Blake Walks!

Ok, so Blake has been taking steps for about three weeks or so, but i finally managed to get a good viedo and get it on to the computer. He is really starting to get around now. He is getting so big. He can keep up with all the big kids now. He still gets down and bear crawls when he wants to go really fast.

So, summer is about over and I know I have missed a lot. I will try to catch up, but here are a few pictures for now. Blayne and Blake both love to play in the water, so we spend alot of time outside.

This next one is Blayne and his friend Tenley "sharing" the blanket. Not to be confused with playing tug of war.

and this is sweet Blake before his birthday party

finally

Blake is ten months old and finally his first tooth has peeped through his little gums! I am pretty sure there will be more soon. Yeah!

I love it

Well it looks like Blayne has decided to teach Blake to walk. This has to be one of the greatest things I have seen. Blake kept trying to get on the little 4 wheeler while blayne was playing with it. The first time Blayne just draged Blake across the grass on his nose, but Blake is very determined and kept going back. so after laughing for a while we had to get a viedo of it, of course. Oh, the fun they will have!

Hmm Whats this?

So last night I was checking email and Blayne was in the room with me watching the fish and playing. I hear him say "hmm whats this?"...followed by some pounding with his cup on the floor. humm whats this is'nt really an odd thing for him to say, but after the pounding I decided to see what he was up to. I look down and there it is, not far at all from my bare feet is a huge semidead scorpion.......I guess he's not afraid of bugs. I didnt want to scare him so I said" oh, good job, but lets tell mommy and let her help us when we find those kind of bugs because they can sting us and make us cry".
I couldnt believe my 2 yr old killed a scorpion. I think he was rather proud of himself for killing such a big bug. I am just glad it didnt sting him and wonder what it was doing in the house. Now I am watching everywhere I step. eek. oh, and also paying attention when Blayne says" humm, what's this".

Singing in the Tub

Blayne prefers singing in the tub rather than singing in the shower...here's a fun video of him singing his ABC's. Two year olds are so fun!

Camping

Well it took me a little while to manage to get the pictures on to the computer, but couple of weeks ago we went camping with Nene and Papa and had alot of fun. It was very nice during the day, but got cooold at night. the first night Bryan were tough guys and slept in the tent, while Blake and I slept in Nene and Papa's camper. I mean I had to sleep where it was nice and warm, you cant let an eight month old sleep in the cold right?? Well the second night was even colder so we all ended up sleeping in the camper, and Blake did his best to keep everyone up all night.

Blayne and his daddy did some fishing. I didn't get to help cause I didn't get a fishing license. Blayne really likes to fish......for about three minutes at a time, but the boy likes to fish.Here they are off to do a little more fishing. They went several times. Blayne would get down there fish for a few minutes then say " I'm done". Then after a while he was asking to go again.

Blake had fun too. He enjoyed crawling around after Otis (below). I don't think Otis was as fond of the idea though. I think Blake will enjoy camping more when he can get down and run around too.
