Merry Christmas!

I got photoshop for Christmas and this was my first attempt at creating something. I still don't understand a lot about the program, but I'm slowly learning. I made this for Chris to give to his Doctors for Christmas. It was a last minute thing so we didn't send them out to everyone, hopefully next year we'll have it together so we can send them to everyone.

It's been a week since I've blogged, so thought I would tell you whats been going on in the Mower household. Chris has been a great husband and father this past week. He took Blake for me all day last Saturday so that I could shop and get my hair done. It was sure nice to not have to drag Blake around with me! Sunday I was sick in bed all day, so again he took care of Blake all day. Tuesday, work was slow for Chris with Blake, so he stayed home in the morning and so I could go get a pedicure with my sisters. Christmas came early for me this year!

Blake has loved all the time with his Dad too. Since Blake had a weekend full of playing all day, He has wanted me to play with him all day nonstop. And boy does he have energy! I think this picture was from Tuesday night when Chris was playing with him. Chris pulled Blake's shirt up over his head, and Blake thought it was hilarious. He was running around the house like this for quite a while. I don't think I've laughed that hard in a long time! Blake would run around and then come up to me and lick my face! I don't know where he learned that! I was laughing so hard I was crying! I wish I would've gotten more pictures but with me laughing so hard and Blake running around like a crazy man...this is the best I could get. Blake sure loves playing around with his Dad and I love watching it even more!

Snowy Days

We thought Blake would love the snow, but we were wrong. If you zoom in on all these photos Blake has a frown on his face. Chris did everything to get Blake to enjoy it, but nothing seemed to work.

Blake finally smiled for the camera....and what a cute picture!

We didn't have any snow pants for Blake so we improvised with Chris's socks. They actually worked really well and kept him warm.

It's a Boy!

Another boy for us, and we couldn't be happier! I even got Blake to say brother last night. He's clueless though, for all he knows brother means stomach. Here are some pictures from the ultrasound. This little boy didn't want us to get a profile picture of him, so it's not very good. He kept facing us straight on and just looked like an alien. So, this is the best profile picture. The next 2 show that he's 100% boy! Just like Blake, there was no question that he was a boy! I am more anxious than ever now for him to come. Does anyone have any name suggestions?

Thirsty?

Blake made us laugh so hard tonight! He loves attention and has learned how to get it! Blake has always loved the water. He always seems to find our water cups and usually dumps it all over and plays in it. Tonight I guess he was thirsty....

Blake climbed up on the arm of the couch and kept dipping his hand in the water and then sucking it off. We tried to help him drink from the cup, but he insisted on dipping his hand.
