This Week's Happenings

Well little Crew is now 4mos as of the 18th. He is as handsome as ever and such a GOOD little guy. I couldn't have asked for a better baby. Some of his new accomplishments include:

-grabbing his feet and trying to suck on those little toes

-laughing and giggling without being tickled

-talking almost shouting when he just wants to be heard

-rolling to his side

-taking his binki out of his mouth, examining it (no success with putting it back in:)

-getting super excited when he sees his binki or mommy's 'milk jugs' right before a feed

-he can now use his hands to pull on his little toy that he used to use his feet

He loves to hold soft things and put them by his face such as blankets, clothes, whatever. To get him to sleep he has to have his blankie by his face (so cute but sometimes scary as he occasionally pulls it over his face and can't get it off. I have to keep a close eye on him when he's napping.)

Here he is holding his very cute burb rag (thanks Becky he LOVES it:) he will hang on to it and suck on it better than a toy. This particular day was pretty hot out so instead of a blanket he cuddled with his burb rag. I wish I had a picture of it but I didn't want to wake him up. Some cute girls in our ward. On Sat Kate and Lehi hosted a fun BBQ at their place. It was a great time with food, friends, and swimming. Even though it was raining a bit the kids still had a blast in the pool. A candid snap of the party.

My little 4mos old baby! And sweet Cara in the background. (She's just a month and a half younger than Crew.)

I had to get a picture of my yummy cinnamon rolls. They turned out pretty nice and I'm proud to say I didn't go home with any leftovers. . . although with a dozen kids that's pretty easy.

I thought this was a pretty funny pic of Jer. . . not sure what face he was making but it kinda reminded me of a vampire???

In addition to Crew turning 4mos he had to go in yesterday for his 2nd round of immunizations. It's been a sad past two days as he has had a slight fever and just not feeling well. I got some good cuddling in since he didn't want to be put down, but it was still so sad to see him sick. Poor think he's got drops in his eye and medicine for the fever. Anytime I lay him down and lean over he closes his eyes and mouth, worried that I'm going to be putting something in them, once he realizes the coast is clear he gives me a big grin or a giggle. Cute little dude.
