Growing Update!

Blake’s 1 year update! At birth Blake weighed 8lbs 7ozs and was 22in long. He is now 28.6lbs and is 34in Tall. He has 10 teeth (two of which are molars) and is eating real food. He has been of of the bottle since the day after his birthday but still has a passy. I can't take it all away at once, (even though Dr. Sultemeier told us too.) He is wearing a size 7 XWide shoe (pretty hard to find)! He can not only walk but now he is also running!

We love you Blake and look forward to what year # 2 brings!

This picture was taken in an old little church in Quanah TX. We went to visit my grandmother and go to church with her. Like always we ended up in the nursery. You can tell how old the nursery was by the red carpet, rocking chair and the wooden crib.

Has it really been a month?

First, I would like to apologize to Blake's Grandparents and Great Grandparents for my lack of blogging this past month! I often thought that when Blake was older I would have more time to do things but O was I so ever wrong. It seems like now that he is walking I never have a free minute. It would take me way to long to get everyone caught up on a month of blogging so I'm going to just post a few of pictures with short captions. Enjoy!

The Birthday Boy!


Blake loved his ball that Aunt Meo and Uncle Jo Jo got him!


Daddy cooking (oops I mean Grillin) burgers


A few of Blake’s gifts


Noni (My sweet mother n law) with Baby Lawson

Lawson with his mommy (Amy). This was Lawson’s first birthday to attend!


Karianna and Rylan (Blake’s Girlfriend)


Poppy (my dad) with Baby Lawson. Lawson was a big hit. It is unreal to me that this time last year that was how little Blake was!


Riley (Blake’s first cousin) going down the slide! Such a big girl.

That’s what I thought! I said NO ICE TEA but now we have proof. Grampy giving him sweet tea and Noni watching. So it wasn’t the cake that made him not sleep it was the tea!



A few guest at the party.

More guest! Thank you guys for coming!


Blake’s first piggy (fire truck) bank.

And on to the cake.

What a mess!


Here is his favorite car that his Aunt Becca and Uncle Brian gave him. I must say that he does love this car but I’m more proud of it because I put it together. What happened to snap together toys? I had to use a screwdriver, drill and hammer!
