Only fair

If you remember awhile back I told about the time when Mike let Crue fall off the counter.  Unfortunately, the day I hoped would never come did.  I feel it's only fair that I record the time I let it happen.  It all started when I put his bumbo on the counter, so that I could feed him his fruit.  I stuck him in it and turned my back for about two seconds. Somehow Crue managed to wiggle out of it and was just sitting on the counter.  Mike and I were right there and I said to Mike, "Oh my gosh I can't believe he just got out of his bumbo! We really need to watch him." Well apparently in the 10 minutes it took me to feed my child I forgot about this new little trick.  I had just finished feeding him and was throwing away the jar when I heard the crash.....oops....that's right...he fell off the counter.  I felt horrible. Maybe worse than horrible because, like I said about 2 seconds before, I knew he could get out of the bumbo but I guess I just forgot.  Can I blame that on mommy brain?? Anyway I must say I am very thankful that Mike had previously experienced this fiasco because he was able to check Crue's eyes and the bump on his head and assured me that there wasn't any damage and that we didn't need to take him to instacare.  So now, thanks to some neighbors who were no longer in need of a high chair, Crue has a safe place to eat.  I have posted some pictures below to show that for the most part we do watch our child and he's normally a pretty happy kid...except for when his parents make dumb mistakes that result in him being injured.

(Mike just pointed out to me that him sitting there by himself on the frog wasn't super safe... wow we really can't be trusted alone with our own child)

While at the aquarium Crue's favorite thing were the alligators and Aiden's were the piranhas...these boys worry me

He's excited!!

Finally in a front facing car seat!

Crue LOVES his puppies

Playing quietly! Yay! This is happening a little more frequently now and I must say it feels like I've gotten my freedom back

I don't know why he is so unhappy in this photo..he's getting snuggles from his mom! What could be better than that?

This kid puts EVERYTHING in his mouth

Here he is screaming because he wants more coke...I think we may have an addict on our hands...

(honestly though I really don't give him that much)

Halloween

This year we dressed Crue up as a robot/alien...not really sure exactly what the costume was suppose to be, but hey, it was cheap.  Well Crue didn't like it so my mom gave me my brothers old pumpkin costume and he LOVED it! He even kept the hat on! We were going to go trick-or-treating with neighbors but since the weather was so crappy we just visited family and friends.

This is for you Gena!

I can't believe I haven't put up any video of my little guy walking! Thank you Gena for requesting that I do this!  Crue's been doing this for a little over a month now. He pretty much walks everywhere but if he falls he has to crawl to a piece of furniture to lift himself back up.  He hasn't quite mastered how to stand up from a sitting position yet...but we're working on it.  The funniest thing about him walking is he is so tiny that it just looks weird.  He's only 10 months and in the lowest percentile for everything so you can image how small he is.  Whenever people see him walking they laugh and comment about how cute it is that such a little guy can walk. I must say it is pretty dang cute! We were with some friends on Halloween and they have a little boy who is a little older than Crue and about a head taller who can't walk yet. To see these 2 together was hilarious!  Crue was walking around the house and Carter just watched him go!

and just for fun here is some video of Crue dancing! Normally he dances for a lot longer without stopping but I used the ringtone on my phone and whenever he sees my phone it's like everything else in the world disappears!
