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.

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!
