All the things I like to do

You ever feel like you are living in a Dr Sesus book?

These are the things I like to do
I read and play and kick and coo
I eat and sleep and pee and pooh
I scream and cry, laugh and smile
I sing and punch and watch the tile
I learn and grow, bobble and spew
These are the things I like to do

I end this now, before I'm blue
the question I now ask of you
what are the things that you like to do?


Our After Church Discussion

So, in what has become our afternoon discussion (or debrief) on Sundays, we have decided to use this time to interrogate Blake to ascertain exactly what he learned that day at Church. Last Sunday Blake decided to start answering our questions--I think this water boarding stuff really does work, but you can judge for yourself. Personally, I think he will need to work at little more at dispensing his information out in smaller rations and not as he has currently chosen to do.

Just like dad


Blake loves to sit up, but doesn't have the strength to do it on his own, so we have to prop him up. Just like his dad, he loves to watch the tv (as mentioned before), but now he likes it more because he can sit and watch without having to be held. The picture also captures his other new thing, grabbing his shirt.

Cute story: Aaron has been out of town for work. The night he got back I was putting Blake to bed. Blake opened one eye to see what was going on and he saw Aaron, so as soon as he saw Aaron, he was wide awake smiling and talking with his dad. It was really adorable. He missed his dad and was glad when he got back.

Nap Time

Blake hasn't ever been that great with taking naps. If he takes a nap in his crib, then he sleeps for about 20 minutes. Here is a picture of him after his "nap".




But, if he sleeps on his stomach, then he will sleep for 1 1/2-2 hours solid. We just won't tell his doctor about this. I discovered this while doing tummy time. He rested his head down and was out.

Wiggle worm




I always find Blake turned in his crib with his head up against the bumber every morning. He likes to look at the monkeys up on the wall. Doesn't he know he has a whole crib to spread out in?

He's Learning

Blake loves (for about 10 minutes) his toys!







Oh, and he is so advanced he is reading now. Well, about how I "read" books...looking at the cover.
He really likes sitting up so he can see what is going on.

All smiles





I love Blake's smiles. Here are some pictures of our happy boy!

Happy Father's Day!





Since Blake's blessing was on Father's Day, we celebrated Father's day the following week. Here are my two favorite guys. Blake loves kisses from Aaron...doesn't it look like it?

Lunch with Dad



Blake got to meet some of Aaron's co-workers when we met Aaron for lunch one day. Thanks Katie, Vidya, Arash, and Jen for holding and playing with Blake!
