Awe dun!

That's Blake's way of saying, "All done!" When he's done his milk or meals or takes off his coat, etc, etc, he enjoys saying, "Awe dun!" or "Awe gone!" I LOVE it!! Too flippin' cute. Of course, being our son we think he's the cutest thing walking the earth, but MAN IS HE CUTE! Everyday he gets funnier and cuter! He's copying what we say sometimes, which is a lot of fun! We just have to be a bit more careful about what/how we're saying it! Blake's feeling a lot better finally. His ear infection must be gone and he is not stuffed up or coughing anymore. He still has 4 days of antibiotics left. Blake's very helpful these days. We ask him to put his diaper away after we wrap it up and he takes it to his Diaper Genie, he gets a clean diaper out when asked, he gets his coat and shoes and clothes and many, many other things. It's amazing how fast they learn! When it's meal or snack time we ask him to go to his chair and he runs to his high chair!! It's pretty cool to see how fast he is learning and sometimes we don't even realize what he knows! We enjoy pointing out various body parts with him. He's mastered his ears, nose, eyes, head, hair, feet, teeth, and belly! We've started pointing out his elbows and knees now! When he's up and not eating, he is go, go, go, go, go. He literally never stops. Just run and dance and play, play, play! No wonder he sleeps so well! Blake has his last swimming lesson on Saturday. In a few months, most likely in the New Year, we're going to register him in the next session - Bubblers. This lesson is called Splashers. On Friday I took Blake for his third hair cut. We probably should have gone a month ago, but finally made it on Friday! He sat still for the first 5 minutes and that was it! He was ready to get down and play after that. We take him to Beaners in St. Albert now and they are awesome. He sits in a "quad" which keeps him entertained for a short time! Every time he gets his hair cut he looks older :( It's like cutting away the babyishness!!! (is that even a word?? I don't think so, but I'm going to use it anyway!) On Sunday my Mom, Erica and Danielle came over for a visit. For the first time, Blake showed a jealous side! When I was holding Danielle he got a bit upset. He'd run over and try to climb in my lap too! I think he was being a bit possessive of Mom :) I'm sure everything will be okay with our new baby, it will be a bit of an adjustment for him. And hey, I have two arms right?! As long as Blake doesn't squish the baby!! At the end of next week I have to go for the icky gestational diabetes test - blah! But I have to get it done before my Dr.'s appt. on Nov. 3. The baby is kicking A LOT! I thought Blake was a kicker, but this one moves way more (or at least I feel it way more). I wonder if it's because its brother is always "squishing" it??!! Maybe they're already fighting?! LOL! I think my belly is a lot lower with this baby. I think I carried Blake a lot higher. Just something I've noticed! We hope everyone is doing well and keeping warm! Our thermometers have certainly dropped ... Take care :)
