8 Months

I'm posting this almost a month late, but better late than never! Our little stinker bug with a double chin is starting to babble up a storm! He loves to join in on all of our conversations. He isn't very fond of solid foods yet. From the moment he sees the spoon coming his way he closes his mouth and turns away and refuses to open. We have to trick him into opening his mouth by trying to make him laugh! He just has NO interest anymore! But he is still nursing just great! He STILL loves reading, and exploring outside. We are getting to know all the little kids who live in our complex. Whenever we go outside, they all come running and say "Hi Crew!!" and each take turns tickling his feet and letting him hold their fingers. He is loving the summer time!

Some Videos

Here are some videos from the past month or two. I finally stopped procrastinating and uploaded them so here they all are in one big post. Enjoy!

May Photo Dump

May went by super fast, considering it was super rainy and we couldn't go outside as much as we like to! Here are a few of our favorite pics from the month:

We LOVE the sun!

Look at that cute little booty!

My sister in law had a booth at the Beehive Bazaar this year selling some artwork. We had to take a pic in front of it!

We had this giant bowl of startburst and Crew loved putting his hands in it and feeling them all and then picking up as many as he could and throwing them out.

Just being cute one morning

We started taking him to the library every week because he loves reading so much! He was fascinated with the stained glass window

At Tucanos for Jon's birthday dinner

And cake and ice cream at the Baxter house

6 month shots

Examining a lady bug on a walk

Our little shopping helper (I promise we don't just get junk food).

We also started him on solid foods when he turned 6 months. Oatmeal is his favorite food so far.

We saw a gigantic rainbow one evening. This picture doesn't even begin to do it justice! It was HUGE!!! We wanted to get closer to get a better picture, but it was Crew's bedtime

My sister keeps saying he looks like Piglet so we took this picture for her. She said their cheeks look exactly the same.

My baby brother, Brigham, graduated from Mountain View! The last sibling!! I couldn't make it to the graduation since it was right at Crew's bedtime, but I snuck over and decorated for him instead.

He loves those feet!

7 Months

This little Prince is 7 months old!!! It seems impossible to believe. I've told the last 3 people that have asked how old he is that he is 6 months, before realizing that he isn't anymore. Time is going so fast, and I haven't really processed that he is actually 7 months old now! It just doesn't seem right. He still loves to read! We go to the library once a week now to get new books for him. He also really likes hearing us make animals sounds (not sure if it is because he is genuinely interested in them, or if it's because he likes hearing us make fools of ourselves). Whenever we are on a walk or in the car and he starts to complain, I just start making animals noises: "The cow says moooooo! The cat says meow, meow!" etc. or singing Old Macdonald had a farm, and he quiets right down and listens intently. He can sit up on his own very well, although he really doesn't like to do it very much. He still prefers to feel someone sitting right behind him. Little stinker. And over the past few weeks he has discovered that if he drops a toy, it is usually picked up for him. So he drops toys left and right! He drops things from the carseat, his high chair, even the stroller. He must think it's hilarious to see us chasing after the toys as quickly as we can before they roll onto the street, but at least Jon and I get a good workout! That's our little smarty pants!
