Being left alone while Mommy puts Blake to bed

Taking too many naps away from mommy (she'll do one solid nap a day in her crib) 

Little Emberlee is growing up! She sleeps through the night really consistently now and eats 7-8 ounces 4-5 times a day. She is still super smiley and I can get her to giggle pretty consistently with tickles. She is the cutest thing and we love her so much! She loves being talked and sung to and loves the books "That's Not My Reindeer" and "How to Charm a Llama". Emberlee is trying really hard to blow raspberries and it's pretty cute to watch her try.

Emberlee is 2 months old! She drinks about 5- 5.5 ounces of milk, only wakes up once at night and is just a happy happy girl! She's started to recognize her bottles and will smile when she sees them. Emberlee is a tummy time champ and holds her head up really well! On Sunday she rolled over for the first time! She was on a couch so it helped her a bit, but I'm still counting it. She was blessed by her dad on the 1st of this month and got to wear the same dress that my sister's and I all wore when we were blessed. We love you sweet girl!! ❤️

Emberlee is now 1 month old! It has gone by so fast. She is the sweetest thing and she only cries when she's hungry and tired. She has the sweetest smiles and actually smiles quite often for such a tiny baby! Blake still isn't too sure about her, but he helps me by throwing away her dirty diapers. The first couple weeks Emberlee had this banshee scream when she was hungry and it would scare Blake, but now that she doesn't do that anymore, he's much more comfortable with her. Emberlee is a big eater and already eats up to 4 ounces of milk! 

We are so glad Emberlee is a part of our family, and we can't wait to see more and more of her personality!

Blake turned 1 year old last month!! I can't believe my little baby is a whole year old now. He's still the happy little guy he's been the whole year, especially now that all his molars have come in and we've gotten a little break from teething 👐.

Ah my little Blakey ❤️ We love him so much! He's so cute and smiley. His new favorite thing to do is to point and say 'huh!" in his cute little voice to show us what he wants. He's still not saying too many words and definitely not consistently, but I've probably heard him say 5 different words. He loooooves going outside so it's really hard now that it's gotten so much colder and rainier. Blake had a total of 9 teeth on his birthday, but now has 12. Blake loves music whether it's my whistling, singing, or actually listening to the radio. He will dance and dance ❤️ 

Happy birthday Blake Elliott!

Mr. Blake got his 8th tooth this month! It doesn't seem like there are any others on their way, but he does not like me to look in his mouth so it's hard to tell. Blake had his first fever this month as well, and it was so sad! He was so tired and grumpy and just wanted to be held by me ❤️ I'm pretty sure he had roseola, because after his fever he got a rash, with no other symptoms. He also got his first real haircut, with a buzzer and everything! His hair was so long around his ears and neck, so I buzzed it around his ears but left it long on top. Blake is 100% a walker now. He hardly ever crawls, and is starting to try and run. He dances more to music than he used too and will dance when he's eating yummy food too 🤣 Blake has a big personality, and we love him so much ❤️
