McCrae's favorite trick is giving "noggin".  Just like the turtles on Finding Nemo, he likes to smack his forehead against anyone else who is up for the challenge. Hope he's not losing too many brain cells! He loves the bath and can't sit still for a second. He's gotten so tan playing outside that he has white creases on his ankles and wrists.

McCrae can say dog and fish. He loves to see Grammy's fish in her fish tank and play with Millie at Grandma Jerrie's. He has learned to climb the stairs, but unfortunately, has no desire to learn how to descend properly.

I no longer get to enjoy a nice shower. McCrae cries and pounds on the door until I get out. But when he is standing behind the door, it makes it pretty hard to get out, or even grab a towel for that matter.

Poor thing experienced a month-long ear infection. He was pretty grumpy for while.

Grammy found him some slippers to help him feel better. It worked...for a little while anyway.

His hair has gotten SO curly.

And all of his crawling makes for some pretty dirty feet!

We can't believe that McCrae is almost 1 year old. He is growing faster every day. Its tough work being a parent, but he makes us so happy. We are so thankful every day that Heavenly Father has allowed us to be his parents. We are learning so much and feel so lucky!
