Well, here I am, writing this blog as a 1 year old. A whole year has passed since I came into this world and what a year it's been! It has been one busy, fun, crazy month, hence me getting this out to you quite late. Sorry about that! I finally gave in to my last round of belly pics... it was late, I wanted my milk, and this was all I gave 'em!

This feels like old news by now, but I'm walking! It happened right after I last wrote to you. I just started to let go of furniture out of the blue and off I went. Walking is fun! I've taken a couple nasty spills but that's all part of the game, right?

| Happy Summer! |
And can I just tell you how much I'm loving summer!?!? The sunshine, the warm air, sprinklers, pools, splash parks, being outside all the time, etc, etc. This is FUN!!

I have to tell you... we met my little brother or sister last week! My new baby is growing right on target! He/she kept putting an arm over its face so we are already playing nice together. A nice little game of peek-a-boo. And no, we still have no idea whether to think pink or blue. Only 18 more weeks to learn of that.
My first birthday party was a hoot! I had an absolute blast with all my family and friends! And my mommy and daddy let me smash my very own cake!!! Usually, I get in trouble for playing with my food so I couldn't believe they let it happen. But, the celebration didn't end there. On my actual birthday, I woke up to more presents from mommy and daddy, a trip to the splash park, more water fun in my backyard with my pool and sprinkler, and another 'lil party with pizza and more cake. Whew! These birthday things are tiring!

Last weekend, my mommy, daddy and I took our first little family get away to Door County, WI. There was a restaurant with goats on the roof!?! My daddy kept saying, "Only in Wisconsin, son." Not only to the goats on a roof, but to many more things. He said one day he'll explain to me the culture of a Packers fan... I can't wait for that. We also happened to stumble across a Vince Gill concert and, of course, leave it to my mommy, get us to MEET him too. If you know my mommy, you know she LOVES her Vince Gill. It was a great weekend. To cap it off we stopped at my girlfriends' house in Green Bay and played some more.

Well, I think that just about wraps things up. I hope you all had an awesome 4th. We took in a few parades and cookouts. I have yet to see a fireworks show... I only heard them from my crib. My daddy's birthday is coming up so I better rest up in case that, too, is a week long event ;) Keep enjoying summer! I know I will!
Love, Blake XOXO
