So, as you can tell this whole writing more than twice a month thing is hard for me! I guess I just don't think that I can write about all of Blake's Big poops! or I stayed home all day with a snot nose teething little boy who kept me up ALL night long. But, oh the joys of being a mom! I love him more than I can explain, and I wouldn't trade him or the opportunity for a million bucks!

The first part of January, Blake and I, along with Ashlee and Kinsey, started a baby massage course. I'm glad I did it I learned a ton! But a word of advice for all you mom's out there who would like to try: do it before your baby learns how to crawl - or in my case learning to walk! It was fun, but Blake was all over the place, wanting to play with the oil, or getting the other kids' toys. But when all said and done, with the 5 week course it was great. I got to spend that one on one time with Blake that everyday life (or being at home with the computer, tv, or my book) doesn't allow! And, hey! On the subject of poops - the stomach massage really helps those little guys work it out! lol

So now that it's over I'm gonna have to plan that one on one time again - maybe take him swimming or something like that. Good thing it's almost Spring!

He's growing so fast!

So, we are gonna try this video thing out! This is for Auntie Erin and Uncle Eric!

They bought Blake a Walk n' Ride scooter for Christmas. We decided to leave it in the box until we got home on the 28th of December and this video is just a few days later. It only took him two or three days to learn! He's such a smart kid!

Thanks Auntie and Erc!

WOW! Time flies!

Is it really January already?? This is just to crazy!! This last month went by so fast and I'm really behind on updating this thing! Well, a quick review and we'll start fresh with the new year!

Blake and I got to have an extended stay in Salt Lake for Christmas! It was a great 3 whole weeks at home with my family. Blake got sick the second week we were there so Grandpa and me didn't get to much sleep that week! But he's doing much better now and yes, the tooth is almost through! Trent joined us in SLC on the 21st, and we had a very busy Christmas week. We got to see Santa, went to a movie as a whole family with the Andersons - a Christmas Eve tradition - got to see some great friends that I haven't seen for so long! and some that I am sure to see everytime I visit- (sorry I missed you this time Nat!) and just had a great time with the family! I miss you guys already!
Well, now that we are home - and the trip home was crazy with the roads - just a good thing we were in a truck hey?! The New Year is already here and 3 days past! it's so weird that Blake is now 9 months old. Time really does fly!
So, I'm not really into New Years resolutions but I HAD to make one -or two - this year. I am bound and determined that my 9 month old son WILL sleep through the night. And so far so good! It's only been 6 nights! but we are 6 for 6! wish me more luck!!
Well, how bout this - for a second one I will try to update this thing more than once a month - or in my case the last little while every 2!
I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a fabulous New Years! Check the links to the left for all the pictures (this takes to long!)
