Blake's Big Buck

A Thanksgiving Feast

Ayden had a Thanksgiving program and feast tonight at Mrs. Shelley's Rainbow Dreams Preschool.  They sang songs like Gray Squirrel, Shake Your Bushy Tail and Hello Mr. Turkey, How Are You.  He did a great job.  They were all so cute! 

Each child brought their favorite food for the feast. 

Ayden chose chocolate chip cookies.

Ayden's feast consisted of chicken fingers, pizza, a ham and cheese sandwich, and a chocolate chip cookie (or maybe 2!).

Ayden was so proud of his cookies. 

He was encouraging everyone to eat the cookies that he made.



Sutton At Play

  Sutton at play...

One of his favorite things to play with is the play kitchen.  He loves to open and close the doors, bang the pans around, and even "taste" the play food.  His favorite is the pickle.  He will crawl around with that little plastic pickle hanging out of his mouth.

Look at this face!

Funny!!  I guess even a plastic pickle is sour! 

 

That one little tooth that he has is really shining now.

It is still all alone.  I was discussing this with another parent the other day.  We have come to the conclusion that you either get teeth or hair.  You can't have both.  Ha!  Ha!  He sure does have great hair, and it is a bit wavy.  He is my first little curly hair boy!

Love, love, love him!!

One Year Checkup

Sutton went for his one year checkup this week with Dr. Miller.  He now weighs 22 pounds 8 ounces and is 29 1/2 inches long.  He sure has grown from that little 8 pound 8.6 ounce and 20 inch long baby boy. 

He is now crawling very fast and cruising around the furniture.  He does not have any desire to really walk yet.  That is okay with me.  Since he is the last baby, I am not in any hurry for him to grow up.

He is now down to only a bottle at night.  He is drinking whole milk from a cup.  He much prefers table food to any of the baby food.  He loves ice cream, yogurt, and chicken and rice.  These are his current favorites.

He says momma, daddy, bubba, uh-oh, and uh uh.  He clicks his tongue.  I am afraid he may be a climber.  He tries to climb already.  I have found him several times up on things. 

He loves his bubbas!  Ayden is the entertainment.  Cordell is the caretaker.  Blake is just fun.  They are great with their little brother!

Smash Cake - Take Two

Since Sutton was not overly excited with his cake at his birthday party, we saved it for the next day.  So here it is...Take Two on the Smash Cake!!

Sutton woke up very happy and well rested.  He loves his new toys!

It was not a great time for pictures.  The sun was way too bright, but I sometimes have to step back and remember that we can't do everything for the perfect picture.  We just let him enjoy his cake!!

 

First Birthday Cake

The Smash Cake!

Okay, I am done.  I'm out of here!

Do we really have to do this?

Okay, I will humor you.

 But enough is enough.  I'm done with this!

 17 years for Thomas and 1 year for Sutton

Blake, letting him sneak some icing...

Brothers!!

The Presents!

Getting Ready For A Birthday Party!

Sutton was interested in all the new little things around for the big birthday party.  He had to crawl under the high chair to check out the ribbon from the balloons.

And then he was off again...

Such a happy baby and those big blue eyes.  I just love it!!!

Birthday Photo Shoot

I got Sutton a little cake from the store the other day, just so I could take some 1st birthday pictures.  He never really dove into the cake, but he seemed to enjoy it!

That was fun!!!!!
