Blake turns 2

(A couple of months behind.  His birthday was May 4th.)

Blake's birthday celebration lasted a couple of days.  Matt left early for work on his birthday so we did not have breakfast cinnamon rolls until the next day.  On his birthday we went to Red Robin for dinner and came back to the house for cake and ice cream.  We decided to make a monkey cake and card in honor of his monkey that he drags around along with his two other stuffed buddies Neigh and Ray.  Julia cheered Blake on as he opened his presents.

Some things about Blake...
*he loves his blanket and stuffed friends
*he loves to be a part of the gang and wants to do what his siblings are doing
*he loves his milk and sippy cup
*he likes to help with chores
*he likes to pick up Brayden's socks off the floor and put them on his hands as puppets
*he loves to be outside
*he plays well with Julia
*he sleeps well when he is in his own room
*he gives hugs and kisses when requested
We are starting to understand him better with his growing vocabulary.  He is also becoming more opinionated about what he wants.
