Look at our BIG bouncing baby boy! 

Our favorite things about Leo at 4 months...

Leo growls.  It is perfect that we named him Leo.  Just growl at him, he will do it back.  And he throws his body into it too.  Red faced, flexed arms and all!  This is almost too reminiscent of Laney and has me a little worried that he might follow in her footsteps.  At least I can say I will be prepared.

Leo loves to "talk" and does it all of the time.

His feet are always warm and because he seems to be our biggest baby yet...

they are extra squishy.

Leo loves his mama.  This is my favorite thing of all.

Chuck E Cheese's...Where a kid can be a kid!

This year, my mind is never fully awake.  Sadly, my kids are affected by that negatively sometimes.  For instance, nothing was planned for Crew's big day until the night before.  Luckily Chuck E Cheese was where he wanted to go, so really we were just making his dreams come true!  

Here are some pictures of the fun night!

My favorite thing about the birthday celebration?

Crew following Chuck E around trying to give him a Hi-five,  then "sharing" his coins with the giant mouse.  I am pretty sure that last time he saw Chuck E., Crew was scared to death.  So it was more than cute that he was trying to give him some of his limited tokens to play games with.

See below...Chuck E trying to figure out what to do with the tokens Crew gave him.

I snatched them back and put them in Crew's cup before another kid took them.

 

Daddy Josh came straight from work to get some whack-a-mole bonding time in with his birthday boy!

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Crew!  We love you, our big 4 year old boy!

4 years old

4 years ago in April, these were our kids.

And thanks to some amazing pictures taken by Whitney :)

I can show off how big and handsome our first baby boy has become.

CREW

He is a charmer, isn't he ladies?

I can hardly believe he is 4!

My favorite things about Crew are hard to pin down, there are so many.

Mostly, I love how much he loves everyone and always tells them.

Every day he tells me he loves me, and that I am cute.

He asked what sexy meant a week or so ago, and I told him it meant cute.

He told me again right after that, "Mom, you are cute"

Sometimes he just. can't. help. himself.  You will say no, he hears no, but he just doesn't want to believe it.

He tries really hard to obey, but sometimes if candy is involved...

he just can't. help. himself!

He has a smile that makes you smile back.

He loves to snuggle, more than our girls ever did.

Crew loves interaction and has since he was a tiny little thing.

Crew loves to play Would you Rather, and I-spy in the car on the way to preschool.

He really is the mini version of his Dad.

Crew LOVES "Maney", and I mean loves her.

They play so well together, but Laney thinks he is her son.

She refers to him and "honey" and "sweetie" more than Crew.

Crew looks just like Kadie.  I love that I can look at him and think back at when she was his age.

Lot's of de javu people. :)

Crew is my buddy.  He loves to do anything with me, and he is truly excited about it.  I just might cry when he goes to Kindergarten because I won't have my lovey dovey cheerleader at home as much.

We love you sooooo much Crewser!

Happy 4 years old!!!

Love, 

Dad, Mom, Kadie, Laney and Leo
