26 Weeks- 3/4/15

 

This weekend we worked on Saturday and then hung out for the most part. I was super depressed so Jeremy said we needed to have a day family vacation. I got to pick anywhere that we could go in a day. I picked the east side to a cowboy town. We had a much needed break! We got up when we woke up. Went to breakfast downtown and headed to ghost town. We walked around for a bit and then ate at the saloon. After, we rode the train! :) It was super cold and windy so we started heading home.

 

I guess it's been a pretty busy and boring week. That's all I have to update.

 

6 Months

6 Months- 3/3/15

 

 

Blake is 6 months old!

 

Blake went to his 6 month appointment today. Jeremy was the only one able to go with him. I was so sad I wasn't there. He got three shots and didn't like any of them. The doctor was a student and did something and it made him bleed everywhere. I'm kinda glad I wasn't there because it would have been really hard to see. Blake weighs 16 pounds 9 ounces and 27 inches tall. He hasn't gained or grown since his last appointment. The doctor said that's not normal so we have to feed Blake as much as we can and keep track of it all. I just fed Blake Sweet Potatoes and he LOVED them. I thought he loved Apples but I was wrong, he loves Sweet Potatoes.

25 Weeks- 2/25/15

 

Blake has started to get more mobile. He forgets that he can move quite often. If you let him fuss it out he figures out he can do it. His new favorite toy is his wipes. I think it's because it crinkles and slides easily. He started to crawl on Sunday and he was chasing his wipes. He is starting to smile and laugh more. When you smile at him, most of the time he smiles back. He loves it when I give him kisses on the cheek. He thinks it the funniest thing. He has recently started touching Jeremy an I's face an grabbing at it.

This is how he sleeps most nights

 

Friday after work we went and got Blake and headed to IKEA. We had to return the baskets that we had originally bought for Blake's play room but didn't fit. We got a sweet lamp for the playroom instead. We had dinner at IKEA and then headed to the outlets near a Casino on the east side. I wasn't too impressed. I like our outlets  a lot better. They hardly had any stores that we like. They did have a cool baseball store. We almost bought Blake a baby baseball bat an ball but they didn't have a diamondback one. :(

 

Saturday we went to work. Then, Blake and went shopping. We went to Target and spent the gift card Blake got from Grandma Krass. He picked out some sweet new toys! I also picked out a new outfit! Then we headed to CVS. I have tried to coupon there once a week. I do it totally for fun now but my hobby does save us a lot of money. I don't go for free stuff as much anymore. Most of the things I get we pay something for but we are saving money on things we need. Like diapers, wipes. etc. We haven't bought any wipes since Blake was born because I couponed for them and got them for free before he was born. Anyways Blake decided to have a little tantrum at CVS but I kept going and got everything I planned and we did pretty good. We paid 4 bucks for everything! That's over $50 savings. :)

 

After we went with Jeremy to a furniture store. We found a radio shack that was going out of business and picked up some ink for 30% off and a portable speaker for Primary. At the furniture store we got a new rug for Blake's room an a side table for the playroom.

 

We went to a new pizzeria that just opened up by us for an early dinner. It was pretty yummy! Then, we walked around all the stores. Jeremy got stuff at BestBuy and I couldn't help myself at Old Navy! I have been looking for church shoes for Blake and I found them!! So naturally I had to buy a few outfits to go with them. :)

 

Sunday Blake slept in till 8 which was nice. I didn't but I got to relax. :) We are starting to get the hang of teaching Primary. I plan all the activities the night before and we decided to just invest money into a Primary bag which has all the supplies we need so we don't have to go to the library every week. It makes it a lot less stressful. Blake did really good falling asleep for his nap. He likes to scream when he's happy and I get a lot of looks but I just need to ignore them because I'm not going to yell at a happy baby.

I couldn't decide which one I liked the most. So I will post all of them. They all show a part of his personality!

 

 

After church we went to the park and had a picnic. Blake fell asleep on the way so he didn't get to have fun with us. Jeremy took Chloe over to the dog park while I relaxed with Blake. Surprisingly it was really cold but we still had fun. 

 

Monday after work we took Blake for  walk. He got to be a big boy in his stroller. He really enjoyed the walk. He was looking around everywhere.

24 Weeks- 2/18/15

 

 

Blake is learning to move around better and better each day. But still pretty much rolls around. He is still at the same point as last week. Can sit up for a bit, feeds himself his bottles, and rolls both directions.

 

Friday when I got home from work Jeremy gave me a dozen roses and $100 gift card to PF Changs for date nights. I waited until Saturday to give him his gifts but he got an ipad case, clothes and a red lobster gift card. Blake got 2 books and Chloe got treats. We were all spoiled! We also got a valentines box from grandma! Blake was very spoiled! He can't wait to go to Target to spend his money! :)

 

Saturday we went to work early and got off at noon. We headed home and hung out with Blake for a bit. He took a good nap and then we headed to PF Changs for an early dinner. Then we went home and I was talking about the play room I wish Blake had. So, Jeremy said lets go get stuff to make one. So, we did. We went to Ikea and Costco. We got the cube organizer at Costco and then bins at Ikea. We spent hours at Ikea and in the end we left with bins. Blake was so good though! He just hung out in his stroller and partied late with us.

 

 

Sunday we went to church and that was interesting. We came home and Blake fought his like usual on Sunday's but after a long time he finally went to sleep so Jeremy and I got busy getting his play room together! We made his cube organizer and then I opened all his toys and organized them. We hung up pictures and we were done! Blake woke up and had a play room! We love it so far! Blake and I mostly hang out in there after work and play!

 

 

Yesterday morning Blake and Chloe hung out when I got ready.
