I'm a Bad, Bad Blogger

Yes, I know it's been almost 4 months since I put anything on here. To catch up, Blake is now a junior in college... well almost. I only have one picture that I can post right now (from work). I'll try to get some more up soon and maybe some video. In the mean time...

Roll Tide Roll!

It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time

Things were going pretty well:
















Then things quickly changed:
















Oh, maybe he just wanted some more.
















Maybe not:
















I think we should wait a while on the spoon feeding. Blake thinks so too.

Eleven Hours!

Well, we've past the four month mark and everyone is still doing well. I haven't posted much because not much has been going on. No news is good news I guess. Some of Blake's latest developments:

• He's growing like crazy and was almost 17 lbs at his 4 month dr. appointment (75th percentile). He is wearing 6 to 9 month clothes, but 9 months actually fit better. I hate clearing out those things that he can't wear anymore but love shopping for new outfits.
• His personality is really beginning to develop. He is so funny, blowing bubbles and "talking" all the time. I'd give anything to know what he's trying to say (on second thought maybe I don't want to know).
• He is taking 4 to 6 ounces of formula every 3 to 4 hours. He also has some rice cereal before bed. Dr. Roberts said we could add in more cereal and begin trying to spoon feed it to him. We tried once but he just didn't know what to do with it so we'll try again soon.
• One of the best changes is that Blake is sleeping through the night. He has been doing this for a while but has recently been going to sleep earlier and staying asleep longer. Last night he went to sleep at 7:00 and slept until 6:00 this morning. Eleven hours! I don't even know what to do with myself when he goes to bed this early.

I'm sure we will have more milestones to tell about soon, it's going by too fast. These are some pics from the last couple of weeks. Enjoy!

Almost Four Months

My sweet bald baby will be four months old on Friday. We will visit the pediatrician on Thursday for a check-up and more shots. Until then here are some (mostly) happy shots from the past couple of weeks.

The obligatory baby in the laundry basket pic. Why mommy why?




I've fallen and I can't get up.


A thumb is not good enough for Blake, he needs to suck on at least 3 fingers.

Justin and I got a new computer and have been playing around with the pictures. I just wanted to see if this collage would work. These are some recent photos of Blake. More to come later.

Please Pardon Our Progress

I am playing around with the blog layout so if you come on here and it looks crazy, please check back later.

Blake Loves Spring

I'm thinking maybe I should delete my previous post about Blake starting to teethe and being cranky. He was a completely different baby this weekend. He was very happy and entertained us all weekend with his sweet giggles. The weather was nice and warm which provided for plenty of photo ops. We wanted to try out the baby carrier so Saturday we took a stroll around the neighborhood. Blake loved it. He laughed every time Justin would bounce up and down. Sunday we had a fun photo shoot outside my parents house. My dad bought a tractor and of course we needed pictures. I hope the nice weather continues so we can keep taking Blake out. I know getting out of the house is one reason he was in a better mood.







I think Blake was more interested in sucking on the wheel than steering it.

Bonus pics because they're cute:
