Blake Update...

Blake is 9 months old already. I cannot even believe how fast time flies when you have kids! It seems like you blink and all of a sudden they are so big. Well, Blake is at a very fun age right now where he is so curious, babbling, and just plain fun to be around. He also started "army crawling" recently and is able to get anywhere he wants.

Last Sunday, he was exploring at my in-laws house and fell down 13 stairs into their basement. Needless to say, we spend 5 1/2 hours in the ER and after a CT scan, the doctors determined that there was no bleeding in the brain, however there was a questionable spot behind his left ear possibly leading to some hearing loss. So we are dealing with figuring out whether this hearing loss is due to an infection that he may have had already or if it is related to the fall he took on Sunday. We will re-evaluate the situation and I will keep you all updated.

Here are the most recent stats...
Height: 28 inches

Weight: 22 lbs. 2 oz.

First word: Ma Ma (love it!)

Favorite Foods: Well at 22 lbs. 2 oz. I am sure you can tell that he likes about anything that comes his way. His favorite foods are applesauce and Cheerios. He will eat any and all varieties of Gerber veggies. We will be introducing yogurt, cheese, and other foods that we eat in mushed up form.

Activities: Crawling, sleeping, eating, playing with Tyler, watching Tyler play, getting his toys taken away by Tyler (he loves his brother anyway), trying to play/crawl on/grab/or pinch Lily who is a good sport and just looks at Blake with that "get away from me" kind of look.
