A whole lotta everything...

Wow, I can't believe that it's been almost three weeks since I last posted, well I guess I can believe it because we have been SO busy. This is the third time I've started a post, and this time I'm going to finish it! Since I last wrote we have been on the go. Now with both of us back at work it leaves the weekends jampacked with things to do! A few weeks ago Brian and I used the Quady family Christmas dinner at Kobe as our date night. Blake stayed home with Auntie Barb and had a great time. Dinner was awesome and we saw some great hibachi action. Can you believe that I was the ONLY one at the table that caught my shrimp in my mouth? Well if you ask Brian he's not surprised, you know me and my big mouth, but I digress. Dinner was great, and Blake even got up to say good night to us when we got home. He does so well with babysitters, but I think he knows when we get home...just one little kissg good night.

The next night he was with Grandma and Grandpa Quady as we had date night number two and headed to the Gopher Hockey game against UND. It was a great game, and another fun night. It's only a matter of time before Blake realizes that he is going to have to split his sports betwen the  Huskers and Gophers! Luckily each team has their own dominating sport... :)  So on top of our two date nights we've each been able to get together with friends too. Just a busy month in general.

We are nearing 9 months...will be on Friday. We can't believe how fast it has gone and how lucky we are that he has been a really good kid...so far...ask me again when he's in junior high. Still with only two teeth, he's starting to crawl. Unfortunately he reserves his crawling only for daycare. He's pulling himself up on everything, and talking all the time. He is growing into a great personality, we're just waiting for him to acutally start saying some words.

So I finally got some videos of Blake giggling. It's so funny and he doesn't always do it when people are around. So take a look at this

Also as normal, some pictures...

Until next time...

Wow...January is already here?

I feel like Christmas was just yesterday, it may be because we still have our Christmas tree up...but either way I can't believe that January is here already. This week I finally started back to work, so it was "fun" getting back into a routine. I think Blake was ready for it, he was struggling a little last week to sleep. But now I think we're back on track.

We were able to finally get down to Blue Earth and celebrate Christmas and New Year's at the Vriesens. It was very relaxing and fun to just hang out. Blake was excited to get all the attention, Husker...not so much, but she's a good sport. Blake is really on the move, so it was fun to have a big open area with NO STAIRS around and him to roam free.



Luckily the Cornhusker's won their bowl game. Blake and Brian were cheering them on, as Husker huddled up next to me scared of all of the cheering. It's really quite cute.



Brian and I went to the Timberwolves game last night. I got free tickets from work, it was nice to have a inexpensive date night. I think my parents were excited to come babysit too. Today the Oian's were over to celebrate Christmas. It's been a while since Blake and Macie have seen each other so I'll end the post with some cute pics. They sure are going to have a good time growing up together![gallery link="file"]
