Whenever we go outside, Blake gets very excited! Zack started opening the curtains to let him look outside. So now it is a daily thing. Whenever we sit down on the couch, he assumes that's what we're going to do! 
He especially loves to look outside after school because there are so many cars to follow and kids to watch! Whenever one goes by, he gets serious. And then when they're out of sight, he gets excited and just talks away!
So....Zack decided to let him suck on the side of it! He really thought he was something, let me tell ya!
This is after he got to suck on the can. He was so happy!
A little pose for mommy! Do they look alike or what?! 
We're starting to sit better in the boppy! Blake can now sit up for about, oh, one minute now. :) No, he really does a good job sitting up. He just tries to go down to the toys instead of sitting up! He'll figure it out eventually...
A little pose! It's actually him losing his balance. But it looks like a nice little pose, don't you think?!
And back we go! I love it - so funny. His eyes look like they're ready to pop out of his head! haha
Blake is helping Grandpa open his birthday presents. He sure had his eye on the iPod. Sorry, Blake - you're a little too young!
Well, we've been rolling over for quite some time now, but we just started actually lifting our head instead of burying it in the floor! That one arm is just a pain to get out, but we're slowly figuring that out too!
Blake usually tries to wiggle from underneath this jungle thing. He just talks away while playing in there!
But as you can see - we usually end up like this and then mad and frustrated! :)
Granny stopped for a visit - Blake was SO tired. I believe this is at 6:05 p.m. and he literally just crashed sitting straight up!
Good night, little man!
Blake wasn't too crazy about the first bite of cereal. He did great about the third or fourth one. It was also his first time in his high chair, so he was pretty occupied anyway!
As you can see, we had a HUGE mess! It took um...SEVERAL bites before he came close to figuring the spoon out. He pretty much just sucked it off towards the end. But that's okay because he actually ate some that way! haha
Blake was very happy afterwards. We also changed his formula (thanks to Aunt Erin noticing a few things)....so maybe that will help his little belly!
Yesterday we decided to put Blake in the real bathtub since we end up with a HUGE puddle after bath time in his old tub. He absolutely enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun to watch! I'm guessing his little heels may be a little sore after it!
Grandpa stopped over one afternoon, too. Blake enjoyed playing! And he took a long nap after Grandpa left!
Uncle Brandt has finally decided that changing a diaper can't be THAT bad! It was absolutely hilarious having to explain...starting off with first you have to take the pants off, then unbutton his shirt and pull it back....too funny! I couldn't help but laugh a few times. He did a nice job!!!
Zack bought "Blake" some movie's for Christmas just from him. The two movies are Barnyard and Cars. I think Zack enjoyed them himself! LoL As we've said before, Blake will sit and watch tv for very long periods of time. Well, we were watching Barnyard and I first laid him down to change his diaper, and he cried until I sat him back up so he could see the tv. Then we shut it off to leave to go out to breakfast, and he cried again! It was kind of funny!
Blake enjoyed the paper. I would start tearing it off and he would get ahold of it and try to put it in his mouth! Imagine that; right?!
This is one of Blake's toys he received. He does pretty good in it. He wasn't so crazy at first, but he seems to be enjoying it for longer periods of time now. As you can see - he gets his arms stuck between toys and then gets so mad that taking him out is the only option so he'll quit crying. He's going to have a temper, I'm afraid!
Blake and Sterling have matching pj's - so we thought we'd get a picture! Sterling wanted to roll over Blake, but he held still for a few pictures. Think he looks ornery in this one though?! :)
While visiting Grandpa and Grandma Huiskamp, Sterling couldn't play with much - so Blake's shoes looked like fun...I guess! :) Blake started kicking his feet, and Sterling didn't like that too much! They're going to be so much fun when they're both older!
Just kidding! Ashley, my sister, found this hillbilly pacifier at Spencer's over the weekend. Isn't it hilarious!
We decided to see if Blake would like to sit on his "Harley" and he actually laughed out loud while riding it. It was so funny. But of course when we wanted to capture the moment on camera, it's just too hard to keep smiling! :) But you can see that he's enjoying it!
Blake decided he wanted to show off and sit up for everybody to see how big he is!! He cant wait till his cousin Sterling gets here and can play with him. See you guys soon, cant wait!!
this picture if for granny - another little cowboy in the family! :) Think he'll like Gene Autry too?! (hope i spelled that one right!)
We decided to put the tree together at our house, and Brian rode in the back to hold it up. We figured if we showed up with the tree out of the box and put together, we had less of a chance of them saying no....
We didn't have the camera out when we walked in - but their reactions were great! As you can see, they were gung ho within 15 minutes!
They even stopped for a pose! The Griswald's were great sports!
Zack and Brian went shopping all by themselves at Wal-Mart last night! Pretty good job, don't you think?!
Here are the conspirator's! We were all so proud!!!
Blake loves to cuddle up next to us, so we thought we'd give him a blanket and see what he'd do. And of course, he grabbed right on to it and plays with the silky part just like his dad used too! He layed there last night and just stared off and rubbed the silk for almost ten minutes before attempting to fall asleep. It was cute!
We decided to put up our Christmas tree tonight. I don't have the topper on yet because a friend of mine is hopefully going to make it with ribbon. Zack actually helped, and Blake sat and watched us - but he was more interested in kicking his feet and sucking on that fist! :)
Zion was such a big boy the whole trip. We found ourselves very entertained by him. 
This guy was amazing. Sorry the photo is the wrong way - but you can still tell what's going on. It was very neat to watch him do this. Everyone's face was hilarious while watching him.
Blake was so glad to be able to lay and strech when we got back on the train to head home! He was such a good boy!
