So far this weekend has been a lot of fun. We cut out of work early yesterday and headed up to the lake to do a little fishing for Jasen's birthday. Blake fell asleep almost right after we got there (which makes boating/fishing a little easier). He is mobile enough that with the life jacket on he kind of falls all over the place on the boat and gets pretty upset about it, so it can be a little challenging...but still a good time. The fishing experience worked out good for my birthday...caught a whopper...check this out...5 lb walleye. Nice! I hadn't caught a walleye before so i wasn't really sure about what it was, but it was big...that's all the really matters. Actually it was pretty huge...good thing we had a net with us. It was a little tough to manage, the way it had been hooked, and it had teeth which makes the whole process a little tricky...i don't want to get bit by a fish :-) It worked out though...got some pictures, weighed in at 5 lbs and put up a good fight.
When talking to the neighbors about it we found out we should have brought it home so they could have eaten it. They were pretty dissapointed that we turned it loose. We don't really like fish, so we didn't want it...but they did. Next time we know.
We got to go to dinner for my birthday while some friends watched Blake for us. It was fun and nice to have some time just the two of us.
Blake is doing really well...getting bigger fast. He is about to start walking...i give him two weeks. He took a step forward yesterday morning and Abby and I were so excited that we didn't catch him when he fell. Pretty crazy how fast they learn that stuff. Otherwise he is saying dada and mama although we don't think he has really made the connections as to what he is saying just yet. We think he might be understanding some sign language that we are doing with him for food stuff, but he doesn't do any of them to us right now. We're really enjoying him a lot. He keeps us on our toes...he's a fast crawler and there is something about the dog bowls that he just can't resist.
