Family Fridays

What We've Been Up to Lately...


Today is a super busy one for us.  We are getting some things done around the house before our family arrives this evening.  I thought I'd end the week with these two cute things Blake has been saying that are new this week, and two cute stuffed animals that she has grown very fond of.


1. Sometimes when I go to get Blake up from either a night of sleep or her nap time, my hair might happen to still be wet from taking a shower.  Well, she does not like me to have wet hair at all.  In fact, she asks that I go dry it before she gets out of bed.  Why?  No clue.  I think it is cute though.  She'll say "you have to keep your hair dry mommy, okay?"  So I'll give her a book to read to her stuffed animals and I then I get extra time to dry my hair and/or put on make-up.


2.  At night, she used to really cry for maybe 20 -30 seconds in protest of bedtime before just giving up and laying down for bed.  She used to cry much longer, but the 30 second thing was our last phase, and I thought that was good.  Well now, magically, she is fine with bedtime as long as we tell her what we are going to do.  For example, if I'm putting her down and Chad is downstairs, she'll say "you go downstairs mommy and go talk to daddy".  I'll agree to do that, and it's lights out and goodnight.  I'm loving this new stage.  She's been doing the same thing for Chad.  I'm sure it will not last long, but I'll take it!

Meet "Her" and "Him".

They go where we go.  Here is Blake and "Her" getting the mail.

Chad got her these two elephants out of a crane machine at the bowling alley.  They are named "Her" and "Him", and they are Blake's babies.  She takes very good care of these little guys.  Not a lot new this week, but with Blake's personality coming out more and more each day, we are plenty entertained!  Have a great weekend everyone!:)
