Since we last posted, we have had 2 ear infections, a BIG snow fall and Valentine's Day. Josh and I were able to sneak away for a couple of hours for Valentine's Day thanks to GiGi and Gmax. I will have to say, Blake has no problems spending some quality time with his grandparents, he absolutely adores them both. Thanks GiGi and Gmax for reminding us and letting us have a few hours of "grown up" time.
Blake is still struggling with persistent ear infections, we are hoping that with the change of seasons there will be a change in the number of ear infections we have to deal with. We have had 6 since October 2009, waaaaaaaaay too many!!! Blake is still weighing in at 30 pounds and just over 3 feet tall and surprising us with new things everyday. He is talking in 2 to 3 words/sentences now, can count to 10 and sing his ABC's with just a tiny bit of help, he is simply amazing. He has found a new love with the garage doors, he loves to push the button and watch them go up or down ALL DAY LONG!!! Can you tell it is driving us all a little crazy?For a week after discovering this wonderful invention all he said was "door, door, door etc......" We have left the era of Horton Hears a Who, and now we have discovered Barney, yes Barney, I said I would never let any child of mine watch Barney, but he does. Oh yes, and the best news yet (sarcastically) is that Blake has been termed a "head banger." What does this mean you might ask, well at our last ear infection visit to the doctor I mentioned that Blake will hit himself on the head or bang his head on the floor or the wall when he is mad or being disciplined, the doctor simply said oh yes, we call them "head bangers." WHAT??? It absolutely drives me crazy, but apparently it is normal in some kids. I don't call that "normal" and we are working hard to get past this stage quickly.
It is hard to believe that Blake is 21 months old, we will soon be celebrating his 2nd birthday and yes I have already started planning so mark you calendars for May 29th 2010!!!
Here are some pictures of the past few weeks, hope you enjoy!!!
Here is Blake playing with Marley, he first tried to climb into the shopping basket himself, that didn't work of course and so we put Marley in instead!!!
Happy Valentine's Day!!!!
Blake LOVES balloons, so in addition to his owl his daddy and I made at Build-a-Bear he got this balloon which he still totes around the house.
We are all excited about getting snow this year, we have had enough for this year though. Blake loves it as much as his daddy does, mommy just likes the way it looks!!!
