Multi functional stroller


While Aaron's folks were here, we went on a walk around a local lake and after a couple of laps around the lake, Blake was done being in the stroller, so we took him out, and he started to push the stroller.

Teething


I've heard some parents say that they didn't know that their kids were teething and that one day, teeth just appeared. Well, Blake lets it be known to everyone that he is teething. You can see the bottom teeth, but now that top ones are coming in and he hates life.

13 Months


Last week Blake turned 13 months old, and here are some things that he likes to do.

Likes to drink out of the sports bottle.

He likes to take out and eat the electrical outlet covers. Worthless baby proofing item huh?

And...he loves to walk! He is all over the place. People told me that I don't want him to walk, but so far I love him walking, it is the climbing that I don't love. Oh, and behind him in the picture is our front door, which he can now open. He likes to open the door and look at all the cars passing by...not good.

He has expanded his vocabulary and understands some commands and will even obey some. For example, when I tell him to go upstairs because we need to change his diaper, he will go over to the stairs and go up to his room. He knows what it means to put on his shoes, but is still working on being able to put on his shoes. He does love to get our shoes for us, but he takes our socks off if we are in the house because he thinks we only wear socks if we are going outside. He loves his ball and will go get his ball when we ask him to. Hmm...does he sound like a little dog?

Trip to the Beach


Aaron's folks are here for a visit, so we took them to one of our favorite beaches.


Blake is showing me what sand looks like.
He liked the beach.

One of the reasons why we like the beach is that it has a park.

Visitors


Our friends Owen, Britni and Mia moved to New Mexico a year ago and were in town this week, so they stopped by for some food and fun. We sure miss them!
