The Crabtree Family

Well, we are almost settled in the new house. I despise moving- and both times we've moved since we've been married I've been pregnant. It makes it that much more overwhelming. But we have slowly chipped away at things and have made progress. Here is the house- too bad we don't own it! I love it- there is granite counter tops and it is heavenly. If houses weren't a gazillion dollars in California we might be able to snatch one up! We are hoping that the market keeps slipping and in the near future we will be able to find something under a gazillion dollars. Either that, or Scott sees the light and we move to Texas (or any other state than california) that is more afforable where we could buy. Either way, I'm not holding my breath! But- here is home sweet home- FOR NOW!



Brent's naps have been ALL over the place lately. Just when I think he is maybe ready to only take one nap, he takes two 2 hour naps. But the next day he will lay up in his crib "talking" forever and never go to sleep. The main problem I've had lately is that he takes out his binky and CHUCKS it across the room. So after hearing him complain for a while, I go up to check on him and play "find the binky". Sometimes he throws it so far it is across the room under his changing table, sometimes it is underneath his crib, sometimes behind the door. Man he's got a good arm! Other than the tossing binky problem, he also likes to put his legs through the slats of the crib and lounge. I usually find him laying with his feet up on the sides of the crib just chillin. Today, I caught him on camera- he was talking for ages, so I went to check on him and sure enough, not only had he thrown his binky, but his legs were up on the side of the crib. Excuse his messy room- it's one thing we haven't gotten to totally unpacking. He also does this weird thing with his blanket. He holds it up to his nose like he is "smelling" it. And if he doesn't have a blanket handy, he will do it with anything he can find. He will grab a sock and hold it up to his face and "smell", he also does it with stuffed animals, bibs, dish towels, and toilet paper. Whatever he can get his hands on, he cuddles with and holds to his face.
