There is a lot of different things I could blog about today. I told Tyler my new years resolution is to update the blog more :) But I thought since Blake is now 13 months I would do a picture review of his first year. I should have done this a month ago but at least I'm doing it :).The picture above and below the words go with each month.
Blake Gerald came into our lives on November 24, 2011 at 4:23pm weighing 7 pounds 5 ounces and 20 inches long.
------------
1 month- He was 9 lbs. 6 oz. and 22 inches long. He rolled from his tummy to his
back at just two and a half weeks! He also started smiling at us :)
------------
2 months-He weighed 13 lbs 8 oz and was 24 inches long. He rolled from his back to his tummy on January 31st! He started holding his head up on his own and he liked to stand up when we held him.
------------
3 months-Weighed
about 15 pounds. He started laughing a little bit. He was wearing
mainly 6 month clothes. He loved being in his jumperoo. He
started to really enjoy playing with daddy.
------------
4 months- He
weighed 16 lbs 6 oz and was 25 inches long. He started playing with his
tractor and loves Harry the octopus. He liked to go outside and play
with our cats. He still really liked being in his jumperoo.
------------
5 months- He was 17 lbs 5.5 oz and 26 1/2 inches long. He was sitting up on his
own, he crawled for the first time and he started pulling himself up.
We started finding him everywhere throughout the house. As you can see
he was developing his goofy personality :) He was blowing bubbles a
lot! He really liked to play with our cell phones.
------------
6 months-He
went into the woods for the first time and loved it! He also really
liked Diesel and just being outside. He still loved being with his
daddy. He started getting into everything!
------------
7 months-He
was 19 lbs 10 oz. and 29 inches. He started standing up on his own and
would push things around the house. He also liked being pushed around
the house :) He loved eating anything but sweet corn and cucumbers were
some of his favorite. He got his first tooth on July 3rd! And he liked
pulling things out of the boxes I was packing as we were preparing to
move.
------------
8 months- He
took his first steps on August 10th. Loved helping daddy work on the
farm and getting tractor rides! He started playing with his farm toys
all the time. Went squirrel hunting for the first time, and loved it!!
-----------
9 months- He
started walking on Sept. 7th!! Had 2 bottom teeth. He liked to help
with harvest any chance he could. He was walking all over the place!
Still loved to be outside and play in the yard or with the dog.
-----------
10 months- He loved being with daddy working on the farm still. He liked to pet the deer daddy brought home. When I was not watching him when we were at the field he liked to eat dirt. It only happened a couple times though :)
------------
11 months- He
had 4 teeth. He starting getting a much goofier personality. This
picture shows it perfectly :) And the other picture shows his love for
deer, along with his daddy's :)
--------------
12 months- He weighs 22.6 lbs and is 30 1/2 inches
tall. He has 9 teeth: 4 on top, 3 on bottom and 2 molars. He went into
the hog barn for the first time and he loved it! He is crazier than
ever and runs around the house non stop. He gives kisses and hugs a lot
and likes showing people his teeth.
Without him our lives would be boring! He has brought so much joy and laughter into our lives. He can be onry at times but he can also be really sweet when he wants to be. Our lives wouldn't be the same without him!
A little side by side comparison :)
