Update. . .

So Ive been a bad blogger,just plain lazy at work catching up on my TV shows and not been in the mood to sit on here.So after much encouraging from people(um hum Ashley!)I am updating you on January, so here goes!



We have had a pretty good month, Randy and My birthdays were both this month,and the same weekend we received a surprise visit from a FL friend,so randy and I got a night out for dinner while Blake stayed with Aunt Michelle! We also took Blake sledding with Aunt Michelle and the girls she was nannying for,he had a blast but it was really cold and we didn't stay long. We both got new shoes for our birthdays and Randy's are still sitting in the box cause he doesn't want to get them dirty! He swears hes not pulling them out till spring!



Blake has also began pulling up on things and walking behind his walker toy. He doesn't have any direction when he does this but is just so ready to go its hilarious! I know hes going to be walking so soon and our lives will never be the same! No more teeth yet and we have discovered the "b" sound and everything is "bababababab"! I love him!

New Years Wedding in WV

So the weekend after our trip to FL,we decided to travel 400 miles to WV for Brandon and Kelly's New Years Day wedding. Brandon is a long time friend of Randy's from FL,he was also a groomsman in our wedding so off to WV we went. We were both off on Friday,so we left at about 9am.We got there about 4:30 pm,and the festivities began around 7pm. We met the wedding party at the hotel for the rehearsal dinner, then afterwards we partied in the restaurant lounge with all the FL guests! It was a great way to ring in the new year! Blake was partying with one of the bridesmaids in her hotel room, so that was nice for mommy and daddy. Randy had a little too much fun! But we were up bright and early Saturday morning with little man and we headed out to the WV mall! What an interesting place! The wedding was at 4:30 and it was beautiful, Kelly looked wonderful and was absolutely glowing, I don't know if it was the wedding day bliss, or those two little baby's growing inside,yes I said 2!!
The reception was beautiful as well and I was very glad to have such a well behaved little boy,2 other little ones there had to leave within a half hour of the starting of the reception. We ended Saturday early,about 10:30 and met Brandon,Kelly,and Ava for breakfast at cracker barrel. We had a nice visit and are looking forward to going back!
Overall, West Virginia is a beautiful state very mountainous and this time of year like many northern states is ugly and dead in the winter. We hope to go back in the spring/summer for a baby shower!

WE HAVE A TOOTH!!!!
Finally, I swear this kid has been teething since he was 3 months old! He is a great teether though. He isn't very fussy just drooley and doesn't like to sleep! So we were all sitting in bed and Blake like normal wanted to chew on my finger,so i put it in his mouth and quickly pulled it back out and said ouch! Those new little teeth are so sharp! So now we have the 2 bottom teefers popping through! And just this week the sleep pattern has changed again and I have a completely different child, whom I am ready to give away most nights! I'm hoping these teeth come in faster! Because this mommy is tired and needs some sleep!

Blakes Florida Christmas

We went to FL for a whole week! I so needed a vacation,and Randy did as well! The flights went extremely well,much to my surprise, Blake slept most of the flights which actually made traveling much easier. But let me tell you it is a chore to fly with an infant! I never realized how much "stuff" we needed! We flew into Orlando and got to spend some time with Jill and the kids,and GG(grandma)! It was so nice to spend time with all of them it had been a little while since we had seen all of them. We even got some alone time to finish Christmas shopping and Auntie Jill got some grandma practice time with Blake man. We headed down to Ft.Myers on Sunday evening. It was a drive but we made it and spent the rest of the trip except Christmas eve there. Randy's parents were very excited to get to see Blake,and I think Randy even felt a little jealous! We got to spend time with all our Florida family and friends. Randy got to fish,and eat his catch and it was overall a great trip. Blake was once again ,big surprise I know,spoiled by everyone! He opened a ginormous pile of gifts from the Ribeiro family and Auntie Racheal& Uncle Jason on Christmas eve, and woke up Christmas day at Oma & Opa's to do it all again! We didn't want to come home to the freezing cold and left the sunshine behind! It was overall a great trip and we cant wait to go back!

Blake's #2 First Christmas

So My spoiled little man got #2 First Christmas with Grammy. My mom came to visit us 12/10/10. We had a great time and wore ourselves out with some hardcore shopping! She of course spoiled Blake for Christmas and strangely she spoiled Randy as well. I will admit I felt a twinge of jealousy seeing Randy's pile of presents compared to mine!
Blake loved opening presets again of course. This time he was a little more interested in what was inside. Mom got him,among lots of other things,a little people nativity set, this was my favorite gift and I cant wait till I can use these little people to tell him the Christmas story! He also got a toddler sled which I cant wait to use,daddy got a sled to but not mommy they are trying to keep me off them or something like Id get hurt(if you have any idea of my history, its probably better I stay away from the sleds)! My mom stayed until Tuesday and was very sad to have to leave,as we were sad to see her go!
