GROWING UP

Crew is growing up before our eyes!  I've noticed when we are out and about I get a lot of people mentioning how small he is, keep in mind they are comparing him to their 3-year-old.  To me he is not so little anymore considering he was 6 pounds 2 ounces when he was born and now he's probably pushing 17 pounds! 

Just this week Crew has matured into two new phases... stranger danger, and mama's boy!  We were at Ryan's company party and several people wanted to hold him.  Within seconds he looked back at Ryan and I then at the person holding him and got big alligator tears along with his pouty lip, which was promptly followed by a cry.  Oh I was hoping he would by pass this stage.  It makes me sad to see him so nervous.  I hope this doesn't last too long.  As for the mama's boy phase, my mom started noticing he tries to get my attention by doing this little cough.  Sure enough, he does it at home too.  He's totally trying to get my attention.  Might I add, he sure loves his daddy too!  They have so much fun together.  Ryan has been doing the elephant noise and action for months with Crew and just recently he has picked it up.  Now he makes the elephant noise and will sometimes do the arm motion with it.  It is so cute!

Crew also hit a big milestone this month...he is sitting up by himself.  We don't dare let him sit unattended, but he can sit for quite sometime before toppling over.  We are so proud of our sweet Crew boy! 

I also love how people notice what an amazing baby Crew is when we are out in public.  He rarely puts up a fuss, he's very easy going and loves to smile and laugh.  I ask myself all the time...how did we get so luck?!  Oh, and he sleeps through the night!  He's been doing so since he was 3-months-old!  I hope our next baby is just as sweet and good!


 Once in awhile he likes to help mom out and hold the bottle!


 Our little stud!  Haha I've got to get the sunglasses pictures while I can!
 Sitting up like a big boy!  I love his hands!  Everyone tells us how big his hands are.  They are big, and I love the dimples!

 His two favorite people dad and mom!
