MN Trip: Up North - Love, Crosby

We'll howdy from the Land of 10,000 Lakes!

What and adventure.  Mommy, daddy and I flew on a plane to come and help Auntie Leanne while she was in the hospital.  (More on that later.) While we were in Minnesota, we road tripped it up to see my Grandma and Grandpa in Floodwood.  While we were there, we saw LOTS and LOTS of family.  Grandma and Grandpa even arranged a fun party for everyone to come and meet me. Mommy got to catch up with old friends and to show me off.  Those are her words, not mine.  Here are a few pictures to show you just some of my adventures. WARNING: mommy got a little carried away with the whole picture taking thing. There are A LOT of pictures to follow!

Love Y'all!

My new furry friend...

Just don't get to close...

Ah...way to close!

Thanks Grandma Lonna for saving me!

The weather was perfect for a walk.

I love my Grandma!

The cupcakes for my party.

All my fun cousins and friends who came to help me celebrate.

I'm 1!

Yep, that's right, 1!

See I'll show you!

Daddy did a great job looking at the camera.

Re-hydrating before another trip down the hallway.

Grandma's puppy Raymond.

This was a fun toy.

I love my Grandpa Tim!

 

My 1st Mother's Day

  What a special day!  Crosby and Tim really blessed me today.  My day started off by sleeping in until 8am!  I woke up to coffee brewing and Tim making breakfast, talk about a lucky momma.  After some sweet cuddles from Crosby, she hand delivered my Mother's Day cards and gifts.  Miss C bought me a pedicure and manicure (daddy must have helped her) and Tim got me an hour massage at a day spa!  Yippee!  The two of them also bought be a beautiful arrangement of flowers!  Blessed. 

After church Crosby and I both took long naps, we both felt a little crummy.  My allergies have been acting up and we think Crosby is getting another tooth or two. She ran a low grade fever all afternoon and was super duper cuddly, which is not like her at all. 

Tim cleaned the kitchen, took care of all Crosby's meals and nap times, washed , folded  and put away the clothes, bought groceries, made lunch, picked up dinner, and took care of me!  What a wonderful day despite not feeling great.

I hope all the mothers out there had an equally awesome day!  Happy Mother's Day!

 Thank you Crosby for making me a mommy.  I am honored and blessed to be in this very special club.

11 months

Love, love, love this age! Miss Crosby is a whopping 11 months old.  She is full of personality and spunk, just like her mommy!  

Boy this little lady keeps us B-U-S-Y.  She just decided that she no longer wants to crawl, it's just to slow.  Crosby is now a walker!  Walker-Texas-Ranger-Walker.  She is lighting fast and always on the go. 

Another big milestone this month, she cut an eye tooth.  So, to date she's sporting two bottom pearly whites and one upper.  There are two more just waiting to say hello. 

Crosby can also show you how big she is....soooooo big and then clap for herself!  Love it! 

11 Months Y'all!  Love me some baby cheeks!

And this cute little belly!

She is one smiley little lady.

Cheese-ball!

One armed so big.  Ha!

We love you so, so much sweet girl.  It's hard to believe that in just a few short weeks you're going to be one!  Where does the time go?  Love You!

Just a Little Something I've Been Working On - Love, Crosby

Mommy wanted me to share what I have been working on.  I just couldn't wait until my first birthday....Oh yea, I also popped out my 3rd tooth. Hope to show you my sweet walking skills in person soon!  Love you, Crosby

April in Review

The family at Easter 2012

Crosby and Mommy - Crosby's 1st Easter

Daddy and Crosby - Crosby's 1st Easter

Hands are always in her mouth.  Plus she's showing off her skill of standing.

She was not happy in this super cute dress.

What's that?

Everything must go into the mouth.

I am getting a lot braver.

I love to walk around and around and around the couches.

Look at me go...must hang on....

Love her!
