17 Months Old

Rugrat turned 17 months old today and yesterday I saw that he has cut 3 more teeth. He needs them too because he only has 6 teeth right now and would really like to eat some steak with no difficulties.
His favorite song at the moment is "Once there was a snowman", so here he is being tall, tall, tall.


Our day wouldn't be complete without a trip to the park. He has mastered the slide, if hanging on to the rail and then falling onto the slide is considered mastering.

Another usual thing that he does at the park is try to shove as many wood chips into the holes on the play equipment as possible.

Happy kid!

Happy kid? He has a graham cracker in his mouth or maybe he is just plain good at giving me the evil eye.

He does have to take a break to eat a snack.


Here is his friend, Grace. We haven't seen her in awhile, so they were pretty happy to see one another. She totally hams it up for the camera. Blake was too busy getting into Grace's grandma's stuff to look at the camera.

Zoo Time

A couple days ago, we went to the zoo with Grandma, Grandpa and Seth. Blake lasted about 5 minutes in his stroller, which is why I wasn't able to get many pictures. Blake had to be like his big cousin Seth and walk everywhere.


Apparently bunnies are really fun.

Blake had to wave to the chickens and roosters.

Buddies taking a break.

Blake's new favorite animal is an owl and he can even make the noise that an owl makes. He was super excited to see real owls at the zoo and to "talk" with them. Side note: our neighbors across the street have a fake owl on their chimney so every time we walk outside Blake will start to hoot.

After we went to the zoo, we went on a fun train ride around the park. Even though it doesn't look like it, I think Grandpa had fun.

BYU Fan

This was week 1 against Washington...a win. Blake watched the game (mostly) and was clapping a lot.

And this was week 2 against Air Force...a terrible game. Blake was bored out of his mind with this game. Hopefully next week will be a better game.
