11 Months Today!

Hi All!  Today I am 11 months young.

11 Months! 5.27.13

11 Months! 5.27.13

I can't believe I'm almost a year old either... although I hear a pretty fun party is in the making!  Plus, it's just a number and I'm okay with 1.  I share my birthday today with my Uncle Jerry.  Uncle Jerry, are you 11 months old too???  (Why is my mommy snickering in the background as I type that last question?)  You must not be.  Regardless, Happy Birthday, Uncle Jerry!

Wrapping up my trip to MN

ommy's 1st and 2nd cousins. And my 3rd cousins! 

I just got back yesterday from a really long car ride trip with my mommy and Grandma Gillund.  We went to Minneota, Minnesota!  (nope, that's not a typo).  It was a 10 hour car ride that I handled like a champ.  Nothing a few movies and snacks can't get you through.  It was so much fun though!  I met a lot of family and friends, including several 1st, 2nd and 3rd cousins!!!  I also had some of my mommy's favorite broasted chicken in Ghent.  Oh yeah, can't forget the stop at Dairy Queen.  It's not a road trip to Minnesota without some Dairy Queen says my mommy.

My tunes and messes resulted in helping daddy put locks on the cabinets...

Always making a mess

Playin' a little tune

Nope, I'm not walking yet, but, I do like to shake my head "no"... and I know what it means.  I still love to dance, and more recently I clap my hands for anything exciting and yell, "yayyyyyyy"  Like when I pulled into my driveway yesterday!  That was reason to celebrate.  Oh, and it only took 11 months but I finally hold my own bottle.

Stopping to smell the roses... or dandelions!

Daddy and I watching the boats.

I LOVE to play catch! You in?

My mommy and I (and my baby bro/sis) on her 1st Mother's Day!

I hope you all had a fun Memorial Day and took a moment to give thanks to those who serve and who have served this country.  We had a pretty relaxing day and just hung out at home.  Our Memorial Day BBQ was a Chili's! ;)
Today marks the unofficial start to summer! But it's cold out!  So here's to a warm up and sunny skies.  Have a fun month of June as I know I will.  See you in a month on a special day!!

Love, Blake xoxo

So sick of always facing backwards... I changed that!

Swinging is one of my fav things.
