More Christmas and Another bday party!

Cake is so yummy! He ate the entire piece!

Memaw gave Blake these eggs. You match up the shape and tops and they chirp too! We had a great turn out for his party her in Dewitt and at his party in N.B.

This is the Power Wheels that we bought him for Christmas. He loves it but hasn't quite figured out how to make it go using the button. He keeps rocking back and forth trying to get it to move!

He's walking, he's walking!

Haha! He LOVED his birthday cake! Had to take it away to prevent the ultimate belly ache!

Such a cutie on Christmas morning!

*************************************************************************************

Blake started REALLY walking Christmas Eve as he took off toward his Mimi! Since then, he's getting brave enough to just let go of something and go across the floor. What a big boy! We celebrated his birthday last Sunday and will do so again this Sunday! YAY!

Birthday jitters!

As Blake's first birthday quickly approaches, I've been reflecting on the past year and 9 months of my life and how quickly it has all passed by. It seems like just yesterday I was devastated to find that my body simply doesn't know how to ovulate and feeling that I may never have a baby. I feel so incredibly blessed to have my baby boy! It's amazing how much our lives have changed but how easily we have forgotten what life was before parenthood. My "baby" is no longer a baby really. He is quickly working on learning to walk and will grab your finger and pull on you to get up and walk with him. His balance gets better each day and Kevin says he will be walking by Christmas. At this rate, he just might! So, we are exhausted but in such a wonderful way. God bless!

Blake's first trip to Chuck E. Cheese

Blake was all about the cars. He loves to "drive." He likes to pound things with large objects as well. I think he'll be ALL boy! It's so much fun to watch his little personality develop...even when he's being difficult! ;) Mama's boy!

Blake saying "Mama"

Blake started saying "mama" about a month ago. Now he's adding Baba sounds and using them interchangably for everything! We're trying to get "dada" to come out now.

Blake is afraid of all things Christmas!

Santa terrified the boy child and he HATES the Christmas tree. He cried everytime I try to put him in front of it for a picture. This is from the Bass Pro Shop today after waiting in line 2 hours and he didn't take a good pic. Ay yah yah! :)

Tis the season....

...for sickness that is! Lucky me caught the stomach flu and began getting sick early Sunday morning and didn't feel even close to myself until Wednesday. Blake started puking Monday night bless his heart. It was our first experience with him begin really sick. Today is Friday and is the first full day with no puking or loose stools. YIPPEE! Who knew I would ever celebrate poop or the lack there of? Isn't life exciting? To make life even better, Kevin began going both ends Wednesday. What a horrible virus! Now my father-in-law has it because they watched Blake Thursday and today. Let's hope it will end there. I can't handle anymore! On a good note, Blake is slowly getting better and beginning to wet diapers again after being so dehydrated.
