Finally...A true hair cut.

So I manage to take Blake to get his haircut...finally!! It was VERY traumatic for both of us, needless to say he did not like it at all. After all was said and done my baby turned into a little boy right in front of my eyes!!! He is so big and learning so much these days. I will have to brag a little he knows almost all of his alphabet letters and he is learning to count now. It is unbelievable how much and how fast he can learn, it is true what they say, little ones are like sponges, they just soak it all in. No one could have ever told me that my heart would melt a thousand times when I hear him say mama and know he is talking to me. Being a parent is the absolute best, it makes life make sense!!!

Ok, no more sappy stuff, as of today Blake is 30 pounds and 3 feet tall, no I am not kidding, the child is over half my height. We are learning to deal with ear infections real well, we have just gotten over our 4th ear infection, no way getting around that, both mom and dad had their rounds to.

Funny things that has happened lately: he has learned what a belly button is and loves to stick his finger into every ones belly button. He decided to surprise us a few weeks ago by climbing out of his crib and coming into our room at 530 am, needless to say we removed the bumper from the crib that morning!!

He is still a ball of energy and joyful spirit and we are loving every minute of it. We hope you all had a happy new year and hope this year is full of promise and joy for everyone.

Happy New Year!!

DeeDee, T-daddy and Uncle John came to visit for the New Year. We had such a great time spending time just being with one another. We had Christmas all over again and Santa arrived for a second time!!! Uncle John celebrated his 16th birthday on the 4th of January so we were able to have a birthday party/dinner before they left. Here are a few pictures from their visit:

Blake with Uncle John.

Blake loves his new art table that DeeDee and T-daddy brought. We spend lots of time coloring here.

Giving some love to great grandmama Evans. We were lucky enough to spend an evening celebrating Christmas and New Years with my grandparents and cousin Jeb and his family.

Now that is a BIG truck, Blake can even ride in the back of it.

Trying to get into the Christmas gifts before it is time!

There is a Santa Claus!!!!!

We had a wonderful Christmas morning, Blake had a great time and Santa was VERY good to him. Here are a few pictures of some of the toys Santa left.

Playing in the ball pit!

Playing with the new car set.

Love this picture, I bought Blake some bedroom slippers, he did not like the way they felt so this is the only picture I got with them on!!

The joy of Christmas morning.

Some of what Santa brought.....there is more yet in the dining room-a ball pit and a water table.

A lesson learned by Miss Claus this year: when you start christmas shopping early you tend to buy TOO MUCH!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

These pictures I took when we first put the Christmas tree up. Blake loved the lights and loved to sit and watch the train go around under the tree.

My sweet little guy is growing Soooooo fast.

Blake loved the train under the tree.

Love this picture!! Caught in the act!!

Happy Halloween and Wiggles Pictures!!!

So I am way past due for an update, here are Halloween pictures and our visit to see the Wiggles.

We managed some time outside before the cold winter set in.

Bath time-this was taken after our first hair trim.

We took Blake to see the Wiggles in concert in November. He seemed to enjoy it once he got use to the loud music and changing lights.

We had a great Halloween, Blake was the Itsy Bitsy Spider.

It was so hot that afternoon/evening Blake did not keep his outfit on for long, here he is running around topless after a quick walk around the block.
