Blessing Outfit

Blake was actually blessed almost 2 months ago. But even though his Grandma found the smallest blessing outfit, Blake was so tiny that it was too big for him. It fits him perfectly now, so I decided to take some pictures. Isn't he so handsome?

Blake might win the "best baby" award out of our children. He is almost always smiling. He keeps himself entertained by chewing his fists and talking to himself. He gets lots and lots of attention from his big brother and sisters. They compete to make him laugh. Sometimes they all get in his face at once and he gets kind of scared. He does love them though. He sleeps through the night sometimes. And sometimes (like last night) he wakes up three times. At least he takes bottles, so James can help me out a little. I don't like for him to have too many bottles. These past two weeks have really shown me the benefits of nursing. Everyone in the family has been sick. Taylie had bronchitis, James had a terrible cold, Brenna had a flu and ear infections in both ears. Ethan got sick for about a day (immune system of steel) and I've been battling a cold for at least 10 days. Blake has been healthy as a horse. All those antibodies must be doing their job! Today I finally feel like everyone is getting over it. Hallelujah!
