Ice Cream Sundae's for Dinner!

Blake is a fan of ice cream nights.  This video was taken AFTER he's already eaten his own little bowl. :)  

That kid loves him some ice cream...MORE, MORE!

Take THAT You Easter Egg!

This kid is ALL BOY!

While Abby sweetly fills her basket with Easter eggs, Blake does this (go to blog to watch video!):

Happy Easter!

We had a fun Easter this year with both kids.  We decorated eggs at home, got to do an Easter egg hunt at Aunt Teri (thanks Aunt Heather) and went to our Club's Easter party on Saturday.  What a fun/long/exhausting weekend!

At Aunt Teri's!

Found one!

And she's off!

Sleepy Big Boy

Blake's class is transitioning out of cribs and into cots - and this is a picture they gave us from the first day!  Apparently he loved it so much, he immediately crawled in it and put himself to sleep!!  *sniff* My little guy is getting so big.

(sorry for the poor quality, it's a picture of a picture!)

Eddie Van Halen (AKA Blake)

Look at that concentration. :)  He's totally the next big rockstar!

Update to "Things my sweet little guy likes to put in his mouth"!

Last week was Blake's follow up appointment at the ENT.  While there, I just happened to pull his pacifier out of his mouth before the appointment and noticed something black inside his mouth.  After much fishing around...I pulled out a screw.  A SCREW!  I figured it out later it was from my sunglasses that he got a hold of and just "pocketed" the screw in his lip.  (Those sunglasses have since been trashed!)

Then, on Friday he had a really rough night.  He was crying/moaning on and off every hour.  Finally around 1:30am I went in just to see if I could rock him and help to settle him down (I thought he was just teething).  I grabbed the Orajel to put on his gums hoping that would make him feel better.  While I was putting in on I felt a sharp poke on my finger.  It was pitch black in his room and I ended up turning the light on to see what the heck that was.  And low and behold...a STAPLE.  We still have no idea where he got that from but I guess he decided to just "pocket" that in his lip that night too.

This kid is definitely keeping us on our toes!!!!

The Queen

A couple nights ago we were all in Abby's room getting her dressed for bed after baths.  Blake walked over and got her little seat from the corner of her room and brought it to her.  She sat down and he got the brush out for her hair!!  I think he's seen us do the routine enough that he knows what comes next. :)

Now we just need to start teaching him how to load the dishwasher and washing machine.

Crazy kids!

These kids love this tunnel and love playing together!  Blake is just at the age where he's starting to be able to keep up with Abby.  I sure hope they will always be best friends!

Dance Time!

Abby and Blake love to dance.  LOVE to dance.  So we've been doing it often...even Nana and Papa got roped in last weekend!  I took these videos this morning. They were so cute, I couldn't narrow it down to just posting one!  Make sure to go to the blog so you can see them all. :)





Maybe the next FlyGirl?  Um, yeah.

Another day, another surgery

We are crossing our fingers that we are officially on the downside of the "sick and can't get over it" hill we've been on the past two months.  Today was Abby's turn to get more ear tubes (her last set was at age 6 months and fell out maybe a year later) and also her adenoids removed.  She was so brave and really only seemed scared a couple times before the procedure.  I was so proud of her!

Once they brought her back out, she was out of it for a while but once she came around, she was back to super happy Abby.  The only thing that bothered her the most was the spot where they put the IV in her little hand.  She will be milking that wound for a while I have a feeling.
