Crew is really enjoying his lil life.. Here are a few of his favorite things...
HE LOVES...
...to smile, smile, smile... ALL the time..
...the morning:. 7:00am, he wakes up and is in the best mood. This is Brett and I's new favorite time too. We put his in between us, and just talk and laugh! We all 3 love it!
... standing.. I will hold his hands, and he pulls himself up and stands. It first started with just a few seconds at a time, and then we would get lazy and bend his knees... now he will stand for at least a minute!
...to talk and hear his loud voice. It cracks us up! He coos and goos, and yells and yells:) He loves to hear himself, and so do we!
...to eat... if I have "food" in front of him, he will eat! Even if he just got done with a 4oz. bottle, he will eat:)
... his car seat, stroller and car rides. He never cries when in it, and usually falls alseep within minutes of being in it.
...his Mommy! I have waited so long to be the only one who can sooth a crying baby:) We love to sit and do nothing, and just look at each other and smile!
...his Daddy! Brett is so great with him. He never thought he would like the infant stage, but he was wrong. Brett is so great at making Crew laugh!
.. bath time! It is one of my favorite times too. We have bath time every other day. After the bath, I give him a lil baby massage with lotion. He loves that too!
.. to sing, or at least here his mommy sing. I broke out the Sunday School song book, and sing all the time to him. He laughs, but I wonder if he is laughing at me and my bad voice!
.. to watch TV. I'm not sure if its the lights, the sounds, or that he think The Office and Modern Family are just so entertaining.. but he can stare at those shows with wide eyes!
.. his fingers.. something that he has recently discovered and can entertain him for ever!
Crew does Not like..
..Tummy Time! I feel that he is doing great in a lot of areas, but holding his head up is NOT one if them! When we have tummy time, he whines and I feel like he is saying, "What did I do to deserve this!?"
..being changed into clothes that are too small! I love everything about my chubby, big boy, except for the fact that he wore 0-3 months clothes for 4 weeks! I try to "squeeze" him in some of my favorites, but he isn't a big fan of that:)
