45 Weeks Old

November 13th: Chop-Chop

This week was jam packed with lots of firsts!! First bike ride, first haircut, first slide....and Blakely had the best time!!

For Christmas this year, GrandAnnie and GrandPop gave us BIKES as early Christmas presents!! This week we finally got the baby seat put on, and so we were able to take Blakely for her first bike ride. At first she hated her helmet, but after we got rolling she was having the best time!! She loves to feel the wind in her face. We love our new bikes, and we are looking forward to many adventures together in the future!! Thank you GrandAnnie and GrandPop!! We love them!

 

Highlights from the Week:

- Fully recovered from her ear infection... Wildcat, back in action!

- Walking with Auntie and GiGi

- Sitting in Mommy's lap for books... FAVORITE book right now: "I Love You, Through and Through."

- First Haircut!!! Looking MUCH more fashionable.

- First Bike Ride

- Loves to slide! Slides down and quickly crawls back for more! First real interactive play...so fun!

Before: Daddy and Blakely looking kind of WOOLLY!!

Love those long locks and rat tail!! I will miss your sweet, "crazy" baby hair!!

 

First haircut: Blakely was such a good girl the entire haircut. She sat very still and smiled the whole time.

The whole thing was very quick... only about 10 minutes.

 

Blakely can actually SEE now!! Before, her hair would fall in her face while she played. Sorry for keeping you in the dark, Baby Girl!!

 

MUCH BETTER!! Looking stylish!!

The remains of her sweet, little baby curls

 



Blakely's FAVORITE book is "I Love You Through and Through." She could read it over...and over...and over.... and over, again!! It is the only book that she will sit still and listen to the whole way through. She loves the pictures. I have even caught her trying to read it by herself. She can't quite turn the pages one at a time, but she talks to herself while she looks at it!! It is so precious! It's hard to believe that someday she WILL be able to read it to herself.
