Happy FOUR Month Birthday Blake!!!

My sweet Blakey-boo,


Four months ... really Blake?
Can I just bottle you up right now and keep you from growing?

It's funny all those nicknames I've started to call you:
Blakey-Boo, Baby Bake, Buddy, Little Man
I sure hope you don't get confused!

You are still your smiley little self - so cheerful and so mellow
... but you are showing signs of being a mama's boy, anxious when Mommy is not around.
Admittedly, it makes me feel loved and wanted but I am glad that you don't seem to be as clingy as your big sister was at your age.

I LOVE your smiles.
You smile at just about everyone
and talk to anyone that will listen
You are such a charmer ... especially with the ladies.
I think we might be in trouble!

As far as Sophie -
She loves you and you adore her.
It warms my heart to see your face when she's around
and to be able to watch your relationship grow.
I can't wait to watch you grow into the best of friends

.... BUT ....
I will still allow you to plank over her,
rub your face in hers,
scream in her face and
slobber her with kisses ...
when the time comes.
I keep warning Sophie that at 4 months, you are
1/2 the weight of your petite sister!
But keep in mind that your sister loves you oh so much!

You are starting to want to roll over ...
you're constantly on your side and trying so hard.
I'm glad that you are firmly holding your head up now.
Doesn't the world look so different when you can hold your head high?

You are an incredible sleeper ...
especially when you are swaddled.
I think that if you could, you would sleep from 8pm until 9am.
When you aren't swaddled, you still do pretty well but I
could really do without the 5am wakeup call! I love my sleep!

The worst part of this month was when Sophie pulled you off the couch ...
and you landed onto our hardwood floor with a loud ...
KER-plunk!
Thankfully you seem to have recovered quickly and seem to be fine.
We've had you checked out by the doctor ... don't worry.
I will never leave you on the couch again, even just for a second.
I promise.

I love you Blake.
Forever and ever.
And then forever more.

You and Sophie are miracles to me ..
and I am so thankful to call you mine.

Yours for always,
Mommy
