I suppose if I didn’t write for long enough, I’d finally be able to start a post with...BLAKE IS TALKING!!!
One of his first words was screamed out in the mall while I was waiting on line at the Gap and Keith was running around with Blake. All of a sudden Keith hears Blake yell “COCK!” Which was kind of alarming until Keith saw a giant clock and realized that Blake was pointing at it yelling “COCK! COCK! COCK!” So that’s how we learned that Blake knows how to say “clock” but leaves out the extremely important ‘L’ in the middle. We do what any parent in this situation would do and take every opportunity to have him say clock.
Added to Mama, Dada, and c(l)ock, we have green bean, nana (banana, obvi), beer, cheese, noo-noos (noodles), broom, star, moon, ball, done, tail, down...the list goes on. Oh, then he accidentally learned that he has a “pee-pee” when I was asking him if he went pee pee. So he decided that that IS his pee-pee. Then somehow (Keith claims he didn’t teach him this) he knows that underneath his pee-pee is his “ball.” So between identifying his privates, beer and cheese, I think we’ve got the important things covered.
The Devs started the New Year sick, which I guess is pretty indicative of the way I feel about turning 30 this month. It’s hard enough to believe that I’m not 16 anymore, but to not even be in my 20’s is too much for me to handle. Add that to the fact that I haven’t been ID’d at Total Wine in like, 5 years when they clearly wear buttons that say they ID under 30 - which, thank you very much, I’m NOT yet. So I can’t even sit here and be like, OMG BUT I LOOK YOUNG, because according to EVERY EMPLOYEE EVER at Total Wine, I look like I’m over 30. But I digress...
Christmas was really overwhelming (but totally perfect) and our house is overflowing with toys. While Blake plays with all his toys, he still wants to read ALL the time. He loves identifying things in books and he remembers everything. He also loves Bob the Builder because he watched a lot of TV while he was sick. He points at the TV and yells, “Bob!” Then often proceeds to say “Bob” every time Bob comes on the screen...which is all the time because the show is called BOB THE BUILDER...like...Bob is the main character. But as long as he isn’t watching Thomas the Tank Engine he can yell Bob all day. I hate Thomas.
Blake still loves to bake with me (I call it “blaking” because I enjoy combining Blake with things that rhyme with his name. I don’t know why I just admitted that) and he even has his own miniature apron. This was one of my purchases made during the week before Christmas when I would buy something and swear it was the last thing I was buying for Blake. Then you see a little apron at Crate & Barrel in Blake’s size and you’re like, yup, I’ll take that. Why not add in a mini spatula? Oh, a little toy chainsaw - Blake would love a chainsaw. A PUZZLE. WITH ANIMALS. I’LL TAKE IT! And then I’m like, ok really, I’m done. Except really the only reason I was done was because it was Christmas Eve and I had no choice but to be done because if I saw something else cute I probably would have bought it.
So this is the part where I’m like, whoops...I let like, 3 months go by and didn’t update anything and a million things happened. And I kind of hate myself for it. So I’m not going to try to update three months worth because I’m not interesting enough for anyone to want to read all that at once. Instead, I’ll attempt to update more often and stop being a slacker. Just kidding, I wake up at 4:30 AM four days a week to coach, work a full time job, and I have a one year old. And my motto in life is, why do today what you can do tomorrow, or the next day...or the next!?
