This past year with Blake has flown by!! He has really changed our whole family and brought us all together :) something about having two kids (especially two brothers) really made us feel more like a 'family'! I always dreamed of having a sibling growing up and I think Blake and Logan are going to have that relationship I always wanted. They love being around each other which makes me happy!
Since I've been doing a little survey for Logan each year, I thought I should really do the same for our left out second child ;)
His personality: Seriously, this kid is a ham! He is the sweetest little guy, never really ever fights with anyone and I don't think I've really ever seen him be aggressive. If someone asks for a toy, Blake will almost always hand it over, no questions asked! He's my snuggler too, loves to give hugs and be held. But at the same time, he is wildly independent! He thinks he can do anything his brother can do (and he can do most of it, too!). He's always smiling or laughing, and thinks everything is funny. He's always been a talker, and has lately started talking in full sentences and talks NON STOP (just like his brother). It's actually kind of overwhelming to take them both with me to the store, neither of them will stop talking long enough for me to think! ;) He loves to tell stories about what he did that day or what Logan is up to. He definitely loves to try and keep up with Logan - he knows his alphabet and can identify tons of letters, counts up to 12 in English and to 5 in Spanish. Crazy!
His favorite toys/things to do: Blake is still a technology man, through and through. It's so funny because Logan hasn't really ever been into that - he didn't want to watch tv until he was closer to two and a half, and he loses interest in the iPad fairly quickly. Blake, on the other hand - I'm pretty sure he could spend all day rotating between Netflix and the iPad if given the chance! :P As far as toys go, he does love his "puppy," or Barky as Logan has affectionately named him - a stuffed dog that Blake likes to drag around. He also loves Legos, playing with the kitchen, doing puzzles (this one is definitely a favorite for him!), stickers, and his bike and helmet. And of course he likes to do whatever his brother is doing!
His favorite places to go: Blake is always asking to go to Mimi & Gra's house and to Abuelita & Abuelo's house! In fact, he might choose to live there instead if we gave him the option ;) He also likes going to the "dog store" (Petco) and "the playground" (any park, really, since he LOVES the swings). And he loves trips to Target so he can request apple juice from Starbucks!
He loves to eat: pasta, chips, pancakes, yogurt, milk, pirate booty, cheese, popsicles (he calls them 'ice pops'), guacamole, bananas with peanut butter, pizza, and chicken. Not really much of a veggie/fruit eater unfortunately...but he does love meat and bread! Some days this little guy can out eat his big brother!
His favorite tv shows/movies: I'm pretty sure Blake will watch whatever you put on...but his faves are the Wild Kratts, Color Crew, the LeapFrog shows (especially Amazing Alphabet and Phonics Farm), Secret Agent Oso, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Mater's Tall Tales. His fave movies are Monsters Inc, Monsters University, Cars, and VeggieTales Pirates Who Don't Do Anything.
His favorite books: Polar Bear, Polar Bear is a favorite! We have to read that one over and over again. He also has a set of Monsters Inc books that he really likes, and then of course the Wheels on the Bus book, Dragons Love Tacos, and any of the Dora the Explorer books. He's also really into the Look and Find books, so we read Look'n'Find with Bear, Elmo's Potty Book, and Jake and the Neverland Pirates Look'n'Find a LOT.
His Favorite songs: I didn't include this one for Logan because he's not quite as musically inclined, but Blake LOVES to sing and dance! He has almost all the words memorized for the songs on our Jump for Joy Christmas cd, and he also loves to sing his ABCs, Wheels on the Bus, Bean Bag Rock, and Spin Again songs. He's constantly requesting a new song/cd in the car!
