Big Boy Potty

Blake went potty a couple of days ago like a big boy. He asked to sit on it...so of course we did just that. Daddy had to "come wif us." He sat down and immediately asked for toilet paper. I told him he had to go potty in the big boy potty before he could have some. So after a few grunts to get something out, he started singing Twinkle Twinkle. And then he did his famous mouth-wide-open expression. HE WAS GOING POTTY! Neither Zack or I said a thing while he was going. As soon as he finished, he threw his arms in the air and said, "I did it!" And then said, "Paper now?!" Of course I rewarded him with toilet paper. How awesome is that...toilet paper as a reward! I love it!

"I Did It"

We pulled out the a few things for Bella to borrow, and Blake just didn't understand the fact that they were not for him! I was on the computer a few days ago, and he just kept saying, "I did it, Amy. I did it, Amy" So I finally checked it out - and here is what he was so proud of. Notice that both legs are in the same leg hole!

Twinkle Twinkle

Blake has been counting and singing his ABC's for a while now. But recently he's been asking to sing "tweenle tweenle" at bedtime. Here he is singing it for Zack and I.

Also, we've had his spare car seat in the house and he loves to sit in it in front of the TV, all buckled up too! :)

Weekend Fun

This was a fun afternoon at the Gudgel's house over the weekend. Blake has been scared of the big pool - so I was anxious to see how he did here. He actually loved it and even went off the diving board twice!

Cody and Zack had a little wrestling match in the pool. Blake didn't like it too well! Boys never grow up, do they?!

All the older boys had fun with this super soaker. Actually, I missed getting a photo of Cody SOAKING Brian in his nice jeans and polo for all the torture over the years. We all thought it was funny - and Brian took it well! :)

Gregory is going to be my future babysitter! He has always adored kids - and Blake loves him. Gregory is a super sweet kid! I can't wait until he gets a little older! :)

I tried so hard to get Blake to look at me - but he was way too busy! He had a blast!

This is John, Claire's oldest. I absolutely loved these goggles. He doesn't swim without them either! It was too cute to pass up on a photo!

Watching all the action - soaking it all in I'm sure!

Corey & Gregory - Gregory even gave Corey a kiss after this photo and Corey didn't mind! :) I was shocked - but that is so awesome too!

We ate at Mt. Hamill last night! It was delicious! Blake ate pretty good to be able to drive this 'car'. Uncle Tim (also confused as "ju ju daddy") spoiled Blake by letting him drive before he ate his dinner. But that's what Uncles are for! :)

By the way - Ju Ju Daddy is what Blake calls Granddaddy!

Watching TV

Zack and Blake are watching their hunting show! I have a feeling I better start liking all this hunting crap because my son is liking it now too! :( Again, Blake in his carseat!
