And Mommy loves her Blake. Blake's eyes just light up whenever he sees Joy and he's always looking around the room when he hears her voice. It's pretty amazing to watch.
Blake and Brooklynn both got their red, white and blue outfits on for the occasion. We went out and ate some Mexican, made a Coldstone ice cream run, and headed back to our house to watch fireworks from our driveway. Let's just say that people in our subdivision aren't afraid to spend a little of their hard-earned cash on some neighborhood entertainment. Good times!
Now that Blake is doing so well with his head control, we're able to put him into his new bouncy exersaucer. He's into the stage of grabbing everything in sight so he just loves entertaining himself with all the cool new toys.
Well, we made the jump and got Blake started with a non-formula substance last night. We started giving him a little cereal before bed hoping to get him a little more full so he'll sleep through the night. (He still woke up at 4:00am!) He did pretty well considering it was his first "solid" food. Sitting in the monstrous high chair without sliding out the bottom...well, that was a different story.
Blake started rolling over! He rolled from his stomach to back and from his back to stomach. Brooklynn was very excited and rolled with him, and then she tried to "ride Blake!" It was very exciting in more ways than one.
