Growing like weeds

Here are a few pictures taken just after Crosby was born ...





And then I blinked and he grew and changed and looks and acts like such a big boy.



Crosby was 16.5 lbs at his 4 month appointment



And like his big brother, Ryder, he is a big fan of eating!


Hudson and Ryder on their last day of Mother's Day Out before summer break.  Hudson loves learning and school and meeting other kids.  Ryder is still warming up to the idea, but he's getting there.  They both know how to write their letters and Hudson can write several words and his name with no help from Mommy.  Darren gave Hudson a little calculator and he loves learning about addition.  He picks two (small) numbers and we figure out what the total should be on paper and then he checks the answer on his calculator of course ;)  Ryder loves music and cars.  He has memorized every word to all the praise songs on his bedtime CD and many of the songs we listen to on K-LOVE.  He can recognize many songs by the first few notes and tells me to turn it up because he wants to sing along!

Mia, DanDan, Clay, Cigi and MaMa all came over to visit us in Midland on Father's Day weekend.  Cigi and Mia painted a baseball on Hudson & Ryder's bedroom wall, while DanDan, Clay and Darren worked on our backyard sprinkler system.  And Crosby loved spending time with his great-grandma!
