Happy Valentines Day

Blakes first valentines day was fun...we went out to dinner as a family to the Walnut Brewery in Boulder on Friday night (avoided the crowds :-) ) and then had a nice relaxing weekend together around the house. It was kind of nice to just take it easy. We had some friends over from and watched Fireproof...if you haven't seen it it's worth a watch. It was really good. We'd heard a lot about it, but hadn't had a chance to see it yet.

Then on Sunday Abby went to a baby shower for some friends and the boys went down to the Denver Aquarium. Blake was really intrigued by the fish...I wouldn't have thought he would even be interested, but he thought they were really cool. Check out the little video clip below...

Grammy and Grampy visit

We had a nice visit this weekend with grammy and grampy Bankson. Blake had a really good time and thought it was fun to get all the attention. Kona, on the other hand, felt a little left out...but we made it up to her in treats :-) Blake got to show off all his newly learned tricks...rolling over, smiling, laughing and playing with his toys. He does good job of entertaining himself when we give him his toys and let him play. It's pretty fun to see him figure them out.

Auntie M sent along some new duds for Blake and another pretty awesome hat...she has a way of finding those...check out this cute kid!

We also decided to start giving him some real food...starting with the rice cereal....yumm. He was pretty excited and was definitely interested in the food. We think he has been paying pretty close attention because he seemed to eat it like a champ. He woofed it right down and made a huge mess of himself, but it was fun to see him like it so much.
