Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!!!!

Blake and I had so much fun taking these pictures, he actually didn't mind the santa suit at all!

I thought these were some great shots and I have had a hard time deciding which one I should send out, but you will be sure to get one or the other! I tried to get a shot of all my "children" but the two fury ones would not cooperate as you can see.

Blake had his 6 month check-up yesterday and yes with that comes shots but I think its more tramatic for mom than him :) The doctor said he is perfect and that he is doing just fine. He now weighs in at 21 lbs 6.4 ounces and is 29 inches long (95th percentile in both areas). He loves to play with the paper on the doctors table, wish I could bring some home! He is such a sweet baby, he is learning to "love" (our hugs) and give kisses (in the baby way). He is babbling a lot and has the best laugh, we love to get him going. He is an absolute joy and a true blessing.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!! We have so much to be thankful for! Blake is now 6 months old, unbelievable how time flies. On November 16th Blake was baptised, it was a beautiful day, Dr. Dudley and Dr. Filston (who married Josh and I) did the service and it was great. Blake was very comfortable with Dr. Dudley and was fasinated by the shiny cross that was around his neck. The day was even more special because it was my grandmother Louise's birthday, we know she was shining down on us and saying "isn't this special." Thanks mom and dad, aunt Martha and uncle Chuck for a great afternoon luncheon!

Thanksgiving was great, we were with the Metcalf clan at GiGi's house, Blake met his cousins Eli and Riley and can't wait till next year when they will be running around and playing together. We had a great day and loved spending time with family!

Blake is now sitting on his on and is trying to crawl, I guess that will be the next "big" milestone. He has a tooth that has poked its head up but is being stubborned to come all the way out. Lots of drool these days we are just waiting for the whole thing to arrive now!

He is so much fun, he loves his puppy dogs and laughs when they are playing together.

As for now we are getting ready for Christmas, Blake loves the lights on the Christmas tree and this morning he had a surprise under the tree, the polar express train has come to visit and he loves to watch it go around under the tree and hear the whistle blow! Lots of fun times ahead and we are looking forward to each one!
