My oh my-the days are flying by! Blaise is getting so big and is already seven months! This has been an exciting month filled with lots of activity and several firsts:
- He crawled/scooted all the way across the kitchen floor yesterday. But he did it backwards, since he hasn't yet figured out how to move forward. When Blaise tries to move forward, hee just kicks his legs in the air like crazy!
- Talking and singing are some of his favorite activities-"a dadadadada" is his newest tune.
- He has tried some baby food. He's OK with the brown rice cereal - we give him a few bites then usually have to water it down because he LOVES to drink and hold the glass on his own. He's also tried sweet potatoes - which were not a big hit. Last night's avocado was the most successful so far!
- He pulls up on his co-sleeper or crib when sitting and tries to climb out of his bathtub!
- He now gets upset if he drops a toy or if I take something from him that he wants to suck on!
He loves to smile for the camera-he really was not this excited to eat the mush!
Pulling up on the crib
On a warm winter day, we went to the zoo with Aunt Lynz, Chase and Ellie! Blaise loved the penguins! He was face to face with them & he got really excited. Notice his arms flapping in the picture above like a penguin. The waterfall in the elephant area was also a big hit. 
He also loves....
- When daddy comes home! We wait at the top of the stairs and he flails his limbs frantically with a huge smile! So fun.
- Bouncing in his exersaucer. He'd probably do it all day if we let him, but we try to limit it to 15 minutes.
- Church-the music, stained glass windows, and people. So much to take in!
- When Mimi and Grandma come to visit. What a blessing to have the grandmas come weekly! Grandpa Harold comes every week or so on his lunch break since he works right across the park.
- Tags! Whether on clothes, rugs, washcloths, or a blanket- Blaise finds them and loves to suck on them! I guess that's why some genius invented the "taggie!"
- The light streaming in through the window in the morning-it makes him smile and babble (and buys us a few more minutes of "sleep" too!)
- Other babies and children-they are so entertaining!

I can't say enough how precious, adorable, loveable, squeezeable, darling and beautiful Blaise is! With that being said, it just dawned on me (as I was looking back at some of my own baby pictures) that all of the pics of Blaise with you and David will someday be shown to others many years from, and we'll all laugh at how we dressed back in 2009! How fun and funny that will be. Looking forward to next Wednesday!
