Blake is ONE!

Oh my goodness, I can't forget to write a post about my littlest man turning the big o-n-e year old! I know I say this too much, but time really does fly. Some days it seems like he was just born! We are seriously so blessed to have Blake in our family. He adds so much! He is so sweet, loving, smart, and adorably cute (well, I might be a little biased, hehe.

He made the transition from bottles to milk in a sippy cup pretty easily, just like his brother. But he eats a TON, which is so different from Logan! I'm not used to having a baby that eats so much. He just shovels it in then signs for more! Speaking of signing, we started doing the signs for 'more' and 'all done' kind of sporadically, whenever we'd remember really, and the other day he just sort of picked it up...what a smartie! :)

He's also my walking man. He took his first steps quite awhile ago, then graduated to standing on his own, then took his first real steps (on his own, withot any prompting) at his orthopedic appointment (he showed those silly hips! No more hip dysplasia for him!), then just took off and never stopped while we were at Logan's 3 year check up. Must be something about doctors' offices that makes him wanna WALK! Now he is our little speedy terror that wreaks havoc in all corners of the house (just ordered another baby gate the other night, lol).

We celebrated with chocolate cake at Mimi & Grandad's house before we left from Christmas vacation, and we celebrated again on the night of his birthday with a piece of chocolate cake that Logan and I picked out at Publix. We love Blake, and he loves chocolate!

Part of me is sad that my baby is officially a toddler now, but most of me is excited because if you ask me, the best part of babyhood is after they start walking! Life gets really fun! :)
