Mondays with Crosby

At 11:24 am, Crosby Fox turned 3 years ad 10 weeks old!!!  School pictures came this week.  We think they are pretty cute, minus the fact that his face looks a little wider than it is?!?! Hmmm.  After last week's post full of pictures, I hate to say I failed to take the camera out of the back in the past 7 days.  Slacker.  Thankfully, Blake was a good parent and snapped a few pictures of the little fella on their fishing trip.  They went to the Harpeth River on Tuesday to see what they would catch.  This is the first picture text I got...

Crosby actually reeled in his first fish!  He even held the slimy thing in his hands!  Needless to say, he was proud of himself!!  Don't you just love the sunglasses on the overcast day?!?  He has has been all about his sunglasses lately, wearing them at the most random times.  Oh he makes me laugh, this boy.

So the second text comes through..

Oh dear.  This was not supposed to happen!  Sure, it has been warm around here the past few weeks.  But this water was definitely cold!  And my child is waist deep in it!  Blake says he told him not to get in the water "but he did anyway."  From the look of things, Crosby was no worse for the wear.  I suppose this is another moment of "boys will be boys".  It should be interesting adding a girl to the mix... ;-)

We got the headboard for Crosby's room this week!!!

I love it!  We still need to hang things on the wall to add finishing touches.  That will happen one of these days.  For now, I couldn't be more happy with the way his room turned out.  And I am thrilled that he is doing so well in his big boy bed.  He has yet to climb out without us in the room!  I am sure the day will come sooner rather than later.  But for now, he is adjusting like a champ.

We have made lots of progress in Baby Girl's room too!  Window treatments are up.  The bedskirt is on. The sheets are in place.  Lulu found a dresser at the flea market and has it painted!  I haven't seen it in person so I am excited about that!  It is all coming together beautifully!  I will have to post pictures when we get a few more things in place...

As for Baby Girl's progress, she will stay put 2 more weeks according to my FINAL fetal fibrinectin test from Friday!  That gets us 3 days shy of 36 weeks.  Basically, when Crosby was born!  We are seriously in the home stretch.  Crazy!!  I have my last scheduled ultrasound this coming Friday.  I am looking forward to taking one more peek at her before we see her face to face.  Well, that it is she cooperates!  We shall see...

Back to my little man.  He absolutely LOVES to sing.  He picks up on the tune and words so quickly.  Coming from someone who knows very few songs in their entirety, I am impressed!  He doesn't quite have the words down for this old hymn just yet.  So he just made them up and sings his version!  See if you can figure out this old hymn...

He is pretty much obsessed with the Avett Brothers these days.  Oddly enough, we didn't even know who the Avett Brothers were until Blake and I were given tickets to their concert back in the fall.  Bake's coworker made a CD for us so we could hear a few of their songs beforehand.  Now that is ALL Crosby wants to listen to.  His favorite song is Tin Man and he knows every single note and word!  He loves watching their live performances on You Tube and has started adding in their dance moves into his routine.  He really goes wild in the second half of this video.  Hilarious...

He now combines the head banging moves with the dance.  Eyes closed like he is seriously feeling the music.  I will have to get that one of these days.  What a hoot this boy is.  I am one lucky momma...
