a blake update

^Blake and his "mon-mower"

^big load of train tracks coming through!

We've made it through a rough month with Blake and now we are beginning to see the sunshine! He's had a cold, Hand & Foot Disease, and a case of terrible cabin fever. Now that we can get out again, we are all much, much happier! 

He's been delayed with his speech, but has made a lot of improvements lately, for which we are grateful. 

Some adorable things he says:

-"Ca-case pway" --He constantly asks to play with his friend Casey who lives a few doors down. 

-"Ay-ee sad" for Evelyn sad

-"mommy's house" when he wants to go home

-"apples neigh" for when he wants to feed the horses 

-"Elmo?" can't get enough of Elmo and would watch Elmo's Song all day long if we let him

Loves:

-Books

-Mowing the lawn

-Being outside and helping dad read: playing with dad's tools

-Bubbles

-Playing. He has learned that playing is a lot more fun than sleeping. He now wakes up at 6:45 on the dot! Coming from the boy that has slept in until 8 his whole life, this is a brutal wake-up call for us. Literally. 

Love this sweet boy of ours.
