7 months!

Blake officially turned 7 months today! wow, i cant believe i have a seven month old baby... its the best thing ever! i love being a mom! So Blake had his 6 months appointment a month ago but i never updated and told about it. At his appointment he was 26 1/2 inches and 15 lbs 12 oz. So that means he was 50% for height and 15% for weight.

We now feed Blake baby food 3 times a day, along with cereal, and he eats about a jar/container each feeding half veggies half fruit. I can't really tell because he reacts the same to all of them, but i think peas and apples are his favorite. Although he doesn't really like any of the veggies, but he eats them, and he Loves all of the fruit so its hard to pick a favorite.

I just posted how blake loves to play steam roller with tanner, well now he likes to play it by himself. He has been able to rollover for a long time, but now he just keeps rolling and rolling all across the room until he runs into something then he stops and plays there or just rolls the other way. It is so cute and hilarious Tanner and I just sit and watch him.

He loves to just sit on the ground and play and roll around. When we put him on the ground it only takes a couple minutes for him to be a totally different place in the room. He also gets into crawling position and just stays there i think he will be crawling any day!

steam roller

Blake loves to play steam roller so i got some pics and a short video of him playing with tanner. He also has just started clapping when he gets excited it is so cute.

Master of Disguise

Guess who?

Crib

Yay, we finally got blake a crib after weeks of looking! here are some pic, we think its beautiful!

Blake loves it! He loves to play in it because he quickly realized he can reach the rail and pull himself up so we just as quickly lowered the mattress hight.

We also got a matching dresser.

Bath time

Blake loves bath time! He splashes in the water and plays with all of his toys. He has bath time every night before he goes to bed and the other night he discovered his belly. He looked down at his belly then started to grab it like he was thinking 'what is this?'. now almost every time he gets in the bath he needs to inspect his belly then continues playing, its so funny.

Fun with B!

Well its been over a week since Kara and Christian moved to Oklahoma and we miss them so much, but B and Blake got in some good play time before they left.

B got a shopping cart for christmas and she liked blake so much she wanted to buy him! We all thought this was hilarious especially B, and blake was happy because he got to chew on paper this whole time.

Unfortunately it didn't end so great. We were standing very close the whole time but we were not quick enough to catch blake when the cart tipped over! poor blake :( but he recovered quickly and was smiling only a couple min. after the fall, but he did have a little bruise on his head for a couple days.

moving forward

Blake is growing up so fast he is already leaning forward to crawl. He sees all of the toys but cant reach them, so he reaches till he is on all fours then rocks back and forth trying to move closer. He just started doing this only about two days ago. He is not even totally steady sitting up i can't believe he wants to crawl. Im sure it will still be a while because he can't even get back up when he tips over while sitting, but its cute to watch him try!

Fun Christmas!

This year for Christmas Tanner, Blake and I went to Utah to be with my family. My family was so excited to all of us, but especially excited to see Blake! Last time they saw him he was four months old and he turned six months while we were there. My mom and dad held him all day and my siblings played with him. Blake was kind of nervous the whole time because of all of the new people and he was passed around a lot, but by the end he was use to everyone and happy. Christmas eve we had friends and family over for a Christmas eve breakfast with waffles, buttermilk syrup, eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, and lots of other yummy things! It was so fun. Then Christmas morning we opened presents and in the afternoon we went to my Auntie Tabbies house with other family and friends for Christmas dinner.

Christmas morning was so exciting with all the presents. My first christmas i was almost six months also and there is a picture with my in the middle of all of the gifts with a bow on my head so I did the same thing to Blake Christmas morning.

He loved all the bright wrapping paper almost more then the actual toys! He just tried to eat all the paper.

My parents got Tanner a 12 gauge shot gun for Christmas and he was very happy. He said he felt like he was on the movie the christmas story' when Ralphie gets his B.B. gun.

My mom just held Blake the whole time and we were all sad when we had to leave. Blake loves his Grandma B and will hopefully be able to go back in March to visit again.
