Senor Crosby's Fiesta!

CONFESSION: Let's just preface this blog post with the fact that I basically FORGOT to take any pictures of the decorations at the party or before so many of the pictures were the next morning...so you won't even get the full effect but ehhhh, you'll get the idea.  Also sorry for the extra grainy iphone shots! A few posts ago, I showed you the invites & said that it was a fiesta theme so I went heavy on the pinata type fringe.  I made the cupcake toppers, the sopapilla toppers (seen below, I got no action shots of them...), and the fringe banners.  I hung several other banners and had some serapes placed about that ordered from a party supply company and my mom had some pinatas made for the party. 

Pre-party DIY-ing 

This guy was actually next to the front door, but the wind
was blowing like crazy so he had to move indoors.

Crazy hurr, don't currr. I promise his hair was somewhat "done"  before
he started running around like a crazy person. 

Sweet Cousins!

Post cupcake. 

Senor Crosby is Dos

Well Crosby officially turned T W O last Friday, October 17th and we had his party the weekend before that {more on that to come} so I wanted share with you the invitations that I made.  I had seen a wedding invitation similar on some blog probably about a year ago and the image just stuck with me....now of course when I was making the invites I couldn't find a link or picture anywhere to show you my original inspiration, but I took the idea and ran with it.  The hubs and I decided we wanted it to be a traditional +  modern Mexican fiesta. So the idea of the inspiration invite + pinatas brought me to this invitation that I think worked perfectly.  

They took forever to put together {and I probably have carpal tunnel from cutting all the tissue paper out} but I love how they turned out and I think they added a little fiesta to everyone's mail that day! 

21 and 22

Crosby is 22 months y'all! 2 more months to go before is is TWO ahhh! He is so much fun these days, laughing at everything (he even has this hilarious little fake laugh that he does), learning new things every day, and knock-on-wood sleeping like a champ still.

Had to bribe him with a cookie for this one haha

Some of his favorites lately have been:

Running-the kid is faster than me which I guess isn't saying much but damn he is quick

Eating-DUH still basically eats everything but has a new found love for dips or dipping anything: queso is an obsession, loves dipping anything like toast or fruit into yogurt, and steals any sort of dip Clay or I are eating (guac, chickfila sauce, ranch, etc)

Mickey Mouse-again DUH

Shades-doesn't leave home without them & sometimes wears 'em inside too!

Bubbles-Squeals with delight at any sort of bubble but right now he is lovin' bubble baths

And speaking of baths, Bath Crayons: he loves getting to pick out what color he gets to use and loves making masterpieces on the the bathtub walls (he's also getting good at knowing what color is what and he loves saying Blue, Purple & Yellow "Boo, Popo, Wellow" 

Helping- He loves helping put the detergent in the washer, throwing things in the trash, closing doors, vacuuming, getting out his bubble bath & washcloth, etc.  Anything he can help us do, he gets so excited.  I'm thinking he is going to start having a chore of pouring Palmer's food in his bowl every night. 

Dancing-He has my sweet moves :)

Stealing the show at a bridal shower

Clearly it looks like the only thing we do is go to Target and hang out in the same pair of PJ's...ooops. 

19. 20.

Crosby is 20 months…say whaaa?! Only 4 months away from being two…and suuuuure acting like it! He is smart, full of energy & personality and has a mind of his own.  Part of me is loving this age and part of me is counting down until it's over. Days like yesterday when he was funny & sweet giving me kisses all day were the best.  Days like last Saturday when he whined, wouldn't nap, and kept doing EVERYTHING I said not to, made me want to pull my hair out…BUT I still wouldn't trade it for anything! 

The tank Cros is wearing in his 20 month pic, I whipped up for him.  Clay & Jack (his friend from work) are constantly talking about working out and making fun of each other saying "you even lift bro?" so I just had to put that on a shirt!
