9 month photos!

Hey all! So despite the fact that last week we found out that Blake has a severe peanut allergy-we are doing great! Although we hope and pray that this allergy leaves him someday we are soooo thankful for the amazing growing boy that we have! Here are a few 9 month pictures to mark his awesome progress!

Hey guys I am waiting for someone to sit next to me!I am such a happy little boy!Here I am in my wagon:)

Ohh-now for the white background-look guys I can stand!

Here I am on another bench...come on ladies join me:)

Anyone want to sit by me???

Happy B-Day Beau!

Labor day we had the opportunity to go spend some time with Justin's family and wish Blake's 2nd cousin a happy 1 year! It was really a good time spent with family and so fun to see how much the boys have grown in such a short time. a funny moment would be when Blake headed off in the yard by himself-off to explore as I am sure he will do often a boy of Justin Dobbins, and Julie and Joel yelled "Wait don't let him go too far there is rabbit poop out there!" Yikes!

Fun at the Fair!

This weekend we had some "Epic Fun" at the Puyallup State Fair with Blake. We enjoyed the animals from around the world and even saw a Zebra, Emu and Ze-Donk (yes that is a Zebra crossed with a Donkey) up close. Blake enjoyed his first fair scone, one of many I am sure, and was as interested in the balloons, fans, and hay as he was the animals...But I have to say one of my favorite moments involved this photo booth and the three of us fun times!

Splish, Splash we were taking a Bath....

Here are some great pictures of Blake taking a bath one morning with mommy! He LOVES bath time and it is finally getting to the point where he can really have fun:) He is starting to be able to give high fives and kisses- what a BIG boy!

Laughing at the funny shower sprayer!

Big Smile for mommy!

Funny memories...

Here a few funny things that happen with a 6-9 month old son...

"Somewhere between the innocence of babyhood and the dignity of manhood lies a sweet creature called...boy"

Yes that is our son trying to drink the wine-anything shaped like that (no matter the size apparently) he thinks is his to drink! Ha! Reading the Bible before bed

This particular evening Justin is reading to Blake about Martha and Mary. I hear him reading then all of a sudden he goes "See that picture," it is picture of a cartoon Martha running around cleaning like a crazy woman, "that's mommy!" Nice! But funny also! Blake and Daddy after the "donut" incident:)

That's right folks Justin gave Blake a donut (not the icing part) without thinking "Oh, he hasn't been introduced to eggs, butter, flour, sugar....whoopsie! Notice Justin has a look of fear and Blake has a look of "whats wrong guys?
Mom and Me on the plane ready to go to Colorado! Mom is crazy and tried to feed me my mashed peas and bananas (not mixed:)) on the plane I made quite the mess! In the backyard taking pictures for my 7 month!

Summer Fun!

Well we have been up to a bunch this summer and Blake has been moving more and more! He currently stands and tries to walk, often too fast which has resulted in the occasional bump and bruise, luckily he gets over them fast, but unluckily he can't remember why it happened and he does the same trick again:) It is soo amazing to watch him grow up and see who he is, he is such a sweet boy with a great laugh and love of life. he got his dad's love of adventure and his mom's determination (some might call it stubborness:)) which creates for quite fun around the house! Here is a video of him discovering that he can move outside of the couch area:)
