Blake ~ 17 Months

My little guy is already 17 months! I love this boy. Whenever I'm having a bad day he can always cheer me up! He is so sweet, has started giving kisses (and blowing them too). At the same time, he can throw little temper tantrums. At least they don't last too long. When he gets in trouble he knows. He will get a pouty face and hang his head so no one can see it. He's extremely smart. Follows commands, answers questions......usually by shaking his head yes or no or pointing to something for the answer. He's still not saying a whole lot. He has added a few words to his vocabulary (door, go, gone) When asked how old he is or how big he is he will proudly hold up one crooked little finger. He is a climber! He climbs on everything. Scares me to death. He also falls a lot and seems to easily get goose eggs on his head! He can be a fighter. He knows with two older sisters he has to stick up for himself. He and Avery seem to get into quite a few fights.....physical ones. It's actually kind of funny, but I've got to put a stop to it before someone really gets hurt. He has bitten her a few times and he can tackle her down.......and unfortunately, she does the same to him. But he is strong!

Here he is throwing one of his tantrums

He loves getting into the bin of winter accessories.  You can almost always find him digging through it and picking out a hat to put on.

One day the girls, Blake & Papa were playing hide & seek. Allie hid in the cabinet and  this spot is now one of Blake's new favorite places.

This boy loves to eat! He really likes popcorn and finds GG's stash every time we visit.

He also likes to throw anything! He has a good arm too.

This one is kind of long. More for Derek to watch. It shows Blake organizing all of the shoes. He does put them all back eventually.
