the pediatrician was very impressed with crosby's head control and ability to pull himself up - she even commented that some of the things he was doing were characteristic of 4 month olds! so we have a very strong, healthy and advanced boy on our hands :) he is so much fun to be around and we can't get enough of his cuteness! looking forward to all of his new milestones in the coming weeks...
