getting ready for summer! - Love, Crosby

Thank you Grandma Lonna for the sweet shades. I have not yet mastered keeping them on yet, mommy said we have a lot of practice ahead of us. They are extra good at keeping the camera flash out of my eyes. I guess I better practice, mom said there is a lot of pool time in our future, whatever that is. She said it's a lot like a bath and I LOVE bath time! Please come down and go to the pool with me soon. Love, Crosby

our little valentine

What a sweetie! We had a great Valentine's day/Daddy's birthday. These pictures were actually taken the day before due to an un-welcomed visit to the dentist for mommy. Auntie Katie made C this super sweet little V-Day T! She looked so cute! Thank you Auntie Katie.

Here is Crosby and her cheese ball grin with daddy.

Crosby and mommy love.

A sweet family photo. I love these two so much!

off the carpet...

Umm...she is getting more and more mobile each day. Crosby was brave this weekend and ventured off the carpet. (Gasp...from Mommy)

She slipped around a little, but for the most part did a great job at getting to where she wanted to get.

Baby Dedication

On February 5, 2012, we dedicated Crosby to God at church. Even before she arrived, Crosby belonged to God, the service provided at our church was a special way to announce it. She was such a good baby all through the service, she even gave a huge grin to her pastor. We met elders from the church in the front, they prayed with us and gave us two special gifts. One gift was an official certificate and the second was a super sweet tiny pink bible with Crosby's name on it. It's really a sweet memento of this moment in her life.

Grammie and Papa also made the trip from MN to be apart of Crosby's special day. Those family members that couldn't be in Texas with us, were able to watch the service live online. How special! Technology is AMAZING and I am so thankful for it!

Trouble...

Watch out world, here I come!

Silly Faces Love, Crosby

Sometimes I make a silly face that makes mommy and daddy laugh really hard. It's super easy to do. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Suck in on your top lip

2. Look very serious




See? Easy! Did I make you laugh?

Love, Crosby
