Summertime Blues

The Summer is drawing to a close for the Bennett family and I am sad to see it go.  It has been a summer full of first and many memories.

Presley runs more these days than she walks and climbing in, on, and over is an everyday occurrence.  She gets so excited for herself when she reaches her goal.  Climbing into her highchair was one of the first accomplishments and now it is going down stairs, however the other day the gate was left open and she made it down to the first landing all by herself! Gave me a heart attack!


We have spend many days playing with all of our buddies.  We visited the Brentwood Library most Mondays to have songs, stories, and a lesson in foreign language with Miss Charity.  If it was too hot, we went to Jump-mania or hit the swimming pool.













 







Presley even made it up to Cameron, Missouri for the Bennett family reunion.  She was such a good baby, cutting teeth and all, and slept like a pro at Aunt Jennifer and Aunt Kim's house.
































Later in the summer Presley and I even got to be movie stars and shoot a commercial for a local credit union here in town.  Check out the link!

We have spent so much time together as a family getting comfortable in our new house and neighborhood.  We love being here and have enjoyed having friends and family over.







Presley received her MMR shots (I was terrified and she did just fine--as usual) and weighed in at 22 lbs. 5oz and 30.75 in.  Still holding strong at 50% for weight and 75% for height.  Dr. Steele believes that she will be of average weight and little on the tall side, thank you Jesus for giving me a child with above average height!  If you know the Crocker's we aren't tall...at ALL!

I am excited for Presley to start "school" this year.  I just know after one week she is going to go from saying babbles and a 10 words to complete sentences.  She is growing way too fast for me to keep track of it all.

However, I have been able to observe her and I have determined she is super special and just an absolute joy to be with.
