Crosby is Potty Trained!!

We had been dragging our feet on potty training Crosby...mostly because of all of our travel. He's been ready for a while-waking up dry, asking to try to go. And FINALLY we found a window of time to lay low for a couple of days and get after it. He was by far the easiest of the three to train. Probably because we waited longer and he had two older brothers cheering him on :)
 We used the baby potty the first couple of days. He did not want to miss out on play time outside so we just brought it with us to the backyard:) 
 Carter made him charts for #1 and #2. The first couple of days we gave Cros an M&M or some small treat. The boys got to have one two if they encouraged him and went with him.
 Big brothers showing Crosby the ropes:) 
Ta da! He did it! He has to go up on his tippy toes to reach but being that his big brothers use the big toilet, he needs to too:) Check that off the summer bucket list! And way to go Cros!!!

Crosby is 1 Year + 4 Months!

I don't think you could possibly pack more personality into a 16 month little boy than Crosby is displaying as of late. So fun! He is starting to talk and tries to sound out all sorts of words. We can sort of understand when he says milk, water, book, ball, more, all done...and many more I'm sure I'm forgetting. When you ask him to repeat what you say, he will generally give it a try!
He has started blowing kisses and loves playing peak-a-boo. He covers he eyes with his hands or bib and then just laughs and laughs. I wish I could bottle up these moments.
When he wakes up from nap or in the morning (he finally when a month sleeping through the night by the way and I am a new woman!!) he always wants us to get his blankets and pillow and bring them out with us.
He is doing great on the stairs and we even took down our gate this past week. He cruises down the stairs on his belly and sort of slides his way down. Here are some pics as of late:
 Any time I am dusting he wants me to give it to him and then he tries to do it himself. This could be great in a year or so!
 Cros got his first hair cut this month. As you can sort of see on the bottom picture, he had a poof of hair in the back that kept turning into a matted mess so we cut it off:) He did great! No tears at all for this guy.
 Like I said, personality...
 ...and more personality!
 I love Crosby's sense of humor. He does silly things and KNOWS they are silly. We LOVE his little laugh!! 
 You can tell that his eye is getting better...still a little swollen though. We just brought him in yesterday and the doctor said everything looks good and is healing up right on track. 
 Crosby loves climbing up on things and then stands and jumps. It is funny but quite terrifying. He has NO FEAR.
 Cros developed a love for light switches this past month. I'm pretty sure he even moved this chair to get to one. If he can't move a chair he'll just stand by the switch, point to it, and grunt until somebody lift him up and he can try to turn the light on and off.

Crosby's Big Boy Carseat

Our big boy is moving his way up in the world! He grew out of his infant car seat and is now in a convertible seat like his brothers.
 And the big boys got a rocketship/racecar/hiding spot/art project out of the deal!

Baby Steps and Soooo Big!

It has been a big week at the Spark house. Crosby took his first step last Monday and now a week later he can walk across a room! I love how he sticks out his tongue to concentrate and his pouty face when he falls:)
Also, we've enjoyed playing the "How Big Is Crosby?" game lately. You can hear how involved his brothers are...so sweet?
