Mouth... (my favorite)

Looking handsome as can be...

and again....

April 14, 2009 - We had our 12 week doctor's appointment. Everything went excellent. We got to hear the baby's heartbeat, all of my bloodwork came back good, and the previous ultrasound came back as normal. Can't ask for anything better than that!!

Blake is still growing and amazing me everyday. He's talking more everyday, it seems. His latest words/phrases include "Shut the door"....of course I can't think of any others right now. When he says "sshhhh", instead of putting his finger in front of his mouth, he touches his nose. It's so cute! He also knows most of his body parts (as you can tell from the pictures above). This comes in handy when we are trying to change his diaper and he thinks his hands need to be "down there." He gets easily distracted when you start asking about his body parts! He is very good natured....almost always in a happy, easy-going mood. But occasionally he does have a bad mood and doesn't like to listen to mommy and daddy. We've been drinking a lot of smoothies lately, Blake just LOVES them....that is also another word he says, but it sounds more like "moo-mee." He has also been saying "Big Boy"..usually when he is doing something good like a big boy....like walking down the steps, holding my hand, or eating really well with his utensils. If only we could get him to go potty like a "big boy!"
