4 months! This month Cru: • rolled back to tummy • found his fingers • likes grabbing things with both hands • still loves his walks • found his laugh! • went swimming for the first time • cheered on his favorite team to a Super Bowl win! Mom and dad are soaking up all the cuddles because time is already a thief and know they won’t last much longer 😭 (at Jupiter, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpD30Y1J0RPd4IsypWECz6Lq54TdB0MAcuMpmg0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

ONE MONTH ☝🏻 They say the days are long but the weeks are super short. I’ve never felt that more than in this last month. I can’t believe Cru is already a month old! We love being outside, going on walks by the saltwater, our car seat, the fan and meeting new people. Cru bear, CruBoo, little stinker.. we love you.
