Blake's Updates

I was originally going to save this update for Blake's 18 month post, but he's been doing so many fun new things lately that I don't want to forget any of it! I better get to writing, this kid is changing more and more each day! Love it!

At 17.5 months, Blake says:
Hi Mama, Dada, cracker, book, right there, pirate booty (more like 'puh boo'), more, bubbles, banana, quack quack, uh oh, pool. He also tries really hard to moo like a cow, haha.

He loves:
books, eat, go outside, climbing everything, riding in his little red car, the sandbox, watching tv, blowing bubbles, story time & dancing at the library, slides at the playground, 'racing' with Logan, the chocolate chip cookie at Publix, and he's obsessed with using a fork to eat everything (including crackers!).

His favorite books:
the Elmo Potty Look and Find, anything by Richard Scarry's Busytown, Elmo and Zoe's Book of Seasons, Dora the Explorer and Friends, All About Transportation, and Leapfrog My First Book. He's really good at the Look and Find books!

His favorite foods:
yogurt, toast, whole milk, ritz crackers, bananas, strawberries, pirate booty, chips (just like his brother), and anything he can dip in ketchup (chicken, hamburger, or hot dogs).

His favorite tv shows:
Leapfrog Amazing Alphabet, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Fireman Sam, and Curious George.

His favorite songs:
The ABCs (as sung by Logan), Wheels on the Bus, Spin Again, Shake Your Beanbag, the Itsy Bitsy Spider, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme song.

He's still my chill boy though (well, as compared to his brother at this age anyway) and is totally willing to hang in the stroller and eat a snack while I work out, but at the same time once he is done hanging he is go, go, go! This little man can run fast and almost keep up with his big bro on the playground (or at least he thinks he can, I grab him before he reaches the top!). He's a climber for sure, I've had to rearrange our furniture several times to keep him from catapulting over the couches and jumping off the dining room table. He always has the biggest grin while doing it though! Miraculously he hasn't tried to climb out of his crib, and he is still an amazing sleeper at home - sleeps from 7pm to 6:30 am most days and naps from 1 pm to 2ish pm every day. He still occasionally catches a quick cat nap to and from our morning activities but mostly he is all done with a morning snooze! He finally loves to swim (after tons of pool afternoons in our front yard) and is getting better at holding his own in the water! This summer is going to be a blast with these two boys :)
