and…she walks

We thought the day would never come. Lily sure took her time getting up on those feet and walking. She had been taking a step or two but would then sit down and crawl to wherever she wanted to go. One Friday night our church had an FCA fundraiser where they offered childcare for five dollars per child. You better believe we were there! When we dropped the kids off we told the workers that Lily was 14 months old but not walking. When we picked her up they informed us that she was "walking all over." We assumed she had taken a step or two as she had been doing at home. Scott set her down and she walked across the room to me. She is now strictly a walker. We're so proud of our Lily girl…and she's pretty proud too!

love this boy!

new bike

We got Marshall a bike for Christmas and he has really enjoyed getting out and riding. I snapped some pictures the first time he went out to give his new wheels a try. (We are no longer wearing puffer vests and sweatshirts, these were taken when the weather was much cooler. I'm trying get the blog caught up with real life.)

The hilarity of this outfit is not lost on me.

catching up…again

I have the best intentions to keep the blog updated and I always fall behind. Here's a quick recap of the going-ons at the Crawford house with photos to go with it.

Marshall always wants to dress himself. Some days are better than others. And then there are some days when he comes out with his shirt on inside out and his pants backwards. I love age 3! There is something so charming about wonky clothes and shoes.

Sweet Lily girl had her first set of real piggies and looked adorable in them. She also figured out how to get up to where her brother was eating his breakfast and steal some toast.

Marshall had his second broken wrist in 2 months. The first break was his right wrist, the cast was removed on December 15th. The second break occurred on January 18th to his left wrist. He handled the cast, x-rays, and doctor visits like a real champ.

Lily Walking

Lily has started walking. You will also see how much Marshall and Lily love each other.

A few more...

I thought of a few more funny ways Marshall says things and I don't want to forget.

He means volcano. He says ol-vacano. .
He means baptize. He says baptitise.
He means erase. He says rerase.
He means diabetes. He says die-da-betes.
