Crockett 10 Months

Yes, I know... tomorrow is February 3, 2012 and Crockett will be 11 months old. So I better get this post up in the next 24 hours! Uh... I'm behind and I hate it. HATE IT! 


Crockett's 10th month had all kinds of developmental growth along with physical growth. 




A few photo shoot out takes. He LOVES to put his hands on his head... a lot of times he puts Cheerios or toys up there. It is hilarious!


Thought I would include some pictures from my phone of the past month. All dressed up for a day of running errands with Mommy! The highlight is meeting Daddy for lunch!

Swinging at the park is a new favorite late afternoon activity!

My Daddy is AWESOME!

And so is my Daddy's truck!

I have learned to sit up in my crib! I can also pull up and stand... Mommy and Daddy had to lower my mattress this month!

I LOVE to play with Emerson... he is a good sport and plays back!


 I've learned to take my hat off and I think it is really funny when Daddy takes his on and off!

I now take baths in the big bath tub!

I got this AWESOME tricycle and it is SO MUCH FUN!


I have mastered drinking from a sippy cup!

I am easily entertained by the old diaper box!


Mommy made pancakes for us one Saturday morning! I always have to observe and touch my food before I put it in my mouth.

I seemed to really like it!

However, in typical Crockett fashion, after this picture I gagged and threw up all over myself. Uh! Mommy and Daddy are patiently working with me on my gag reflex. The speech therapist suggested that I chew on a tooth brush to break down the existing reflex. It seems to be working!


Crockett, 10 months was a really fun age! You are developing and learning daily and we are having a blast watching you! It is truly amazing to watch you grow up... God is in every detail of our lives and we are thankful that he has given you to us to raise! We love you buddy!

Ok, I can rest now knowing that we can celebrate 11 months tomorrow without needing to update the blog with Christmas and 10 months. :) 

Crockett's 1st Christmas

What? Christmas was over a month ago? Oh... well... here is an overdue post. 

For our Christmas card this year, we used a couple of shots from a family photo shoot that we did in November with Rachel Russo. She was awesome and captured the Srp/Yost cousins perfectly!

The front of our card had this picture:
And the back of the card had this one:



A few others that I loved...






Crockett and I went to Bass Pro Shops to meet Santa. Our friends Brittney and Reese went too... Crockett was terrified of Santa unlike Reese who calmly sat and smiled for the picture.


Although he isn't smiling, I LOVE this face!

We went to a birthday party that night and Crockett got to see Santa again! You can tell he was THRILLED.

During December Crockett started to act like he wanted to crawl!


Christmas Eve was spent in Boerne with the Srps! We went to the Christmas Eve service at First Baptist and celebrated with yummy mexican food and presents at Mimi and Grandpa's house.




A surprise visit from Santa (Grandpa) resulted in matching pjs for all of the cousins!


Christmas morning came bright and early... just the way Mommy likes it!

Crockett was really into the boxes and paper! We have some wise friends who clued us into this and we decided to give Crockett a big boy car seat for Christmas instead of lots of toys. As you can see from this picture, the grandparents, aunts and uncles took up the slack on that end!

Crockett loved opening his stocking. It was full of toys, puffs, and bath supplies. All of his favorite things! The Junior Mints were from Daddy's stocking... but C loved shaking the box!

Celebrating Jesus' birthday with a yummy chocolate cake! {Next year our little man will LOVE this tradition!}


Christmas day in Austin with the Crockett's!

And the Martin's!


Uncle Bo and Aunt Brooke loving on Crockett!


Crockett and his Great Papa!

Papa and Aunt Bebe resting before the big meal that Mama C cooked!

Crockett LOVES Bogey time!

Cousin Cal showing off this silly Santa hat!


Crockett got a play cell phone... Mommy explaining it to him while Daddy checks in on the iPad.

Crockett has a love hate relationship with the tickle bug!

Crockett loves playing on the bed!

Especially when it is covered in plastic balls from Mama C and Bogey! Such a fun gift!!





Nothing like a bed time story with Mama C after bath time!

Crockett's first Christmas was wonderful! We loved reliving Christmas through a child's eyes... a sweet bonus of having children! We were all spoiled with generous gifts!

Happy Birthday Jesus!
