Its Been A While

Well, it’s been a while!  I have not been motivated to keep up with blogging or even more terrible, taking pictures.  I guess we have been a little busy!!  We sold our house, moved into the new one and went to the beach for my convention all within a week!  The new house is getting closer to being complete.  Thank goodness for my wonderful mom who has pretty much unpacked EVERYTHING!!  I really don’t know how it would have gotten done without her!  I kind of think it just wouldn’t have, just the thought gives me anxiety!  The priority this weekend is to get everything in its right place, so we can really start to enjoy the place!

During all of this Crawford definitely hasn’t slowed down one bit!  He is taking 7, 8, 9 steps at a time; has one full tooth on the top and working on the 2^nd one!  In the middle of all the craziness a family trip was planned to St. Martin, so that meant I had to get a passport for Crawford in 3 ½ weeks, thankful to report that it came in last night!  Now I just have to remember where I put it.  When looking for Crawford’s birth certificate to get the passport I couldn’t find it (that would have been the 2^nd one I lost).  I still can’t find it, but in my search I did find his original one.  Thank you God for attaching my head to my body!

He is growing into such a big boy!  He is in Size 4 Diapers and wears 12 month clothes mostly.  There are still a few 9 month old things that fit.  He is learning new things everyday!  He now points to my nose when you ask him, “Where’s your nose”?  He plays peek a boo with his Aunt Tinney, but covers his ears instead of his eyes, silly goose!  He blows kisses all the time and makes the cutest MUAH noise.  Here’s a picture of him playing hide and seek with his mommy! 

Not the greatest pictures on the Iphone, but Hey...

And here he is at the beach last week, playing with his daddy.  He once again had a grand time swimming in the pool and playing in the sand and waves.  We did discover on this trip that he seems to have had an allergic reaction to eggs.  His upper lip turned red and swelled right after he ate them.  Then he got some sort of a rash around his eye a couple of days later.  We are headed to the allergist next week to see what it could be.  I pray that he is not allergic to anything, but especially eggs, they are in everything!!

In case I wasn’t sure that he was growing up, I got a call from his Mothers Day Out teacher and we have to go to orientation at the end of August.  ORIENTATION – he is not even a year old.  Kind of made me feel like we are taking him to Kindergarten, although I know it won’t be long.
