34-35 Weeks Old

August 28th-September 4th: 34 Weeks Old

This week Blakely was dedicated at church. It was a super special event and JUST IN TIME!! Since we scheduled the baby dedication, Alyssa and I have been doing the math.... Alyssa would be 39+ weeks pregnant at the baby dedication. Near the end....Blakely and I were not so sure that Auntie was going to make it! HA!!! Thankfully, Blakely was dedicated on the 27th, and Banks was born on the 30th. Oh so close... but Oh so perfect!!

This picture totally cracks me up.... Blakely is completely mesmerized by the new baby, she can't even look at the camera.

Highlights from 34 weeks:
- Baby dedication, Blakely LOVES Jesus
- "mamamamama" and "dadddadadadada"
       -non-specific, when happy now too!!
- First Solid: banana

Highlights from 35 weeks:
- "Dada" to Richard x 2
- Attempting to crawl: Back legs going, not moving hands forward yet
- BLT-phobia: Blakely had a little bit of stranger danger this week, but nothing scared her half as bad as a giant poster of a BLT at Bruegger's Bagels! We laughed so hard, I feared Alyssa would pop Banks right out! HA! HA! HA!
- Loves ice- she loves to suck on big pieces of it, and loves chasing it around the table.
- BANKS IS HERE!!!!
