All Ready For Bed

I couldn't help but laugh when I saw how Aaron styled Blake's hair after his bath the other night.

1 Year Old

On Blake's birthday we went to lunch with some fabulous friends, Jen and Katie. It was a lot of fun and Blake loved the food...or loved having the food all over his face. Thanks guys for eating with us!


This midget isn't such a midget anymore. At his 1 year check up, he was in the 90th percentile for height and 55 for weight. The doctor was impressed with how many words he is saying. Here are the things he says (and that we understand):
-mom
-dad
-hi
-bye
-ball
-up
-no
-you
-all done
-more (in sign language)
He has 4 teeth coming in...finally, but he still doesn't walk more than a couple of steps on his own.

First Birthday

We celebrated Blake's birthday this weekend. Since Blake will eat just about anything, it was no surprise that he loved his cupcake.

We're not sure if Blake or his cousins liked Blake's new toy more.

Birthday boy with Grandma and Grandpa.

What a cute guy...and a cute little kid too.

What a look, huh?

A Shaky Easter for Snaky

The practical Easter bunny came to our house and brought Blake some clothes and some toys.

This is Blake's first Easter egg hunt. We did this right after the earthquake and as you can see, he is still a little confused about what's going on. The hunt took place in the front yard while the waves in pool in the backyard were calming down from the quake.

Blake's cousins had fun finding their eggs.

Blake loves playing with his cousins and thankfully they love playing with him.

Happy Easter

This is an example of the cheesy smile that I mentioned in a previous post. Don't you love it? I also love the fact that he is playing with the packing that the Easter candy came in and has no interest at all in the candy. Happy Easter!

Fun at the park

I realized that I don't have many pictures of Blake at the park, so I remembered to take the camera the other day. I quickly got this picture before...

he got the carrying case. Why play with the play equipment when you have a camera case to play with?
