Crue's Santa Outfit

The day before Thanksgiving part 2

I put up 2 posts in a row so you will need to scroll down to see the first part of these postings. Anyway, here is Crue at the beach working on his different smiles. He loved the ocean and the breeze and even liked digging his toes into the sand.

The day before Thanksgiving part 1

Today was such a beautiful day. My cousin Crystal came from Vegas to visit and we headed down to Blue Lagoon where Abe was working. The weather was fantastic and we saw a school of dolphins and a whale. We saw the blowhole and followed the whale down the beach, we saw the tail and the whole body. It was amazing, I have never seen a whale from the shore before.

My nursing coverup became Crue's makeshift hat, since I forgot to bring one for him.

The three of us.

Crue sucking on his fingers, it seems to be his favorite thing to do lately.

Wedding Weekend

Two weekends ago Crue and I went to Northern California for my best friend from high school's wedding, it was a lot of fun to see old friends. Crue loved seeing his Grandma and he got to meet both of his uncles for the first time. Here are some pics from the weekend in no particular order. Crue is now talking so much, grabbing at everything and trying to put it in his mouth, and smiling and laughing a lot.

Crue at 3 months in his hat

Crue is 3 months today, we went to the doctor this morning and he weighs 14 pounds (74%), and is 24 1/4 inches(70%). He is so much fun, smiling constantly and cooing a lot. Crue's good buddy Eli, below, showed up with the cutest hat, so of course we had to go get Crue one. Here they are below at Chrissy and Brent's going away get together. We are going to miss them.
I thought he looked so cute in his hat that I took a few more pictures of him in it. He isn't much of a fan of the hat but as you can see I love it.

Two more pics. He doesn't really look like a small newborn anymore.
