Update

Crue is 11 weeks old and is growing up so much. I sometimes wonder what happened to my tiny little baby! A few things that Crue has started doing lately: talking, playing with his tongue, hitting the toys that dangle from his play mat, smiling whenever we talk to him, sitting up in his bumbo (he's actually been doing this for awhile) and basically just being a pretty good kid. He doesn't cry too much and when he does it is usually because he is tired. He has been sleeping 9-10 hours every night since he was 7 weeks old which I really appreciate! The dogs have also been really good with Crue and I'm so thankful for that because there is no way we would be able to get rid of them. Although we just encountered a little situation with Shrek and I'm hoping that it doesn't happen again! First of all I must say that Maggie is always really careful around the baby but Shrek doesn't really seem to care if the baby is there or not. He jumps over the baby and whips the baby in the face with his tale all the time (Crue doesn't seem to mind this, but I do). Anyway, when we got home from St. George and picked the dogs up the moment they got home they started rampaging through the house. Poor little Crue was just laying on the couch minding his own business when Shrek "accidently" jumped on him! Crue just stared at me like "mom how could you let this happen", then his bottom lip starts to curl (he's not crying at this point just looking at me with the saddest eyes) and then a few seconds later the screaming started. I felt horrible. It didn't take long to quiet him but it broke my heart. There he was an innocent bystander to the craziness around him when all of a sudden he was attached by a big black furball! I'm not too worried though, I know Crue will get back at him when he's older :)

St. George

We were lucky enough to go to St. George again with Mike's family. I was able to find Crue the cutest blessing outfit and Mike had a great time golfing. Crue is such a great little traveler too, he usually sleeps when he is in the car. I didn't take many pictures this time but here's a few:

until next time...

Our other little boy....

I went to put Crue down in his crib and when I came back this is what I saw:

I think that he is craving a little attention

Check-up

My handsome little man had his 2 month check-up today! I can't believe it has already been 2 months. It seems like he's been apart of our family forever because we can't imagine life without him! He weighed 11 lbs. and was 23 in. long which puts him in the 38% for weight and 58% for height and his head cir. is 5%. He also had to get 2 shots and it broke my heart to see him scream so hard that he couldn't even take a breath. The weird thing is that this blood curdling scream lasted about 2 seconds and then my little boy fell asleep! However when we got home he would cry every few minutes and the times that he would quiet down he had angry eyes that wouldn't stop, but once we got him in the tub those angry eyes disappeared and my funny little boy was playing in the water and sticking his tongue out! If only I could keep him in the water forever....or at least until the pain in his legs goes away!

Angry eyes
Happy baby in the tub


Below is Crue compared to Mags. The first picture was taken his first week home and the second one was taken a few days ago. He has grown so much!!

I love you Crue-boo!

Road Trip!

Mike's family just got a townhouse in St. George, so two weeks ago we went down to get out of this crappy weather (unfortunately it rained the ENTIRE time we were there so it was kind of pointless to leave here)! Mike and I decided to go down early so we could spend a day in Vegas to visit family and shop. We left on Wednesday night and Crue was so good! He slept the whole way down which was great. When we got to Vegas we left Crue with Great Grandma and Grandpa George and as you can see from the pictures below Crue had a great time....Grandma probably not so much! I didn't get any pictures of dinner with Eni and Devon but we loved visiting with them and hope they come stay with us soon! Then maybe I can convince her to have a baby....
When Mike's family got there us girls went and got amazing massages! The boys were going to go golfing but the rain ruined their fun. We did eat at Don Pedros which is a favorite of ours, I recommend it if you are down that way! On the way home we met Grandpa and Grandma Waddingham at Chilis! It was great to see them since we don't get to very often.
The best part about finally getting home was we were able to drop Crue off for the night at Mimi's house so we could get a good night's sleep....of course she gave us back our dogs....I guess that's a fair trade! :) Thanks for the fun times everyone! Can't wait to do it again! Crue getting ready to go to Vegas

Crue loves his Grandpa George

Poor Grandma..she just bought that sweater!

Crue got lots of attention from his Grandparents

I wish he hadn't been cranky the whole time!

On the way home I think he had finally had it with his carseat
