Time flies when your having fun, right? RIGHT! We have had so much fun with our little Crew man! He has seriously brought so much joy to our home. And I really can't believe he has been a part of our lives for half a year. It is so much fun having a baby around this house again after such a long time. We all go crazy over every little new thing he does, which is daily lately! If he is laughing, we all gather around and act foolish to keep the giggles coming and coming. If he is trying a new kind of baby food we all gather around and watch his expressions. It doesn't matter what Crew is doing he has a group of little (and big) spectators watching him as he grows and cheering him on and of course loving him unconditionally. I love watching my kids interact with him, it melts my heart!
Fischer is a big help obviously because he is the oldest. But I love that when we go places and I am luggin' the heavy carseat + 19 pound baby around, he comes up and takes it out of my hands and carries it.
Mitchell is so sweet with Crew, it really brings out his soft side which I love. The other night I had put the kids to bed and ran to the grocery store. By the time I went to bed it was pretty late and everyone was asleep. I walked upstairs and noticed Crew's bedroom door open. I went to check on him and he was asleep but in a different spot and with a different blanket on him. The next morning I asked Curtis if he had gotten up with Crew while I was gone the night before and he said "No, but I think I might have heard Mitchell go in there!" So I went and asked Mitchell if he had gone in Crew's room and he said "Yes, I heard him crying so I went in there and rocked him to sleep and put him back in his crib!" AWWW! So sweet!
Stockton is the best with Crew when Crew is crying. Well, let me rephrase that! Stockton is the most patient with Crew when Crew is crying. Of course everyone fights over Crew when he is in a fun and playful mood but if he is screaming his lungs out, it's a different story. Everyone magically disappears! But Stockton will always pick him up and try to console him and bounce him or sing to him.
Emma is going to be the best darn mommy someday. She gets quite the workout carrying Crew up and down the stairs all day long. Yes, I do let her! Sometimes in the morning she will even go get Crew out of his crib when he wakes up and will take him in her room and play with him! She is amazing for a little 5 year old. I don't know what I would do without her help. She can change diapers, feed him, and helps get him ready for bed after his bath (which I give him) LOL! She loves having someone to take care of. Forget pretend babies, Emma has a real baby to take care of these days and she loves it.
There is no doubt Crew is adored. He will never lack affection because if someone isn't lovin' on him, it's because someone else already is! We just dig him!
Life is the greatest!
