They're Getting Married!!

Yes you read it right! Uncle Ryan and Soon to be Aunt Casey are getting Married! We are so excited!!! They got engaged this past Friday!!

Gobble Gobble - What a long day but Thankful Day

We left our house at 9AM for South Carolina for Thanksgiving Lunch! We had so much fun seeing everyone! Crawford chased all of the girls and Josh around. He was not fast enough to catch them but that didn't stop him. Below are a few pictures from our stop in S.C before we headed to Asheville for Dinner.

Crawford and the Girls. Not sure if he is too excited about this Picture!

Josh is now in the picture

Crawford waiting for someone to give him five!

Thanks Josh

Family Picture! My eyes are closed but its hard to get a picture of a group this big and all of the other pictures Crawford is flipping out in!

Family Picture and Crawford did not want to be part of it! It was Nap time!

Uncle Adam Playing Soccer with the boys

Finally a Nap! He fell asleep putting Cheerios in his mouth! We were on our way to Asheville for dinner!

We had a great dinner in Asheville with my family! It was so good to see everyone. Crawford had a great time playing and the food was so good! After a great dinner we headed back to Winston! (Yes we Know! We are Crazy!) Too much traveling in one day, especially with a 1 year old! He Cried for at least an hour on the way home! But we enjoyed seeing all of our family that we do not get to see too often! Next year Can everyone bring food to our house???

Below are a few pictures at my Aunt Vicki and Uncle Gary's. Sorry, I didn't get a picture with them. Crawford was not in the picture taking mood!

Can someone please take me for a ride in this wagon?

Mommy, Crawford and Mimi

Forgot his eating seat so Crawford had two Picnics!

We had Thanksgiving at Jacob's Granny Doby in Winston on Friday. We had so much fun and it was nice to visit with everyone. I forgot my camera!!

New Boots

Crawford got a new pair of boots this weekend from Walmart :-). I am not a big fan of Camouflage but Jacob often reminds me that Crawford is a boy and it is OK for him to wear it. So I broke down and bought Crawford these boots. Trust me they were cheap...I would not have spent good money for them but they are cute and he loves them. For the record I bought him his first pair of Sperry's last week and they are adorable! He loves them also! So one day he is a prep and the next a country boy!

The Picture below is right after his bath and we had not found his brush yet! So excuse the hair! Can you tell by his big smile....he likes the boots!

Crawford is learning so much I feel like I could write everyday something new he has learned. I had to share the two new things he is doing. When you ask him what a cow says, he says "oooooh" He just can't get the M part! He is also learning please in sign language. He hasn't got it yet but we can tell he is trying b/c he makes a funny motion with his hands every time we say it but it's just not exactly the right motion. He will do it over and over again! Oh yeah, and if you know Crawford you know he loves to blow kisses. Well I am not sure if him blowing kisses is as sincere as we once thought it was. Lately if he is scared and wants to leave he starts blowing kisses. He starts saying bye and blows kisses. At Uncle Ryan's today we were looking at a deer he started clinching onto my arm and kissing at the deer. I don't think those kisses were kisses of love but rather kisses goodbye! :-)

Were looking forward to visiting all of our family over Thanksgiving. We can't wait for everyone to see how much Crawford has grown. I know he is going to have fun playing with all of the kids. Last time he was with them all he could do was crawl. Now he will be running after them! Probably falling a lot but trust me he will be running!

We hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving. We have so much to be Thankful for! We are truly a blessed family!

Having fun with Uncle Ryan and Casey

Uncle Ryan and Casey Came over to visit today. Uncle Ryan just got back from a hunting trip. Since he was wearing his Carhartt's we thought it was appropriate to put Crawford in the ones Uncle Ryan got him! Since he was ready for bed I just slipped them on over his PJ's.! The fit perfect. Crawford had so much fun playing with them. He went straight to sleep when the left.

Worn Out

This morning Crawford had so much fun at Jymboree. He did not stop running. He was all over the place. He has so much fun there! He is such a ham! He runs all over but really does not know how to stop, so of course he busted his lip but it wasn't too bad and he never even cried! He loves Jymbo the Puppet. He runs up and hugs and kisses him every time he sees him! After Jymboree we came home and played some more and then ate lunch. I turned around and Crawford was fast asleep! I guess he was worn out from playing so much!!

It's almost Gobble Gobble Time

Crawford wore his cute Turkey Shirt today that Meredith at The Pink Poppy seed made him.

I updated the post below with pictures! For some reason they did not show up earlier this week!

14 Months

Wow! I can't believe Crawford is 14th Months! This time last year I was heading back to work! Oh how hard it was to leave Crawford! 14 months later and he has changed so much!

We had a great weekend! Not too much planned just a lot of playing and relaxing a little (at least during Nap Time). Crawford is really starting to come out of his shell. His is so funny and I think he knows it. He laughs all of the time...well except for the few times he pitches a fit when he doesn't get his way! Man he really knows how to pitch a fit these days! But for the most part he is all smiles! He is still blowing kisses to anyone he sees. He is no longer walking but is running everywhere but he sometimes is not too sure how to stop. He has me worried sick he is going to get hurt! I can't tell you how many times I have saved him from going head first into something! He has no fear!! He does listen well and I know he comprehends the word NO. He just is selective as to when he will listen or pretend like he doesn't hear us or he will look at us, smile and go for whatever we told him No for and then will laugh!! It's amazing to see how much he has learned. He is picking up new words every day. Yesterday when I asked him if he wanted to go outside and play he jumped up and ran to the door. I was so surprised he knew where to go. He loves playing outside! He gives the best hugs and kisses and he likes to give them to Molly at School! This week he said Shoe and pointed to his feet when I was putting his shoe on. He has learned where is Tummy and nose is but he would rather tell you where Mommy and Daddy's nose is and pull on it as hard as he can. He loves books! He still wants to take one to bed with him and pitches one of his fits if I try to slide it out of his hands. He has become very independent and does not want any help especially when it comes to eating. If he could only get his spoon going in the right direction I wouldn't mind that he wants to feed himself! :-) He is growing up before our eyes so fast! I feel like we blink and he has already changed.

Below are a few pictures from the weekned.
