Little man never wants to cuddle so when he decided to lay on mommy for some cuddle time we were frantically going to grab the camera....I mean could there be anything sweeter!? I would let him snuggle anytime of the day if he wanted to but Mister Can't Sit Still never wants to just lay his head down and rest on his mommy so I really love this moment with him!

Crawford-you are a crazy lilttle guy...you cannot stand to sit still you are always trying to look around and sit up and now you won't even relax in your car seat..you are constantly lifting your head off the headrest trying to see what you could possibly be missing but actually relaxing like little ones do...you entertain us so much!

We put C in the jumper and he didn't really know what to think. He feet reached the floor but he didn't even attempt to jump or move he just seemed content with us bouncing him up and down...so we did and we will revisit this fun activity soon!

Brad's parents came over Friday night. It was

our first night out since I went back to work and it was so much easier to prepare to leave him for a little while. I didn't have the same anxiety thinking about getting right home to him because I knew he would take a couple of bottles and that I would be home in time to put him to sleep and I felt so much more at ease. Itr was nice to send the Mathias' off and get to catch up with everyone!

14 weeks!

Oh the crib smiles in the AM are absolutely my favorite...All I have to do is say gooood morning and he's grinning from ear to ear!

After a long day at work...daddy got to come home and find a happy Crawford. He just was cheesing and enjoying sitting at the dinner table with us. I can't get enough of his smiles. Seeing him smiling and happy is the most amazing feeling and it never gets old!

This is C resting on Aunt Cat. He just loves when she comes to visit. Did I mention how much she spoils little C. I kid you not I think she arrived with 20+ outfits for him, a workbench play station and a walker. She always comes with gifts and she just love holding and cuddling C and he loves her spoiling him!

I just love this picture--Crawford and daddy hanging out on their first Saturday alone (mommy had to work her weekend) They resemble each other so much and I just hated to leave them!

We took C out to a Clemson baseball game at Flour Field. The Browns came with and we really just enjoyed a casual dinner and got to catch up. C behaved for about an hour and then he was hungry and ready to go. We had a great time venturing out with him!

This is C sucking on his hand which he enjoys doing these days. He's like man I got caught!

This is how I find C in the mornings. He has been sleeping in his crib for 3 weeks now wahoo! and we have made him a little bed in there by stacking blankets underneath the crib mattress. This way he feels enclosed and safe and he must love it because he has been sleeping for 10 hours + ever since! He always break free from his swaddle usually within the first hour of his sleep so we always find him half wrapped in the AM. Did I mention I loove our video monitor because I can stare at him anytime in the night and watch him squirm and suck his little hand until he falls back asleep. I love him so much!

Ps---something weird has happened to blogspot and I can't post pics and text very easily. I have no idea why the pics pop up all funny and the text isn't where it is supposed to be. Britt=do you know how I can fix this...it's been happening for the past few months and I spend awhile trying to fix it but no such luck?

Well here a some additional pictures of C at 3 months.
He lovvvves his baths. He loves to kick kick those legs and I really look forward to doing some mommy and baby swimming lessons this summer! (I was such a fish in the water growing up and I really want C to be equally comfortable in the water)

Brad's great at giving C baths. He started making sure that C is nice and clean when I work late. We started giving him a bath every night simply because it calms him down and it gives us 30 minutes of peace from his usual fussiness. He really can slide down this little incline so it is difficult to bathe him with him wiggling all aroun.

Here are some bumbo pics. I am just amazed at how soon they can literally hold there head up and sit and be part of the fam at dinner. It's so nice that Brad and I can finally eat dinner together because for awhile one of us would hold him while the other ate. Although I don't get to spend as much time with C these days I seem to just never put him down when I am with him.

Look C can now sorta play in his exersaucer. Notice how his feet don't quite hit the floor so he can't quite bounce in it yet. I get on the floor and make all the animals jump at him and play the music and he stays quite entertained.

Love you little Crawford and all the happiness and joy you bring to our lives every.single.day!
