Before I Forget...

I created this blog to journal about our family but it has been 6 months and I have hardly any posts on Crew!  So this post is so that I can remember the milestones and things that I am sure one day I will forget...and to put his 3 month photos up (even though we are taking his 6 month photos this Saturday:)).

Milestones:
1. Rolling over - the night before he turned 4 months (February 22, 2012).  He had been doing the half roll since we brough him home from the hospital but it wasnt until I picked him up from school that on the 22nd that he did a full back to front roll (I know, they are supposed to go front to back first).  I walked in as his teacher was picking him and putting him back on his back... I missed it by merely seconds!  But when we got home he started rolling all over the place:)

2. Sitting up - 4 1/2 months.  He started sitting without support 2 weeks after he turned 4 months.  By the time he was 5 months he was pulling things to him and we didnt need to put pillows behind him "just in case" (but we still do:))

3. Eating - we have started food!  We started cereal at 4 months and now that he is 6 months he has had avocados and carrots... he enjoyed both.  He also loves to suck water out of a straw.

4. Teething - we are drooling, gnawing on everything, and running low grade fevers but have yet to breath a pearly white through... any day now I am sure!

Likes:
1. Jumping - whether you are holding him or he is in his jump-jump, Crew jumps ALL OF THE TIME and loves it.
2. Briggs - Crew cannot get enough of our dog!  He thinks that little fuzzy thing is the funniest thing he has ever seen.  Briggs is a little more aprehensive about Crew.
3. Being tickled - Crew is so ticklish and just laughs and laughs whenever we pull out tickle fingers.
4. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse - when I get ready in the mornings I turn on MMC to keep Crew occupied and it keeps his attention the entire time
5. The guy from Blues Clues - I think Crew sees a resemblence to his dad... he finds the Blues Clues guy wildly funny and has lengthy conversations with him in the car in the mornings
6. Other children - Tanley, the kids in lifegroup, and kids at school... Crew loves watching other kids.  He watches them run, he talks to them, and occasionally he will try and eat their arms:)
7. My iphone - I dont know what it is about my phone but Crew LOVES it.  I show him pictures, Buddy will let him watch as he plays game, and I will even play music on it... Crew loves looking at it and putting it in his mouth.  I will be going to buy an Otterbox soon:)

3 Month Photos (well some of my favs)...
