Well, my little guy is almost a year old! How did that happen?? Time to plan the birthday party! Blake has had an amazing month - things just seemed to click for him. He can push up now and is so close to being able to crawl! I am thrilled and terrified at the same time - there go my showers or getting any house work done whatsoever! But I am happy - so happy. Blake has a couple of words to his credit - Dada and Mama and he is starting to wave bye-bye and clap! He smiles in response so readily. It is so cute to watch him interact with us. He knows when Daddy tells him "I am proud of you, Blake" - Blake's whole face just lights up! It is precious to watch.
Blake had several doctor's appointments over the past month and has been deemed very healthy - no Hirschsprung's disease and his heart seems to be doing well. He had his first visit to Children's hospital because Blake has taken on a new hobby - he likes to pop his knees in and out of joint just for fun! And to drive Momma crazy! O my heavens! What to do with that boy!? The doctor's best advice - IGNORE IT! Which I am trying to do, with difficulty. Dan and I look at each other and mutter "Rice Crispie Time" every time he sets to doing that. The doctor said it isn't harmful but that it probably means Blake will walk a bit later since his joints are some of the loosest on record.
Well, the next time Blake has a birthday, it will be the big one! So amazing how fast this year has been. Blake is such a joy! I hope these pictures give you a little smile. He sure brings me plenty of those.
My little sleeping angel...so sweet.
It's so warming to see your family play with each other! I can see joy and contentment on Blake's face. You are an inspiration! Happy summer to you guys. Blessings, Jan
