Busy, Busy, Busy!

There's been lots going on the last couple of weeks. Blake & I have had lots of outings!

On April 5, we helped throw a baby shower for my sis-in-law, Wendy. Her twin boys are due to arrive on May 5! She got lots of great things to help prepare for their arrival!

My friend, Cherie, came to visit from Columbia during her spring break. She met Blake for the first time & treated me to a belated birthday lunch. Thanks, Cherie!

We've started trying on some of the hats we have for Blake. Most are still too big, but we did find one that fits.

I don't think he liked it, but only because he didn't know how cute he looked!

We had a great Easter with both our families!

Unfortunately, it appears that camera has seen its last days. The flash no longer works & all our pictures come out dark. I'm having to rely on others to email me pictures they take of us.
So, it looks like we'll be camera shopping soon.

On a happier note, we should be able to get the CO on our new place next week, so we could be moving next weekend! Keep your fingers crossed!

My Cup Runneth Over...

Today (April 2) I celebrated my thirty (gulp!) third birthday!
Last night was dinner & cake with my parents, brother, Brian, & Blake. It was a traditional Griswold celebration with the blowing out of candles, then a re-enactment of the blowing out of candles because of "camera malfunction".
For my actual birthday, I spent the day with Blake. It was a typical day with feedings, burpings, diaper changes, & naps. But I swear he smiled at me more today than he ever has. It's as if he knew it was my birthday & was giving me little gifts all day long. My mom (LaLa) came over in the evening to watch Blake so that I could meet Brian for dinner & a movie. We had a delicious dinner at PF Chang's & then saw the movie, "Taken". It was a great night. After we left the movie, Brian presented me with a very sweet card. I also got a heart shaped necklace from him & matching earrings from Blake. I was so surprised & touched! I have a wonderful husband & family. Last year at this time, we didn't even know about Blake & how our life was soon going to change forever! Now, we can't imagine our lives without him! I am truly blessed!

Happy Easter

Blake met the Easter Bunny this past week.
He wasn't really that impressed.

Brian said he was making this face because he was upset about the outfit I made him wear.
I thought his outfit was adorable!

My two favorite men! Both received these hats for Christmas. Blake's finally fits him (almost)!

Caution! Extreme Cuteness Ahead!

Blake & Grandma (or LaLa as she will be called).

Blake & Gramps dressed alike in their sweater vests!

It wasn't planned, I promise!

Seriously, have you ever seen a cuter baby in your life?!

We're going to put that Gerber baby out of a job!

He's going to break some hearts, for sure!

Baby Aerobics

Holy Breast Milk, Batman!

Now, I know how a cow feels! Both pink tubs on the bottom shelf are full of milk. Plus, I've already sent 2 coolers full of frozen breast milk to my parents' house to keep in their freezer! And I've thawed some out to use too! We can barely fit any food in there!

This is getting ridiculous!

More Pictures

More pictures of Blake...

Here's Blake with his cousin, Wade.

Sacked out!

My friend, Amy, knitted this outfit for Blake (hat, sweater, mitts, & socks). Isn't it cute?

Sharp dressed man! Dressed in his Sunday best!

Brian & I look dazed.

Me at 7 weeks old.

Can you see the resemblance between Blake & I?

Ready for the wintry weather!

Blake & Dr. White at my 6 week postpartum appointment. She was the one who delivered him.

I finally managed to capture him smiling! The picture is a little dark though.

Is that the cutest thing you've ever seen or what?

Sitting up like a big boy!
