Good Times...

It's been a while since I've updated this blog of ours, so I thought it was time. Of course Blake is growing and growing. A little fast if you ask me:) He turned 8 months this past week and just out of curiosity I put him on the scale. He hasn't been weighed since his 6 month check up where he weighed in at 16 lbs. Now he weighs in at...20.2!!! Speaking of him, here are the latest pictures...

Oh how he loves being fed!

He can't get enough of the yummy plethora of baby foods out there!

It was such a nice day outside and has been all week! We thought we'd take advantage of it and go out on the lawn. Blake loved it! Most of his time was spent moving around trying to grab the grass and leaves. surprisingly none made it to his mouth...He sure can get on his knees and rock back and forth, but hasn't quite mastered moving forward. He sticks with the army crawl!


Erik and Blake. He sure loves his daddy!

The question in the picture is who's hair is worse? Mine, because of the major roots that need help...or his because it's all over the place?!? (Don't worry, I have an appointment for ME) :)

It was extremely windy, and the gel I put in earlier disappeared. This is why his hair is so crazy!

Halloween day. Happy little guy!

We borrowed my mom's high chair while I was looking for one. This is what always happened when I left the room just for a minute.

Don't worry, this is not what he wears to bed. This was the only thing we had available when he had the worst blow out ever! I've never changed a worse diaper than this. Actually it was barely in the diaper! luckily the pajamas were saved, but a second bath was definitely called for!

I've been trying to teach him how to drink out of a straw (not like there is much teaching involved except putting it in front of him) He wasn't getting the idea since most of the sippy cups with straws have valves which make it harder to suck. So, I tried a cup with out the valve knowing he was going to make a mess and possibly choke a few times sucking up so much water...NOPE, he didn't get it. Finally when I was out to lunch with a few friends I thought I'd give it a try with the restaurant cup and straw. Sure enough, HE DID IT! it's the cutest thing in the world. Seeing those little lips sucking the life out of the little straw. How in the world does a little baby figure so much out? you got me! It's sure amazing all the little new things he does. What's more amazing is how excited I get from straw sucking!
