NINE Months And Counting!!!

Little Miss Priss is Nine Months Old!  She is just an absolute dream.  We thought Cole was a really good baby, but Blake is just the sweetest, happiest little girl.  She is such a perfect addition to our family!  She is still a fabulous sleeper - I even have her on a great nap schedule now.  She sleeps from 7pm to 6:30am each night without waking and she takes a two hour nap in the morning and about an hour and a half nap in the afternoon.  She is VERY determined to do what her brother does...or at least get what he has - which creates lots of "drama" in the house.  She is crawling on her knees now (she was a combat crawler for a while).  She also is pulling up on everything, chairs, doors, your legs, Cole's big toys...whatever is near and she can get too.

Blake likes to:
Listen to ANY type of music, watch Mickey Mouse Club with her brother in the morning, eat "real" food like pancakes, waffles, tortillas, peas, pasta, chicken, just about anything we give her in small bites, talk to the dogs at the back window, talk, talk, talk (mostly dadadadada), drink from her sippy cup (or Cole's if he leaves it in her reach), and go in the car for little trips (she is a good car rider so far).

AND SHE STILL LOVES BIG BOWS...in fact she lowered herself to the floor (with my guiding hand) to get a different bow...see I told you!

Fun In The Sun!

It was actually nice enough to take the kids outside this afternoon...windy, but nice and warm...can't wait for Spring (BTW...I did not say 100+ degree weather).






This picture makes me laugh...like, "Jeez mom why?"

Blake's Place

Blake's favorite place to play is by the door...teasing the dogs...you can see all of her handprints and the dog's nose prints on the door.  She drives them crazy, but has so much fun!!!







Wanna Smooch???

I gave Blake her first taste of mini-ravioli...she LOVED them (at least what she got in her mouth).

Why Do We Buy Toys???

I was doing laundry today and Cole was determined for me to give him rides in the basket...he is over 40 pounds...that is tough on this old Mommy, so I told him that Daddy would give him rides when he got home.  Guess who did NOT forget???

Pretty Pink Chair

Blake LOVES her new Pretty Pink Chair.  She is not quite sure how to get out of it once she is sitting in it...so she just flings her body to the floor...scares the crud out of me...but it doesn't bother her at all.
