thanks!) After a very long nap we played all afternoon.

I have mentioned before that Crawford is such a kisser these days. Blowing Kisses and Real Kisses. Well he is picky who he will give a real kiss to but he blows kisses to EVERYONE! I think it is his way of saying hello! He gave me at least 20 real kisses last night before I knew about the strep! :-) Well today I asked him to give his Elephant some love just seeing what he would do! Little did I know he would kiss every animal in the room (more than one time). So I guess they all have strep also!! Below are some cute pictures of him in action!

Crawford Climbing and a little Dance

Crawford is climbing all over everything. He is into everything! On Friday night before bed, he climbed right up on the ottoman and stood right up. It amazes me how he figures out how to get on and off of the ottoman. He knows that he has to back right off.

Halloween Weekend

Friday Crawford had a Halloween Party at school. He LOVED the food! If you can't tell from the picture! He tried to steal other kids food! We had a great time! Halloween night we visited a few friends in the neighborhood to show off Crawford all dressed up and then headed home to to grill out with friends and hand out Candy!

On Saturday I went to the Women of Faith Conference in Greensboro. I went with my friend Jayne and had such a good time. Grammy took Crawford to Gymboree. I know they had a great time and Crawford showed her all the fun things he likes to do there. He really loves it. That might be where he learned how to climb so well! I know Grammy and Crawford had a good time spending time together. Pamela and Skylar visited and were able to capture the picture below of them! Crawford is on one of his favorite things!

After Gymboree Crawford was all Jacob's for the rest of the day! It sounds like they had a lot of fun. They even cleaned the house! Then they headed over to watch football with the boys! Unfortunately I ended up being sick the rest of the weekend (that's the reason for a lack of pictures). Jacob was so great and took Crawford out so I could get some well needed rest! I know Crawford had so much fun with his daddy this weekend and I enjoyed coming home to a clean house! I might do this more often!! :-) Jacob said it was a piece of cake!

Welcome to your New Home Uncle Adam

Uncle Adam moved into his new home on Friday. We stopped by to see it and Crawford helped him do a little unpacking! We wanted to make sure it was baby proof so we could drop Crawford off Real soon with Uncle Adam while we grab some dinner! :-)
