The End

I have been so blessed to have such an amazing little girl, my Baby Blake. I think I will always refer to her as my Baby, and I know eventually she will tell me that she's not a baby anymore, which will probably crush my heart. Having a second child has been the best decision Ray and I have ever made. I joke around that I did it for KK, so she would have someone to play with, BUT in fact I did it for me. I loved seeing her develop into this unbelievable little girl. It brings tears to my eyes thinking of all of her firsts - first time I saw her, the first time she held my finger, first cry, first smile, first laugh, first bath, first word (Mama), first rollover, first crawl, and many more. She will have so so many more "firsts" and I can't wait to see everyone of them.

Blake's Favorites:
Food - Spaghetti
Drink: Juice
Activity - Cruising (Holding onto things and walking)
Object - Pacifier
Person - Right now.....Daddy

Her SMASH Cake!

Wow, Blake is the BIG ONE!!! Lots of friends helped Blake celebrate at her birthday party today. We thought she was going to dive into her smash cake, but Blake had other plans. I think she was a little embarrassed with all the eyes on her that she started to cry. She calmed down a bit and finally tried her cake, but she was still was not that into it.

Day 363 - 7/11

We had a busy, but fun day today. This morning we went to a friend's house for a playdate, came home for 30 minutes, and then left for KK's swim lessons. We got back home around 3:30, Blake had a little cat nap, and then I woke her up so we could drop KK off at VBS.
