Can you tell he is squealing?


It's hard to get them to pose together.

Playing get you is sooo funny!

They love looking in this mirror. I personally avoid it!

Crawford is a little parrot. Although all his words are not clear he tries to say most of what you ask him to. He said A dn and Ash n today. One of his favorite words is mmiillk. Maw......is more. He calls me Na. Grace says Na na na na. Ought.....is hot. NuNuNu....no no no. Of course Dadda and MaMa. G it.....is get. He loves to babble and play I am gonna get you! So cut!

Today (1/5) was the first day I notice Crawford dancing to music!

December

Trying to climb the gate to get up the stairs!



It is amazing that everyone is looking at the camera at the same time!

Some how he got hurt so Gracie is feeding her big brother gold fish to make it all better!

I heard a whining cry and this is what I found.... He was stuck and could get out and ran for the camera before I came to the rescue. LOL!

Torturing Papa!

Swinging with Papa!

Look close...she has 4 teeth now!! Finally!!

His hair has gone to..........curls!

Grace has started walking again. Friday she started taking a few steps when she thought no one was looking but has continued to keep trying....as long as you don't force her. This video was taken today (Tues. 15) and I managed to get a few steps on video. She took much more when the camera wasn't rolling!!

Crawford and Grace turn 1 year old!

Getting some Papa love!

October

My sweet little lady bug!

My loveable little lion!

The power of television!

October is a bit of a blurr. They are both taking steps. Crawford doesn't think about it he just does it. Grace is very deliberate and has to work up the courage but is steady when she does. They are climbing like crazy. Stairs are a blast. Crawford is getting good at sliding down stairs on his tummy. Both are very good eaters. Grace swallows before the next bite and Crawford like to pack it in before he will swallow. Halloween was fun but they were ready for bed about the time trick or treating started.

Playing in Nana's flower bed

She didn't mind him sitting on her lap.

Playing at Nana's

Go Texans!

Visit from Uncle Scotty

Watching baby Einstein at Nana's

If I look tired it because they kept me up most of the night but I had to get a picture of us all in our Texan gear!

The day before Grace got sick.

Hi all of my blog followers and sorry I can't seem to get a routine going with the blog. I kept notes for several days but now that I am ready to make a post the notes have disappeared.

The first of the month I went on a trip to L.A. Crawford had a very runny nose the weekend and through Monday the 4th. He got over this cold very quick.

I am continuing to chase them around trying to keep them from getting hurt. At the beginning of the month one side of Gracie's forehead had several bruises. She throws her head forward a lot. She seems to be learning her lesson and not whacking her head quit as much. Right now she only has 2 mosquito bites on her head.

Tuesday the 14th Grace woke up with puffy eyes, itchy and runny nose. She took several longer naps that day and looked like she felt bad. Wed. the 16th Mel took her to the Doctor before we left for a trip to St. Louis to visit the in-laws and go to a Cubs game. Turns out Gracie had an ear infection.

They are eating solid food now and Grace shakes her head no to most baby food from a jar. Crawford says Dada now. Thursday the 16th Gracie said YEAAA and BaBa.

They love flipping, bathing, climbing stairs and eating! Car rides and walks are fun too! Pictures to come soon.

Thurs. 24

Usually for morning bath I bring them to their room to take off PJ's and then close them in the room while I run the bath water and then take them to the bathroom where I rip off the diaper just as they are diving in the tub practically. Well.... this morning I had one on each hip up the stairs and set them on the floor of their room. Before I could shut the bedroom door they took off crawling to the bath tub and both were trying to dive in. They allowed me to run the water and take pj's off with only a little fussing. They do love bath time!!

Monday 28th

New word for Gracie Uh Owww! Mr. is say DaDa to everything!

Peek-A-Boo with Nana & Who says toys are more fun than playing with the news paper!
Notice the sound she makes when playing with the paper. Sounds like she is gasping for air! She loves to scare me!
