Mondays with Crosby

At 11:24 am, Crosby Fox turned 1 year and 47 weeks old!!! I cannot believe his 2nd birthday is just around the corner. Man do I have a lot to plan for in the next few weeks. Too bad I end up waiting until the last minute to get it done! At least we have a date and invitations picked out. And I have someone that can make a shirt to MATCH the invite. How clever is that!?! Now I just need to commit and order them. I hate committing. What if there is a cuter invite out there? I have issues...

Crosby and I spent the whole day at home. Well, almost. We did run to the bank, take recycling and pick out paper for a birthday banner I need to make. (Yes, Jill...I make them! And you can count on one for Ann Cortner so no worries! And I will give you the number to the cake lady. She lives in C'Town and made your shower cake!) That only took us 45 minutes, tops. Crosby had nap bed head. I had no shower. We were looking good! I just wanted a day here with nothing on the agenda. We could stay in our PJs all day. Time to take a nap if I wanted. And I did. It was nice to have nothing to do. I need to have one of these days once a week. I think I will start now. Kinda like I am going to start exercising at least 3 days a week...

On days we stay home, someone wants to be a fussbucket...

Not sure what that is about. I guess he is bored with all of his Christmas/Birthday toys from last year. Good thing we are about to trade a few things out and add a new things too. Maybe that will turn this half cry/half laugh face into a big ole grin...

This one is growing like a weed...

I am already needing to let out buttons on longalls I just knew would never fit this fall/winter...

And talking. He is saying everything now. Repeats everything. Remembers everything...

While driving on Old Hickory Blvd last night, we had a conversation that went something like this:

Cros: Lulu's house

Me: Does this look like Lulu's road?

Cros: Yea. Lulus car. BuBuddy's car.

Me: Are you thinking about Lulu and GranBuddy's driveway?

Cros: Yea.

Me: What else was in the driveway?

Cros: Tractor (referring to the Kubota he talked GranBuddy in to driving him around on in the dark with the head lights on...)

Me: Was there a dog in the driveway?

Cros: Greta

He is obsessed with his Music Together CDs. He has started to sing a few of the lines which is pretty adorable. We seriously have to listen to 1 of 2 CD's every time we go somewhere. He asks as soon as he gets in the car. "Music? Music? Music?" He will continue to ask until he hears it...

He still sleeps like a champ. We had lots of 4 hour naps this past week. Mother's Day Out days are hard because he only gets an hour and a half. It can make for a crabby boy around dinner time. Good thing dad walks in the door and chases the crab right out of him!

He is confused about this new tree. We had to call out a stump grinder before we could plant our maple. I asked him where his stump went. He said "I nu nu know??" Then he pointed to the ground and said, "Dirt!" That was all he could find. He is missing the stump already...

He isn't a big dance but he decided to bust a few moves before heading down the slide...

He was feeling it for a few seconds there...

Pointing out an airplane in the sky while swinging. He can multitask just like his mama!!!

He literally is changing overnight. We get to see new tricks every single day. I sure do love this stage with my boy. Who am I kidding? I have loved every stage with my boy...
