He's a big boy!

August has been a big month for him thus far. He gave up the bedtime pacifier earlier this month and is now using the big boy potty. We definitely haven't mastered the potty yet but he's doing great for the first week without diapers. He doesn't seem to have any issues actually using the potty, it's just that he doesn't want to leave toys/friends behind and go to the potty. He picked out some Diego big boy underwear which he's proudly wearing around. Crosby brings so much happiness and laughter into our lives.

Don't you love the little froggy potty?

Funny Moments by Croz.....



-We hear/see lots of planes fly over the apartment daily. He told me one day "Mommy, I hear a plane. It SOUNDS like it's going to the airport."

-One day when Kelby was flying in from a trip, Crosby pointed out a plane in the sky and announced that he saw Daddy's plane. I smiled and said "maybe." A minute or so later, he looks at me all worried and scared and asked "How Daddy's plane get down?" I reminded him of all the planes we've watched take off and land and that the pilot is driving Daddy's plane down to the airport. Now when Kelby's gone on a trip, Croz will talk about Daddy and the pilot riding on the plane as if they're best buds and it's just the two of them on the plane.

-While playing with Papa's red and white model car, Crosby asked "What is it, Papa?" Papa replied, "It's a 55 Chevrolet Bel-Air." Crosby thought about this for a minute before shaking his head and said "Noooo, it's a car."

-I was trying to give him his cough medicine in the middle of the night when he put both hands over his mouth saying "No, no, no, no, no, no." I tried to pump him up telling him that it tasted like grape kool-aid and grape pollipops when he said very seriously and half asleep "No, it doesn't Mommy."

-My favorite....randomly, for no apparent reason, "You're a good mommy, Mommy."

-And then later that day, "You're a good Maxie, Maxie. You're a good dog. I love you, boy." Still very sweet, but it would've been better if he hadn't followed up with the same line to the dog. :-)

-While I was returning something at Target, Crosby was enjoying playing on the registry computers. He made his way to the printer and started asking for paper. After a few minutes of him shouting "where's the paper?" I told him "you have to tell the paper to come out of the printer." I turned around only to hear him shouting into the printer (yes, head pushed as far as possible into the printer) "paper, come out!"

-Crosby saw Kelby chugging some Pepto Bismol and he started yelling "No Daddy, that's for girls!" We looked at each other a little puzzled and then realized that Crosby must've been referring to it's color...pink! :-)

-Last night, we took our daily trip to the lot to see the framing progress. Crosby walked right up and said "OH MY GOODNESS! HOLY COW!" It is pretty impressive to see how things change during the framing phase.

-Crosby is so excited about the new house. He talks daily about Mr. Chris building him a new big boy room. He has thoroughly enjoyed watching the crews and machines work and playing in all the dirt!
