Mondays with Crosby


At 11:24 am, Crosby Fox turned 25 weeks old!!! Have mercy!!! My little man sure is growing up fast. We are LOVING this stage of development. Lots of laughs. Lots of smiles. Lots of talking. Lots of exploring. He "found his hands" this week. He holds in front of his face and stares at them for a bit. Then he sticks them in his mouth and chews on them. He is doing LOTS of that! I have yet to see or feel teeth but he sure is acting like some are working their way up!!!

Crosby isn't the only thing growing around our house! Would you take a look at these...



We went with Endless Summer Hydrangeas for their pink (at least they are in our soil) blooms. A perfect reminder of Finley and Caroline. There are so many blooms and they are HUGE this year. Just to compare, here is our bald headed baby next to one of the larger ones...


Too bad they only look this good for a few weeks. When the temperature gets up in the 90's, as it has done all week, they start to wilt and dry up. I keep saying I am going to cut a few to enjoy inside before they get to that point. But I love seeing them on the bush! I will enjoy them while I can.

Crosby sitting next to Blake like a very, big boy...



On another note...sweet potatoes gave our little one an upset tummy last week. He woke up at 10:30 one night crying in pain, which we have never seen him do before. It broke our hearts.
:( So...we have been a little lax in giving him food. I decided to resume last night and this is how he looked wearing his peas...

After his meal, we headed outside to hangout with Blake while he worked on a very exciting house project!!! More on that to come! But here are a few cute shots of the tiny baby last night...
Still loves his activity mat...
Nugget and Crosby...

Little piggies...
Me getting in on the fun...

We spent a few hours in swimming in Dickson today. This was the first time Crosby REALLY got into the water. He LOVED being in the water!! That should come as no surprise if you have seen the video of him in the bath. He splashed and squealed and smiled!! Too cute. Thanks to Shelley for inviting us over and for saving us with Evan's red cap!!

Oh, your flowers are so beautiful! From a gal who hates to be outside doing yard work, I completely commend you! I have a little window box that is taking all I have, isn't that aweful! Billy will continue to be the yard man at this home! Crosby is so cute, Danielle! I can tell what a happy little man he is! And the pic next to Blake...too cute! Have a great week! XOXOXO~ Jill
