Blake loves to read. He asks for us to read him books so many times throughout the day. Lately starting at 6:30 a.m. We have a routine and he likes to hold three blankets on the couch and snuggle while reading.
He has started to try to sing songs with me. For awhile I would stop and he would fill in the blank. Now he tries to sing full songs mostly being understood only at the last word of a phrase. My favorite is when he attempts to sing the VeggieTales theme song. He is pretty good at it and it makes me laugh every time.
His favorite letter is "o." He finds this letter wherever we go. He shouted "o" when he saw it in the word "thank you" on the shopping cart handle.
He always wants us to throw balls up in the air. He says "go high!"
He can't leave the apartment without toys in hand. He usually grabs a ball in each hand and then asks me to hold one when we get in the hall.
Still like to yell "mine!" with his toys when he sees another kid coming to take something he is playing with. He looks at me and swings his arm like he is asking for permission to hit. I tell him no and ask him what will happen if he hits. He says "time out."
When I ask Blake where something is, whether he knows or not, he points and says "ober der" (over there).
We have a gate up in our kitchen so Blake can't come in. He often comes to the gate with his arms stretched out saying "Hold you Mommy." I love hearing this when he wants to be held. Some things I don't want to be corrected.

He is growing up quickly. I remember sitting at your baby shower when you were pregnant with him and now he is in the nursery. It is so fun to hear how much he is learning and growing.
He is quite advanced for 18 months, Katie. I watched another nearly two year old in our ward on Sunday trying to communicate something to his parents using his sign-language and grunting. This was how Luke was at nearly two, but not Blake. Blake definitely knows how to get his point across. It is impressive.
Luke has finally stopped saying "Hold you, Momma." Now, he says, "I want my mommy!!!" which I have figured out, over several weeks, means "I want my mom to hold me, not just be near me." These boys are completely oblivious to the large obstruction in our middles that keeps them a little further away these days.
Blake is so big now--and he's moved onto nursery! That's also exciting about Eric's upcoming job and the move to Michigan. Who knows when this baby of yours will arrive--I hope it all goes well! I'm thinking of you!
I love the diaper changing! It really blows my mind his ability to communicate. Every since we chatted I realized when I talk to Daphne I never say things simple, so I have started to be more simple. Just in the last few days she's picked up some more words... it's exciting!
Blake is SOOOO CUTE! A good lookin boy! I can't believe he is in nursery already! It's going so fast. Daphne is into books right now too but can't sit long enough for us to get through them. I love these little guys!
Cute! I love hearing about Blakey Blake. Can't wait for pictures of number 2.
