Last weekend we went to Sims Farm for a little fall fun.  They have a corn maze, hayrides, bounce house, and other activities for the kiddos.  I know in the years to come Blake will really enjoy everything they have to offer, but for now I get to dress him up and take lots of pictures of my cutie!

this is the best one I got of the 3...

maybe one day it will be a little easier to get a decent picture of the cousins?

it's a start

somebody is going to be walking soon...

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

off to Gram & Grandpa's we go

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

Blake & his Great Grandparents

~ 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
