4 Months


Blake had his 4 month doctor appointment today. He weighed in at 15 pounds 11 ounces and is 25.5 inches long. The doctor said that he was in the 75 percentile for both but I think it's higher based on multiple nurses comments of "Whoa- that is a big baby!" He did great with his shots.

It snowed today! I walked home in the snow. I remember always loving the first few snows when I was in Utah and that is how I felt today. I know that I'll be singing another tune in a few months but for now it is fun.

Happy Halloween!


Blake was a horse for Halloween but he did get some compliments on what a cute cow he was. Our ward had a trunk or treat party and Eric and I attempted to dress up as cow people (cowboy/girl) to go with our horse.



We didn't have much for our costumes so Eric thought my jean jacket would be a nice addition. Do any of you know this side of Eric? And why does he fit into my clothes?

Winter Clothes





I bought this winter jumper from Children's Place this summer during a big sale- it only cost $1! I thought we'd try it out today on our walk to the library. It isn't snowing yet but the wind makes it so cold. It is kind of big on Blake and he barely fits in his car seat with it on.

Halloween Spirit


I love this picture because you can see Blake's neck. I never see his neck which makes it is so hard to clean in between those rolls.


A pumpkin and a ghost. Too much?

Bumbo




We bought Blake a Bumbo chair last week- we've heard such good things about this baby item. Unfortunately, he doesn't like it and arches his back and cries after we put him in. Looks like we're taking it back.


Blake loves seeing the world. This is how we've been traveling lately. We went to the grocery store like this and he was happy the whole time-just kicking away. (It's starting to get cold here.)


Blake has lost a lot of his hair. He no longer has side burns and now has a receding hair line and a nice comb over. We love our little grandpa.
