| 8 Month Old! SOOO BIIIG |
So clearly, my mommy didn't listen because as you can see here are pictures of me... sticker on my belly... Elmer by my side... And she wonders why I don't listen to her "No Blake's" all the time. You're only as good as your leader, right mommy? ;) It's okay though. It's fun to see mommy and daddy work up a sweat to get me to look at the camera and smile. Jokes on them, really!

| Please just take me inside... |
 |
| Does it look like I'm having fun? |
Well, I experienced my first outing in the snow, and let me tell ya, overrated! After 20 minutes of getting me all bundled up I was SO done with my sled ride after about 30 seconds. Wheeeee!!! NOT. That is supposed to be fun? I was stuffed like a sausage, couldn't sit up from all the bulk, cold wind in my face, no thanks. Where's the beach? It didn't help that I toppled over face first into the snow... Yeah, inside please.

| I'll enjoy the snow from in here :) |
My new favorite thing to do is "SOO BIIIG!!" You just have to say my name and I throw my hands up in the air. I also like "Patty Cake" but my mommy thinks I'm confused because I just throw my hands in the air for that too. I will stand corrected here... Patty Cake ends in the "so big" movement so technically I'm not wrong. Thank You. (How many of you just said the Patty Cake rhyme in your head to confirm that???) Daddy is still working on "bye bye" with me and the newest thing we've started is "say your prayers." We pray before dinner and I'm slowly learning to put my hands together. Oh! I almost forgot to mention... I say DADA alllll the time. Don't tell my mommy I put that in here. I think she's a little jealous.

For Lent I gave up baby food. After all, that stuff's for babies. I want what you're eating - tacos, pot roast, egg bake, grilled cheese, pancakes, sweet and sour chicken, ice cream, birthday cake, etc. I love it all. My mommy made most of my baby food and I only got through about half of it. I haven't caught onto her game yet but she'll distract me with "adult" food on my tray and while I'm trying to pick it up she'll shove that spoon in my mouth! It's ok though, I don't want to waste it.

| Happy Valentine's Day! |
The goofy groundhog supposedly brought us good news but you would never know if you looked outside. We got about 8" yesterday and it's still falling today. I'm sure I'll love playing in the white stuff one day... I think I'm going to have to - I hear skiing and snowmobiling are fun!
 |
| Can I have this bottle? |
Will I be walking the next time I write??? We'll see! I'm getting closer every day! Enjoy the snow if you go play in it! I'll enjoy it from the comfort of my toy room. Happy St. Patty's Day! See y'all in March :)
Love,
Blake
