9 months old

so what's new?
I am running way behind on updating the blog, but I have a good reason...one very active 10 month old!

so this is what all you have been up to at 9 months old

at your 9 month check up ~19 lbs 5 oz, 27.5 inches
you still have an ear infection and are on your third antibiotic
you are all over the place. pulling up and walking along the furniture.
you can stand by yourself and you are getting better and better with your balance
you have taken a few steps but are not quite ready to walk just yet
made a trip to Hilton Head {with just mommy} to visit Gram & Grandpa
weight at 9 1/2 months ~ 20 lbs
I think you have pretty much given up on baby food
these 'month' pictures are pretty much impossible to take anymore, definitely a 2 man job

The other week Blake and I made a trip to Bluffton to visit Gram & Grandpa {Boo & Papa ~ named by Griffin} for a few days. We met my parents half way in Macon on the way down which was nice, but made the trip home solo which was not so nice. Blake enjoyed his time being spoiled and playing with all of the toys Gram & Grandpa have for the boys. Here are just a few pictures from our long weekend

interested in Grandpa's golf clubs

checking out Thomas the Train

~ Day 3 ~

Blake loves puppets and had fun playing with this monkey puppet that was uncle Chad's when he was a child

Game Day

for some reason Blake has a huge interest in looking under rugs and would crawl from one side of the rug to the other looking under it. He made sure to check out all of Gram's rugs

taking a ride on Thomas

later that afternoon we went on a bike ride

On our way home we stopped in Vidalia to visit with Justin, Anna & Alec. The boys were so cute playing together

SO CUTE!

8 months old

Blake, this is all happening way to fast. This month was huge...you are mobile now and are a very curious little boy. Here is what you have been up to this month

weight at 8 months ~ 18lbs 13oz, weight at 8 1/2 months ~ 19lbs 4.5oz
you are saying "mama" ~ when I pick you up from daycare Mrs. Judy says you say "mama" and "dada" all day.
you are crawling and you are fast! you keep bruising your poor little forehead because you like to crawl on the tile at school and the hardwood at home.
you have 8 teeth...well you are cutting teeth 7 & 8 {4 on top, 4 on the bottom}.
started eating finger foods. I figured with all of those chompers you should have no problem with table food.
you are pulling up
got your 1st ear infection {in both ears}
mommy left you overnight for the first time :( daddy took good care of you and I don't even think you knew mommy was gone.

first trip to the Zoo

We got a good deal on a family membership to the Chattanooga Zoo and made our first visit last weekend. I think Blake will enjoy it more as he gets older. Here are a few pictures from Blake's first trip to the Zoo.

Blake looks thrilled

Haley's Wedding Weekend

We have had a busy July...first our beach vacation in Jupiter and then a trip to Mobile for my cousin Haley's wedding. Blake did great on both trips. I am so glad that the Purvis side of the family was finally able to meet Blake! I had a busy weekend with a wedding shower, bridesmaid luncheon, rehearsal dinner and then the wedding while Jake & Blake got to spend some quality time together. Here are a few pictures from our non-stop weekend.
