Making a splash

This weekend we took Crosby for his first swimming lesson and he did great! Colin swam with him yesterday and was the only dad is the water! (I think the other moms were impressed) I sat by the pool and was taking pictures left and right. I captured some pretty good shots!

Crosby was a little apprehensive at first, but soon realized that it was a giant bathtub and started enjoying his time in the pool. By the end of the class, the instructor was impressed by how relaxed and natural he was in the water. Move over Michael Phelps, here comes Crosby Pote! :)

Ready to Go

Learning the Strokes

Loving it!

Happy Father's Day!

                  Love, Crosby

Our little doughboy

Got this picture of Crosby from my sister this weekend. Hilarious!

Gave Colin and me quite a chuckle so I thought I'd share.

My new best friend

Those that know me, know how much I love everything clean and organized ! If you asked, I would probably list cleaning as a hobby. (I know, I'm sick)

So when my husband decided to buy our house a Dyson vacuum last weekend, I was beyond excited!
Some people get excited over a new bag, a new TV, a new car, but no, this OCD clean-freak girl gets thrilled over a new vacuum!

I spent the whole weekend, you guessed it, vacuuming! This thing is amazing! The amount of dog hair and dust this thing collected is really gross, but yet so incredibly gratifying.

I even took a picture of this beauty!




















Do I need to seek help???

7 months!

So I think this is a clear example of how my blogging has been lacking. We are already to Crosby's 7 month post, one week after his 6 month post. Mama needs to step it up!


Crosby,

My little man! Here we are at 7 months and what an adventure it's been!

You seem to be getting so big, but compared to other babies we know, you are a little nugget. You are in the 20th percentile for height and weight but in 95th for head. No wonder you seem so big, that head is getting in the way. You are our little bobble head!

You are becoming more inquisitive by the day and always seem very interested in what others around you are doing.You love watching mama fold laundry, dad shave, or grandma help make you a bottle!

You still don't have any teeth yet which is fine with me. I love your gummy smile, but we are keeping our eyes out for one to poke through.

You have become a bigger fan of the bath (we didn't know that was possible) and you get a little fussy when it's time to get out! You love splashing around and playing with your toys. We signed up for swimming lessons and we are excited to start next week.

Your girlfriend, Sophie has been feeling a little neglected these days because you've discovered a new toy which I don't know if I'm that thrilled about- my iPhone! I'm hoping it is just the lights and colors that have peaked your interest and that you aren't going to be wanting a phone at age 2! We shall see!

I've started making you foods in the baby food maker and I'm pleased to say you've eaten everything we've made so far. This week I'm going to make you avocados and asparagus. It's exciting to see you liking these new foods.

You've also developed new nicknames this month. I call you little nugget or nugget and your auntie Kelly now calls you Crosi-moto. I wonder how many you'll have by your first birthday....10, 15 maybe?

As your parents, our opinions are pretty bias, but we are amazed at how strong your legs are! You love standing and have even taken a few steps, but with holding someone's hands of course! Here is a video of you attempting to walk. (That's crazy Auntie Kelly's voice cheering you on!) We have a feeling once you start moving, you aren't going to stop.

You definitely keep us on our toes and we are loving every minute of it!

XOXO,

M&D
