21 Months!

Blakely loves to put her hands in pockets and then walks all around with her hands in the pockets - it's adorable. She does this in her jackets, jeans and sweatshirts! It is so cute, I think she picked it up from her Daddy! She is talking up a storm and repeats everything. She has started to sing ABC but stops after C and if you try and finish it for her she says "Stop Mommy." She also count to 2 or sometimes just skips straight to 2! She knows all the animals and the sounds they make and LOVES animals!!! Blakely also enjoys reading books, she has a new favorite every week. One week it was her Jayhawk book, another her Dr. Brown Can Moo book and this week she loves her couting book!


She is ALL personality. She can be bossy and definitely knows what she wants. She also knows how to work the tears...but usually they don't last too long. She really loves going on walks to the park and going on the slide and asks to go ALL the time! She says hi to everyone - strangers on walks, strangers at the store, friends at school, everyone! She gets so excited when we get to school and starts yelling her teacher and friends names before we even get inside and then she runs to her teacher for a big hug. It is such a blessing that she enjoys her time at daycare.


The girl likes to eat and eat and eat! She especially likes fruit and sweets, her favorite is BANANAS, she would have several a day if we let her. She also really likes spaghetti. She will try anything and is pretty open-minded about what she will eat which I am glad about. She wears mostly 2T-3T clothes right now and seems to be growing taller. She takes a great afternoon nap and sleeps 7-7ish. She has been talking about the potty a lot recently so I think that will be our next adventure along with saying good-bye to the paci!


Blakely loves the Jayhawks, I know that her Daddy is happy about that. She sees KU playing on TV and says "basketball." She also asks to wear her jayhawk shirt and to read her KU book. She is also a HUGE Daddy's girl! She loves her Daddy so much! She will always choose him over me right now but that's okay because when we are home alone together I get lots of hugs and kisses and snuggles saved up. She really likes to watch Elmo or sometimes she will ask for her farm movie. She is such a good little girl and makes friends with everyone she meets. I could not ask for a more beautiful daughter inside and out - she is perfect and we love her so much!

Under the Sea

Blakely and I headed to the "Under the Sea Adventure" exhibit at Crown Center with some friends and had a great time. It got very busy but I think the kids had lots of fun. Then after that we went to Fritz's afterwards where the food is delivered by a train that goes around the restaurant. All the kiddos were so good!

Checking out the sea life.

Taking a nap under the sea. Blakely is obsessed with going night-night right now. She puts the dogs night-night, her dolls and even Neal and I night-night ALL the time! ha.
