It's Past Time

Crawford, I'm sorry I've been slacking the last two years on posting updates about your life, but I'm going to try to update the world on what's going on with you and your new baby brother or sister growing in my belly a little more frequently.  We'll see... I know that's what I said the last time.

Crawford, you are 34 months right now and a ton of fun, although listening is certainly not your favorite activity!!  We just got back from Turks & Caicos for the 4th of July and I think you spent more time swimming than sleeping.  You absolutely love to swim and start lessons on Monday.  You already stick your head under water for several seconds and kick those feet, so I can't wait to see what you learn next week.

You started school full-time in June and I think you are enjoying it.  Most mornings you do tell me, "me not gonna cry momma."  It breaks my heart, but the teachers say you have a blast with all of your friends - Lincoln, Miles and Luke are who you talk the most about.  You are apparently kind of quite at school, which baffles me!  You have to give me five hug and kisses each morning right outside your classroom.  So sweet!!  You're pretty particular and like order, maybe a little OCD - time will tell.

We love you so much and are having so much fun laughing at all of the new, funny things you say to us:

• Aww Man!
• Who turned the hot on - when we got outside at Whole Foods one afternoon (Louisiana Summers)
• Me see pigs at the Farmers Market - when I told you we were going to the Farmer's Market
• You give the "cook" a round of applause at dinner and say, "good dinner!"
• What you eat for dinner, Tin Tin - pretty much the 1st thing you ask everytime you talk to her

Some of your favorites right now:

• Favorite Color - Orange
• Favorite Toys - Firetruck, Memory, Bubbles, Cozy Coupe, Tractor, ANYTHING Outside
• Favorite Shows - Jake & The Neverland Pirates, Little Einsteins, Cars
• Favorite Foods - Butter Beans, Tacos, Pizza, French Fries (real healthy, I know)
• Favorite Treats - Smarties (Ms. Pat treat) & M&M's

You are about 36 inches tall and weigh about 32 pounds.  Overall, you are a healthy, little boy who is quickly growing in to a big boy, although you tell us, "no not yet!!"  Perfectly fine with me!
