March and April of 2017 (29 and 30 months)

My baby is growing so fast.  I miss the baby stage so much but love the little personality Crew is forming.  He is growing tall and thinner and the baby fat is fading away. 

In March we made our annual trip to St. Louis to visit auntie Sydney.  We make our stops at Fitz’s for lunch, the City Museum, hotel swimming and a new BBQ place.  We all had a great time although with four boys who are growing, we are quickly outgrowing one hotel room and it seems inevitable that we will see reserving two hotel rooms in the near future.  Crew loved running and climbing with the older boys and swimming in the hotel pool was so much fun for him.  He did great jumping off the side of the pool and loved being in the water with Daddy and the boys.  He was such a happy camper.

 The weather wasn’t quite warm enough to be outside for long periods of time and Crew was so sad to still be in the house.  He is an outside boy and loves playing on his swing set and climbing the rock pile.  He will have such a great summer being outside.

Loves to watch Star Wars on the Ipad.  I am constantly telling him not to watch it because it is a little violent for a 2 year old but I constantly find him sneaking a peak.  He is into string cheese, yogurt and any kinds of fruit.  With the summer coming I have been big with blueberries and strawberries and Crew loves them both.  The other night we were sitting and watching TV and h e was pretending to fall off the coffee table and was acting the part really well.  Loves the dog so much and loves to wrestle with his Dad.  Tries to dribble the basketball and hit a baseball like the boys and basically will mimick anything they do.  Trying to grow up tooo fast.

April brought another holiday for us to celebrate with Easter.  This year we went to the Hollybrook Easter egg hunt and Crew did a great job.  He shared and ran around picking up eggs.  We also did some egg coloring for the holiday and Crew seems to enjoy that as he is learning his colors and loved telling us what color his egg.  We were all together for Easter this year and the boys woke up nice and early and found what the Easter Bunny had brought them.  They all got posters for their rooms and Crew got a movie and license plate for his bike.  They all then ran outside, after a night of rain, and fought the mud and wetness to get the eggs the Easter Bunny left.  They all did a great job and Crew enjoyed himself.  We were all then off to the Strohs and got the annual Easter egg hunt done there and took our yearly family pictures with ears.  It was a beautiful day and we all had a great time as always./
