HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BLAKE!

We just can't believe our little Blake is 1!! Where did the time go? He's been such a huge blessing in our lives and everyday brings something new! We just had a little party to celebrate his first birthday. He sure loved his little cupcake. The whipped cream topping was the first to go, he was in heaven! As you can imagine he loved all the wrapping paper and eventually made his way to the actual gift. We continued to celebrate his special day into the weekend by going to the zoo since the weather was just right. He really enjoyed it. We even made an effort to go AFTER his nice long nap so he would be nice and pleasant. He got a little crazy with seeing some of the animals, he would have loved to just jump right in the cage with them! Here are some pictures from our little celebration :)


Yummy!!







He loves his train from Mimi and Grandpa-T
It only took about 3o minutes to get the toys out of the packaging!!







Erik tucked the balloon into Blake's pants...he gave up trying to get it and just watched it float!



Blake loved the ostrich!


Sometimes it took a little while for Blake to find the animals behind the fences, but when he did...his face just lit up!


Our little family


Don't mind my face...the bird was inching his way over and jumped right behind us after Erik took the picture. A little too close for me.
What Blake is up to these days...
*he is a crawling maniac!
*he's a pro at cruising around furniture
*walking is in his near future, but standing in place is getting better each day!
*he loves to clap
*waving "hi"and "bye" is too cute!
*he even throws his Binky in his crib after he wakes up...all I have to say is "bye bye Binky" :)
*he loves to mimic noises
*he loves throwing his arms up in the air after saying "how big is Blake?"...
*STATS- he's 31 inches tall, his head circumference is 18 inches and his weight is 22.7 lbs!
WE JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF HIM!
