Mondays with Crosby and Jane Claire

At 11:24 am, Crosby Fox turned 3 years and 17 weeks old!!!  At 1:03 pm, Jane Claire turned 3 weeks old!!!  My goodness.  Three weeks have FLOWN by and it is all pretty much a blur!  Crazy!  This baby girl is just precious.  She sleeps most of the time, waking up to eat every 3, sometimes 4 hours.  And then she heads back to dream!  We only get to see those eyes every now and then if we are lucky. She is still in that sleepy phase.  So sweet...

Something happened to the weather this week.  It went from being nice and warm to quite chilly!  For fun, I pulled out this little premie outfit we borrowed from Melissa's Wells...

 Our not-so-premie little girl barely fit into it!  The arms and legs were really too short!  We didn't go anywhere with it on but it was fun to play dress up.  Crosby got a big kick out of it anyway!!  I am pretty sure the next picture proves Jane Claire was not as fond of the idea as he was...

And there is that blasted smile again!!!  He now claims Uncle Justin told him to smile that way!?!  Justin denies it.  I think he actually did but this was NOT what he had in mind.  On Easter, we were trying to get him to smile for the cousins picture.  Justin told him, "Show your teeth!!"  And this is what resulted!  Lovely.  I told Justin I will make sure I teach Harper the same trick when she is his age!! ;-)

We had a visit from the lovely Norman ladies (and babies Henry and William, not pictured).  Jill is another faithful follower.  I have to share her picture any time I can!  Say hello Jill!  It has been a while...

Blake had to work on Saturday.  Melissa brought her kiddos over to play.  Crosby and Margaret always have such a great time together.  They (my guess it was really Crosby's doing) came up with the idea to slide like a train.  Crosby said they "were making a caboose."

Ready!

 Set!

 GOOOOOO...

 OOOOOO....

 OOOOOO!!!!

 Now crack up laughing hysterically!!!

 Miss Moo looking so presh and all grown up!!

 Somebody attempting to hide from the camera.  Of course.

 Then it turned into a fun game...

 Silly kiddos!

On Monday, I dropped Crosby off at school, only to return an hour later for a parent-teacher conference.  Now of course, we all think our children are the best children ever.  But the teachers confirmed it!  Crosby IS the best kid ever!!!! No. I jest.  Sort of.  They did give a great report on our little fella and it just made my heart swell.  He is such a good boy. And not because of anything we did. We just got really lucky!  God blessed us with a fun-loving, outgoing, fearless, social, kind-hearted little boy.  Oh how we love Crosby Fox.  His teachers do too!  There are a few things we need to work on for next year including fine motor skills and potty training.  And I would like to say goodbye to Bubba!!  Looks like we will have a fun summer!

While Brother was at school, Jane Claire and I took a few pictures.  I got a few sweet ones...

Love those little feet...

 Little angel...

 Baby girl perched atop an old tennis ball basket...

We attempted to give Jane Claire her very first bottle tonight...

Not so much...

(hello flash!)  It is not that she refused it.  She just lost lots of milk, which pains me to watch.  That stuff isn't easy to come by!!!  We need to keep working on that I suppose.

Sweet brother and sister.  And, as usual, Crosby doesn't want to have his picture taken!

 Jane Claire at 3 weeks...

Such a big girl!!! ;-)
