Mondays with Crosby

At 11:24 am, Crosby Fox turned 1 year and 7 weeks old!!! We weren't expecting to spend the day together. It was supposed to be my first full day of work. Non-orientation work, that is. Mother nature had other plans...snow! We didn't think it would be safe for Lulu to drive up this morning so I had to call out on my first day back! Let me just say I did not mind staying put with my little man. And what a man he thinks he is...

I'm not sure who he was talking to at this point. This may have been when he tried to call and check up on Margaret...

It never fails that his chubby, little thumb manages to hit the unlock button every time. Unfortunately, this leaves it possible for him to text or call whom ever he pleases!!! "Hello?"

"Awww. That was her voicemail. She must be napping!"

Just like his mama, he forgot the mail doesn't run on President's Day! Fortunately for him, his mailbox is INSIDE the house. His mama didn't remember it was a holiday until she was OUTSIDE, freezing her tush off...

When I looked in the backside of his mailbox, I saw the sweetest thing...

It was Crosby making his way over to Nugget, who was resting peacefully at the bottom of the stairs...Are they adorable or what?

I kept trying to point out the snow to Crosby. Every time I did, he would point to the vehicle parked on the side of the street and say, "Caaa." Still obsessed with motor vehicles! He doesn't seem too impressed by the snow anymore. Much like his mama. Though I am thrilled it allowed me to spend the day with him! Am I really going to be able to work a few days a month???

Crosby has a stubborn streak going right now. He is holding out on you BIG time! As of last Wednesday, Crosby took his first steps!!!! We have tried and tried to get it on video, but he flat out refuses. Right now, he will only do it when he wants to! Cameras and Flip Video cameras are not allowed! So you will just have to take my word for it. The most we have seen is 7 or 8 steps on Sunday. It is usually just 2 or 3 steps before he drops to his knees. My guess, he will be running in a matter of time. Let him take his time. Fine by me. It just allows me to continue along in my state of denial. "Heavens no he can't walk!!!! He is a tiny baby..."

The other mess on our hands is this head of hair. Good grief. What do you do with hair at this stage? Do we start using real shampoo and conditioner? We are still using the baby stuff. And let me go ahead and say that gel and hairspray are NOT options!! :)

Granted, the hair in back went haywire after his nap. But the top always seems to stick straight up!

Hey, at least there is hair to stick out in every direction! He could be bald!
