mmm, yum!

Blake was having kind of a ruff day. He hasn't been sleeping very well and tanners dad was holding him while i was doing something, and blake was a little fussy. Then all of a sudden he wasn't fussing anymore. I turned to look at blake and there he was going to town on a sucker. He had a death grip on that sugar stick and the whole thing in his little mouth. He was happy as a clam, it was hilarious, he never took it out of his mouth. He thought it was so yummy! I tried to take it away after a minute but he looked so sad so i went to give it back to him for just another minute and he opened his mouth before he had it in his hand. It went right back in his mouth and never came out. When we finally took it away for good he was so sad. He followed it around the room, and never took his eyes off it, while i tried to find something to wrap it in. That Popsie is his new best friend! Suckers taste so much better then mashed peas and bananas. Popsie was just giving Blake a peak at how bright, and yummy, his future is.

Valentines Day Surprise

This year for Valentines day i will be on an air plane headed for New York to get my status card. Tanner so kindly reminded me that if he were to pull something like that i would... well i wouldn't let him pull something like that. I love happy heart day! I just as kindly reminded him that Valentines is not his favorite holiday and even if it was he probably wouldn't care anyway. Plus its more important that i can prove my American citizenship with a status card then be here on February 14th, We would have celebrated it a day early anyway since it falls on a sunday.

Today when i got home from cub scouts, which was, like always, ever so wearing, there was a card waiting for me on our bed. It said, "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, If you want your Valentines gift follow the Clue."

"Where would you go if your vehicle were in a state of emergency?"

I am horrible at riddles so i looked at Tanner and said, "well i would turn to you or my phone to call someone." Tanner responded with, "Well im not there and neither is your phone." With a little more prodding i headed for the car. First searched the glove compartment, but found the next clue in the trunk.

Taped to his Ipod it said, "for your next clue, press play," and the rocky theme song was playing (anyone who knows tanner knows that this was not strange at all).

I searched all the rocky movies in the house, then remembered that we have a little rocky action figure in our shower (awkward?... no, just a long story).

Rocky was holding my next clue, "Where can Christmas be found all year around?"

After a small discussion and some more prodding in the right direction (im telling you i am horrible at riddles) i went to the Christmas closet, and found my gift!

We are going to Dinner at Bandera, Then to a movie to see 'Valentines Day' (how appropriate) then staying the night in Scottsdale, Az at a Hotel. And we are doing all of this on fri-sat. It sounds so fun! I am so excited! I love going to Dinner and a Movie its my favorite date and then to stay in a hotel like we are on vacation with a new bed, room service and nothing familiar. I can't wait, tanner is the best!

super happy bath time

This may be the happiest face i have ever seen in all my 22 years! My crazy boy!

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.
