Blake is a ray of sunshine in our life. I know God brought him into our family to make us laugh and bring a smile and joy to our life. He is such a happy boy always looking for ways to laugh and will laugh at the strangest things you would not even think would be funny but to him it's hilarious and I along with everyone he meets loves that about Blake.
He loves his big brother so much. He cries when Liam gets hurt or is sad. He will cry after I drop Liam off at school. He can't say Liam so he refers to him as "Bro Bro" It's so cute to hear him call for Liam and if you ask where Liam is he will talk and point and run over to him. He thinks Liam is the funniest person around. Blake laughs at Liam when he does things he's not suppose to like run around the house, jumping off the stairs and sofa. Blake will also tease Liam when he's in timeout and tries to entertain him which gets on Mommy's nerves at times.
Blake loves to talk. He will speak to whomever will listen or just to himself. I'm amazed at how expressive he is and he will run up to you and talk and point and grab your hand to show you what he wants to show you. It's so sweet!
He says lots of words now. He can say and point to his body parts; head, nose, mouth, eyes, tummy, ears, hands, and toes. He just started to learn to say colors; blue, green, purple red, yellow, orange, pink. And he loves to make animal sounds; cow, horse, pink, duck, sheep, dog, cat, lion, and bear.
Here are some of his other favorite words:
Mama
Dadda
Bro Bro
Juice
Cup
Car
Up
Oh Oh
Yes
No
Boo Boo
Dog
Scamper
Cat
Cheese
He can repeat just about any word you say to him back. He does a really good job at listening to sounds and can repeat the sounds back to you. I'm so proud of him!
Blake loves to play outside and go for walks or rides in his blue car. Loves the playground, swings, slide, climbers, sandbox, water play, coloring, painting and recently has really loved playing with the busy bags. His favorite is a pom pom push game and a pipe cleaner pushing game. He also likes to play with the pasta counting and color sorting game. Anything to scoop and pour and shake he loves it!
He's definitely a climber. I've caught him climbing up the stairs, the couch, and the kitchen table and his play table in the playroom. This takes some getting use to since Liam was never a climber. Blake loves to climb up and down on stairs and sidewalks. It's annoying sometimes because he loves to climb and will try to go where he is not suppose to go. He definitely keeps me on my toes.
He's very determined and will not give up easily. If he drops something and has trouble figuring out something he will stay and work through it until he finishes it and never gets frustrated.
He loves balls and loves to play ball with Scamper. I counted Blake throwing the ball for Scamper 15 times back and forth one day. So sweet! They are such good buddies. Scamper is so patient and sweet with both the boys. I'm so blessed to have such a sweet and loving dog.
I'm amazed by how strong of an arm Blake has. He can throw a good over hand already. He loves to shoot hoops outside and play tee ball and kick a soccer ball. I think he may be the athlete but we'll have to see. He does love to play and watch sports.
Music is his favorite. He loved going to his music class, playing instruments and loves to play the key board we have here at home. He still loves Old McDonald, Itsy Bitsy Spider, and If Your Happy & You Know it. He loves Mickey Mouse since Liam watches Mickey all the time now. Blake also likes Sesame Street and Elmo but he doesn't watch TV much. He will watch a few minutes but then he's off playing with toys.
It's been hard the last few month for poor Blake. He has had so much congestion and an horrible cough that we just didn't know what was going on. The doctor thought maybe allergies. He's been on so much medicine, a nebulizer, and now an inhaler trying to figure out what it could be. We are looking into having him take an allergy test to really find out what it could be. It's sad because his nose is always running, coughing. I'm just hoping we find what it is so he will feel 100%. It's been like this since the entire family got sick on Christmas Day. It just seems like Blake never got over the sickness. It just keeps coming back. Trying to stay positive that we'll find some answers soon. He's such a strong boy and stays happy and smiling through it all.
Blake and Liam's favorite song to dance to now is surprisingly the song "Scream & Shout" by Will.i.am Liam can't get enough of that song and Blake loves to dance along bopping up and down and spinning and marching. It's adorable to watch them both dance around together.
Blake is such a blessing and I am enjoying this time with him and watching his eyes light up when he discovers for the very first time. It brings so much joy to my heart and I get to relive my childhood once again. He brings happiness to me during my sad days which lately have been many. I can't imagine life without hearing his laugh and looking at his beautiful blue eyes and bright smile.
Mommy Love You Boo Boo my sweet sunshine boy!
