Gymboree

For Christmas, Grandma and Grandpa Hoover got Blake 2 months of a Gymboree membership. We go every Wednesday and it is the highlight of the week! It is definitely helping the winter months pass a little quicker. Whenever we ask Blake what he did at Gymboree, he always tells us "Wee, ball, bubbles" because he says wee when he goes down the slide, they always have fun balls, and they end the class by blowing bubbles. Blake's favorite part of the class are the bubbles. Here he is with Ms. Megan blowing bubbles through a tunnel.

More bubbles...what is it about kids and bubbles?

Banging along to the music...look at the excited look on his face!

Getting ready to go down the slide...he calls it a "Wee"

Braving the slide backwards...

Children's Museum

Blake and I went to the Children's Museum with our friends Dede and Brinley this week. Here is Blake enjoying the trains.

Giving Curious George some love...

Blake and Brinley on the carousel... Blake is riding the tiger--he growled the whole time he was riding it.

Just being a boy...

Blake taking Brinley for a ride...

This was his favorite--the sand box.

Hugs

Blake LOVES to give hugs!

Bathroom Renovations

For Christmas this year, Devin and I decided our present was going to be to redo our bathroom. Devin and my dad worked really hard on it and I love how it turned out. They put up the wainscoting and painted it blue.

Devin was so happy with our bathroom that he decided to do the wainscoting in Blake's bathroom too. Blake got all his monkey decorations for Christmas, so the new paint and wainscoting was an added bonus.

And here is Blake enjoying his new bathroom. He got some bathtub paints from Santa--that's why he is so colorful!

Future Football Player

Since the Bears weren't in the Super Bowl this year, Blake got to wear his Colts Jersey that he got from Uncle Scott. He's loving it...

Hanging out at Todd and Megan's with his "hat"...

I just thought this picture was cute. He is holding up his finger and telling me he is 1...he's not picking his nose!
