Crewson is 4 Months

My.. oh.. my how time flies when you're having fun! 

Our baby boy, Crewson Michael is 4 months old.  I've said it before and I am sure I will say it again but this past month has been fun.  Crewson is rolling from side to side and some how "spinning" on his play mat.  I will lay him down one way and come back to find him the opposite way and sometimes on a different side.  He is grabbing and holding toys now and almost always putting them in his mouth.  He is taking full advantage of all his toys that he is spoiled with thanks to all of you.  He plays on his mat, his rocker and now his "exersaucer" and a walker.  

We're getting lots of oohs and ahhs these days.  He is such a "ham" giving lots of smiles and smirks. He is quickly becoming a total flirt.  Crewson loves long baths, reading with mom and dad, strolls around the farm and anything on a tv screen.  Like most men, he will watch a tv show or video on our phones until we turn it off.  He especially likes music and Doc Mcstuffins.

Unfortunately our relaxing car rides are over for the time being.  We can hardly run errands these days without screams and cries from the backseat.  Restful nights are still few and far between.  Crewson will sleep but usually only with mom or dad or short naps in the rock and play.  He was sleeping on his stomach in his crib until he learned to roll over which now wakes him up.  Honestly, these days sleep is overrated and we roll with the punches as they come.  One day we will sleep again. 

Little man is weighing in at 15 lb 4 oz and 26 inches long. 

His blue eyes are still baby blue and that blonde hair is only getting blonder with the summer sun. Speaking of summer, we recently fit in yet another beach trip and plan for another trip down next month.  I am determined to have a beach baby that loves the sand and the waves like his momma. 

We're looking forward to soaking in the month of May and can't wait to celebrate his cousin Kingston's 2nd birthday at the end of this month.  

Crewson 3 Months

Our little boy turned 3 months yesterday! On one hand it's hard to believe that he is already 3 months old but on the other hand, we have fit so much into those 3 months that it honestly feels like it's been a bit longer.  We've been to the mountains, Disney World, the beach and now a quick trip to the lake.  Our normal days are, of course, much simpler.  We usually wake around 7am and start slow.  I have the privilege to stay home with Crewson so I get to focus a lot of time on playing and enrichment with him outside of the time I spend on chores and running errands; sometimes those just don't get done. 

Crewson is really starting to show his personality.  He's started to watch ceiling fans and bright lights and will even follow us across the room.  He especially likes bright colors and has recently shown interest in our cell phones and television.  We now have to strap him into his rocker because he scoots himself to the bottom and almost out of the chair.  Just this week he has really started to "talk".  He will coo and ahh and make all those precious baby noises.  He loves to grab things now and hold things in his hands which inevitably end up in his mouth.  A good friend of ours gave him a small puppy blanket and he has fallen in love with it.  It has become a small treasure that he has to have when he goes down for a nap.  

I absolutely loved the newborn phase and I will never take those sweet snuggles for granted but I am really excited for this next phase to come.  I know things will only become more interesting when I am chasing a crawler around and then running after him in the front yard.  He's beginning to roll from side to side and if his kicks that began in utero are any indication of what type of mover he will be then we will be chasing him soon enough.  

He is weighing in at 13lb 13 oz and those baby blues are blue as can be and his blonde hair is getting blonder.  

He is simply a joy to have and we love getting to see his new endeavors and excitement each day.
