Hats & Boots

Well March has been a really nice month. Most weekends have been pretty mellow and we have been hanging out at home working on the yard and enjoying the beautiful weather we are having. So what else is new...

Blake is obsessed with hats and his cowboy boots. You will see that in most pictures he is either wearing a hat or the boots. He even likes to wear his boots over his pj's. This boy is very particular about what shoes he wears and has to pick out his own shoes. Blake has also learned the word "NO" and he uses it constantly. At this point its kind of cute and hasn't become a problem - but i can forsee our future and it doesn't look pretty. Blake wanders around the house having conversations with himself that consist of "blah blah blah, NO, blah blah". He is obviously telling someone they can't do something. He even talks to Zoe and tells her no on occassion.

We have also entered the temper tantrum zone - we have these daily, most of the time because we don't really understand what Blake wants - and then other times we understand and he isn't getting his way. The typical toddler tantrums. Fun times!

On another note - this past winter was pretty brutal on us in terms of illness. Blake started daycare in September and since then he has had 6 ear infections. We have spoken to a couple of ENT's and think that ear tubes may be in blakes future. We are going to try a few things before we go to tubes - but if the ear infections continue it will be our best option. We hired Blakes nanny, Kara, back. We are so happy about this and can't wait for her to start next week. Blake will only be going to peppertree 2 days a week and Kara will watch him on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We are hoping that with this change and with summer coming we will have fewer colds and ear infections in the coming months. Wish us luck!

Well enjoy our pictures from the month - lots of outside pics of Blake and some pictures of the Easter Egg Hunt we went to this past weekend.

Big Boy!

It just amazes me how fast time goes by and how big Blake is getting. Last weekend Blake pulled his big basket out into the living room and was climbing in and out of it so I thought I would snap a few shots. Wanted to share a series of photos over the past 20 months of Blake and how he is filling up this basket more and more each day.
