Family Fun

Blake got to hang out with Granna, Pappy, Aunt Wendy, Uncle John, & all his cousins this past weekend. Wade brought his John Deere Gator & took him for a spin!

Where'd my driver go?

I'll be driving in no time!

On the inside, looking out!


Blake likes to swing with Granna!

February Fun

More pictures of the latest happenings...

Granna & Pappy came to visit on Valentine's Day!

And they brought me a bath toy!

Playing with the frog & duck puppets that LaLa gave me!

Graham crackers are delicious!

Snow!

Valentine's weekend brought snow to Myrtle Beach! It was Blake's first snow, sort of! (We got a few flurries last year, but he was only a few weeks old so we didn't go outside.) The snow brought a lot of excitement to the Grand Strand. We rarely get snow & even more rarely get a few inches of accumulation. We took Blake outside, but he wasn't very interested. He didn't want to touch the snow. It was too cold for him! Here are some pics of the momentous occasion!

How often do you see snow on the beach?

A lot of it had already melted by the time I got down there to take pictures!

So Much to Report!

January has been a whirlwind so far!

Blake started the New Year with a double ear infection & really bad sore throat. Poor little guy! After a couple of weeks of antibitotics, we went back to the doctor a couple of days before his birthday & it was a good thing we did! Blake still had a double ear infection, sore throat, AND bronchiolitis! After more antibiotics & a few days of breathing treatments, however, he was feeling better & back to normal!

Blake's birthday was January 13 & it was lots of fun! Aunt Wendy came to visit & brought a cupcake and a balloon. The balloon didn't last very long, but the cupcake was delicious!




We had more visitors that night. Uncle B made dinner & we were joined by LaLa & Grandpa White. Granna & Pappy came over too! There was more cake to eat & presents to open.

January 16 was Blake's 1st birthday party! It was a blast!. The theme was football & most of the guests wore their favorite team gear to the party. Blake got lots of great toys & some cool summer clothes! We're so thankful to everyone that came out to celebrate Blake's special day; especially those who traveled from far away to come! (Thanks Mike & Jane, Sarah & Jessica!)

In the last few weeks, Blake has been moving around a lot more. He still doesn't crawl in the conventional way, but he gets around pretty fast by army crawling everywhere. He's also learned to say "No, no, no" while shaking his head. He usually gives us a big grin when we tell him no, which makes it even harder to say no to him.

He learns something new everyday & we're so blessed to have him our lives! Now, we're looking forward to warmer weather so we can get outside more!

Blake's First Christmas

Blake's first Christmas was lots of fun. He didn't really know what was going on, but he enjoyed all the paper & boxes. He got lots of great clothes & fun toys! The festivities started on Christmas Eve. We went to Ron & Tammy's (Ron works with Brian). They are so sweet & always have a little gift for Blake. Then, we had the Lewis Christmas at Aunt Diane's house. After that we went to Leonard & Diane's house to have Christmas with them & the Martin family. Christmas Day, we woke up & did our Christmas (the 3 of us). Then, we went to my parents' house for Christmas with them. Blake was exhausted after all the activities that week! I took millions of pictures, of course! Click the link below to see them all. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas & have a safe & Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas is almost here!
Here are a few pics of all the fun we've been having this December.

This cow was one of Brian's toys as a child. Blake loves it!

He did such a great job! Smiled & laughed the whole time!

Sizing each other up!

It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Blake's first Christmas is almost here! He's not as into the tree as I thought he would be. He did play with the ornaments when I sat him down next to the tree. Most of the time he doesn't even pay attention to it though. I've been working on our Christmas cards & hope to send them out later this week! I haven't started any shopping yet, but I usually wait until the last minute anyway.

I'll be busy this week with Thirty-One stuff! This weekend is the cut-off to place orders to get them in time for Christmas! www.mythirtyone.com/hwlewis.

Hope everyone is doing well! I'll try to be better about putting pictures on here! I know we'll have lots coming up!
