We celebrated Blake's 2nd birthday last Saturday, July 25th at our house. Those in attendance were Grandma and Grandpa Arbaugh, Grandma and Grandpa Regentin, Grandma Bower, Great Grandma Vogel & Virgil, Great Grandma and Grandpa Regentin, Uncle Jeff; The Zinn's, and The Carlson's. Fortunately the weather cooperated for us. We enjoyed a meal of sloppy joes and lots of sides. Blake had a great time; he was excited all day for his "party"! He got a lot of nice gifts including some money, a JD tractor and wagon, a cell phone, blocks, t-ball set, computer, little tractors, sports decorations for his new bedroom, and from us he got his swingset. He did a great job, giving everyone a hug after he opened their gift.
It is amazing how much he talks. I can't even make a list of things he is saying at this point, because there's nothing that he doesn't say, and he speaks in full sentences. He knows his ABC's and his numbers from 1-10. After he finishes his numbers, he'll say "8,9,10..let's do it again!"
Now we are going to attempt to work on potty training. He will tell us after he goes #2, and sometimes even before he goes #2, but isn't quite sure about going on the potty.
My doctor's appointments have been going well. Hard to believe I am 27 weeks along already. I have another ultrasound on 8/6/09 to check the placenta. Hopefully all goes well. Blake seems to be excited about having a baby sister. He will point to my belly and say "baby Cora". Which, by the way, we have decided on Cora Jane for the baby's name. Now, let's just hope it is still a girl!!
We finally have most of the supplies to start working on Blake's bedroom, now we just have to find the time to do it (painting!). Jody got him some nice decorations for his room for his birthday, and I blew up some pictures from the Tigers game and framed them to hang in his room. Hoping to get him in there and adjusted to the new big boy bed with lots of time before Cora takes over the nursery.
