We have had a busy couple of weeks! DeeDee, T-daddy and Uncle John came for a visit a couple of weekends ago and we were so happy to see them! Blake was very excited to hang out with T-daddy, Uncle John and daddy on Saturday to watch some football games while mommy and DeeDee went shopping. The visit was short but we loved having them here, we are looking forward to the holidays when we can spend some more time with them.


This past weekend Aunt Niki and soon-to-be Uncle Chris were in town (they live in Atlanta) and we were very happy to see them too. Blake was still feeling the effects of shots he had on Thursday so aunt Niki didn't get to spend as much time with Blake as we would have liked. We hope the next time we see them we will be a much happier little boy.


We also had our second birthday party on Saturday, my friend Thomas turned 1. I sure can't wait till I can dive into a cake like he did! Blake did really well at his second party, there were lots a kids their, some louder than others but it was fun and we got some cool bubbles that Blake loves to watch.


Blake had his second round of shots this past Thursday and they were not very fun. The day of the shots were fine but the weekend, we saw the effects! Oh well, we do what we have to do but Blake nor mommy like them to much! The doctors visit (other than the shots) went very well, Blake is a "normal, healthy little boy." He now weighs 17 lbs 9 ounces and is 27 inches long, he is in the 90th percentile of height, weight and head circumfrence, he is a growing boy for sure!


We are still enjoying the bananas and applesauce (applesauce the perferred fruit) we tried peaches but they really upset Blake's tummy, so for now we will stick we applesauce and bananas. Blake is rolling from his back to his tummy, we are still trying to master the tummy to back, which is odd because back to tummy is suppose to be harder, oh well we will do the hard stuff first I suppose. He is trying is hardest to sit up on his on, he does not like to be laying down to play much anymore he likes to be sitting up, he can tripod himself for about 30 seconds right now, so we anticipate he will be sitting up soon. He is also teething now, he is drooling like crazy and has to have something cold and hard in his mouth at all times. Tylenol has become a nessecity at times so maybe a tooth soon? we shall wait and see!
