Crawford,
I don't even know where to begin to explain all the fun and laughter you have brought to our lives over the past 2 years. We wake up each morning feeling soo grateful for our sweet, happy, and healthy boy! You have changed so much in the past year. You looooove trains. Anything that goes "choo choo" is right up your alley. You also like any mode of transportation and will say "airplane", "bus", "truck", "boat"..I guess we are finally seeing that your are indeed all boy! You are just so happy and energetic. You wake up happy and you are still so full of energy at 9:00 pm. You love puzzles and can put them together faster than we can. You would play outside every second of the day if we let you. You love helping us do whatever we are doing (ie loading and unloading the dishwasher, making coffee, doing laundry, sweeping, driving...whatever we are doing you are right there with us)
You really started talking more and saying words mid to late Novemeber. Your favorite words are of course mommy, daddy, nani, bom-paw (you just started "y" to all of our names and it's hilarious). You can pretty much say any word that we ask you to. You say "love youuuu" now which we adore. You know all your colors, you know shapes, you know every letter in the alphabet and can recognize it and say it. You will smile when we say "cheese" now. You laugh and clap at the end of tv shows. You love "hotball" football and "bakball" basketball. You are so content when someone is just playing with you it just doesn't even matter what it is.
You are a great sleeper. You have been taking a 3 hour nap most days for the past few months. I guess you just wear yourself out! You go to sleep between 9-10 and sleep until 8-9. We normally do bath time, then read books, watch mickey and go to sleep.
You are a picky little eater. You usually eat french toast, pancakes, or oatmeal for breakfast. The rest of the day is always a toss up. You will eat yogurt, fruit, bread, pouches, pizza, and chick-fil-a...everything else is a hit a run on the day. I hope you branch out and start eating better next year :)
You wear a size 4 diaper, size 7 shoe, 2t-3t depending on the outfit. You are a cuddly little boy. You will come lay on mommy or daddy and watch a tv show and we just love this down time with you.
You just brighten our days! When one of us gets home from work we here you racing downstairs or smiling from ear to ear and it's the best welcome home each day!
You don't like sitting still. This means running errands and sitting still to eat any meal is pretty much non-existent.
I love watching your personality shine each day. Whether you are laughing at us as we try to entertain you or you're saying "mommy mommy" after bath time when it's time to cuddle we can't get enough of your happiness. It's so contagious!
