And Then There Were 2 ...

Teeth that is!! This evening I noticed that the tooth next to the one that popped up last week is breaking the surface! Could be why Blake has been a little bit out of sorts today! Well that and the fact that he had immunizations yesterday! Although I must say that the 6 month ones were a lot better then the previous 2! There was no crying afterwards, just a bit when the needle went in and then that was all! Much easier on me!! Blake now weighs 16 lbs 7 1/4 ounces and is 26" long. I thought he was longer then that last time, but apparently not! Silly Mom!! He is in the 48th percentile for length and 46th for weight. His weight gain has certainly tapered off! He gained like a tank at the beginning! Thank goodness he didn't keep going at that rate! He has his 6 month appt. with the pediatrician this Tuesday. Hope you're having a good weekend! Stay warm (it's snowing here right now)!

Happy Halloween!

We had a fun Halloween!! Blake and I started the day with our last fall Aquababies class. Then we went to a party at Jodi and Jared's house. I made these really cute little treat bags for Blake to give to all his friends! The party was hilarious with all the babies in their costumes! Some were not impressed!! Blake seemed to be the opposite - he laughed and giggled and smiled and looked around as if to say, "Look at me! I'm so cute in this costume!" He is such a character sometimes! In the evening Cal took Blake to a few houses in the neighbourhood and we took some pictures. It was a pretty long day - but very fun!!! Yesterday we had our last fall Salsa Babies class, followed by a pot luck at one of the ladies houses. Today Blake has his six month immunizations. I can not believe he is almost six months old (Nov. 5)!? Where does the time go?? Argh! He is sitting up on his own quite well, although we are putting a pillow behind him! And once he discovers that the pillow is behind him it seems to be a game for him - every time you sit me up, I throw myself back onto the soft pillow!! So much fun!!!! He's also decided that every time we put him on his stomach he should roll to his back! Which isn't helping out the bald spot on the back of his head!! LOL! Next week we start a new round of activities! Tuesdays we are going to baby lap time at the library, Wednesday's Aquababies again and New Mom's Group, and Thursday's Salsa Babies. Lots of fun!! Hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween!! Take care!
