feet

Blake found his feet today! It was so cute to watch him play with and try to eat them! He also started eating rice cereal about a week and a half ago and is still getting use to it. I feel like he has gotten bigger the past week because of the cereal, but Im sure one week wouldn't make a big difference. 

pumpkin patch

We also went to the pumpkin patch yesterday. Unfortunately, It was cold and he was still sad from his shots.  So he stayed in his carseat and stroller most of the time to stay warm and we didn't get very many pictures. We went with Tanner's family except for tanner and his dad, they were at work. There was tons of pumpkins, a train ride on a tractor, animals, garden, and go carts. Here is a picture of Blake with the geese and pigs...

4 month checkup

Blake went to the doctor for his four month check up yesterday. He weighs 13lbs 8oz and is 24 1/2 inches tall. He is about the 25% for both. They gave him 3 shots and 1 oral vaccine and he was so sad. It affected him for the rest of the day so i had to keep giving him baby tylenol and that helped a lot. He still slept pretty good though the night and has been good today as long as he has medicine. 

Trip to Utah

Blake and I flew to Utah this weekend to visit. It was Blake's first time on an airplane and he did so good. The fights were pretty empty so we got a row all to ourselves both times. It was so much fun to see family and friends especially since some of my friends have never met Blake. My mom was so excited to see him that she held him every second she could and my dad was glad he wasn't sick so he could hold him too. Everyone was so surprised at how big he has gotten even just in the past week since we saw them in Disneyland.

1st Airplane Ride.

During our visit we were able to visit our good friends Gina, Tyson and Aiden. Blake is only 6 weeks older then Aiden so it is fun for Gina to see what Aiden will be doing soon and for me to remember when blake was that little. Blake and Aiden were totally amazed and enthralled with each other. Almost the whole time we were there they just stared at each other, it was so cute. Every once in a while they would smile at each other. When Aiden got the hick-ups blake laughed and thought it was so funny. 

Gina is holding Blake and Im holding Aiden. 

Unexpectedly, Tanner was also able to go up to Utah this weekend for the BYU vs. TCU game. His mom and sister decided to drive up a couple weeks ago so Laura could visit some mission friends and so at the last second Tanner decided to jump in at the last second and come back to Utah for BYU's homecoming weekend. It was weird for both of us to be back and not in school, and so beautiful in the fall weather. It was good to have Tanner there so he could visit family and friends with us.  

Disneyland

We just went to disneyland this past week for 4 days and it was so much fun! Tanner's family went for a family vacation so everyone was there. Everything is decorated for halloween so cute. We got there tuesday afternoon and went to disneyland Wednesday morning all day. Then we went back thursday morning around 10am and left at 10pm! it was a long day. We started at disneyland and then went to California Adventure for their halloween party. In October every Thursday night they have a halloween party and you have to buy a special ticket to get in so its not as crowded, and thats nice. The lines are shorter plus they have trick or treat lines and sooo much candy! or if you didn't want candy you can get sliced apples or baby carrots. it was so fun and totally wore Blake out! the whole time we were there he went to bed at 9pm to 7am and would wake up once for a quick snack:) Normally he sleeps through the night 11pm to 7am and has been doing that for the past 2 weeks (11pm is pretty late but its better then having him up all night, a full 8hrs of sleep is beautiful). Then friday we went back to both Disney and California Adventure. It was nice because my family was there also for their October break so I got to see them for a little while on friday. Then we left saturday morning and we were all worn out! Here are some pic's i took while we were there...

First day we were there it was rainy but nice because it wasn't to cold or too hot.
Yup I have a thumb sucker! Blake prefers sucking his thumb or hand over his pacifier. 

They have so many decorations set up so we took a family picture in front of the mickey mouse pumpkin. It was kind of hot on thursday so we took his costume off when we were done with the picture. Tanner's mom bought everyone matching shirts for thursday because we took a big family picture also and she's going to use that as a christmas card. I think she should do a "nightmare before christmas" theme like the movie since that was the Disneyland theme this year. 
Blake as Jack Sparrow! 
Here are some more decorations...
This was in California Adventure for the Halloween party. Everything had huge candy corns all over it. 
Blake is a pumpkin this year for Halloween and Tanner and I are going to be farmers since we harvested him:) We don't have our costume on because everyone is still wearing their halloween disney shirts except for Blake and Brighton. 

Sometimes Halloween can be scary!

Friday was a chill day and so blake was quite relaxed. 

Blake was giving me puppy dog eyes on the way home because he didn't want to leave disneyland. 

Couch Potato

Blake thinks the TV is so interesting. I think he likes the lights and colors. We borrowed some of Kara's Baby Einstein movies for him to watch and he loved it. Here he is just staring at the movie. During this part in the movie its showing a purple  glue or syrup being poured into a bowl and the color contrast and movement gets Blake's attention. 

laughs

Here are some cute little laughs! Tanner is so good at playing with him! These are just little laughs but when you get him when he's well fed and not sleepy he laughs so hard and its hilarious. 

playing

Blake loves to play with his toys and he us getting so much bigger. He will hold on to his toys and look at them. He also loves to look at his hands and will suck his thumb sometimes. 

finished with interviews!

Tanner finished his last two interviews this week. On tuesday he went to USC and on Thursday he went to UNLV. He flew out in the morning and flew back in the evening for both trips. He said it was hard and made him tired. When he flew in thursday evening it was only 20 minutes before his younger sister Laura flew in from her mission in Armenia. It was great timing for both of them! Laura had a very successful and exciting mission but is happy to be home! Tanner said both interviews went good and has thing he likes and dislikes about both school,but his number one is still Louisville!
