Mother's Day Surprise

So as I'm typing this, we are watching Monster's Inc. for about the 100th time, and I'm probably pretty accurate on that estimate. Blake latched on to this movie about three weeks ago and ever since then....we've actually gotten things done! I've never been one to plop someone in front of the TV to babysit, but if it means we can fold laundry and do some other things, I will! His attention span is at about 35 minutes....that's just enough time to fold laundry, start dinner and still have time to cuddle up with him and watch a few minutes. [That's about all I can handle]
This last week was Blake's 2nd birthday [of course I was in Florida for work!] Luckily I had a skype date with him...so I saw his smiling little face. I can't believe he's already 2, it really seems like yesterday we were just settling into having a new baby and now that little baby is running, screaming and terrorizing my house! Lucky for him he's pretty darn cute, so we let him get away with more than he should.
So now that he's getting older and growing into his personality he is becoming more and more funny! He repeats about everything you say, and then also imitates all that you do. Which basically means Husker gets yelled at twice these days! Ha. She is slowly getting used to it. We just laugh at all his faces and sounds, it truly is hard to get mad at him when he drops out that pouty lip and bats his lashes at you.
As a huge surprise today when I picked him up from daycare, there was a CD of pictures. We have never gotten your standard milestone pictures, but luckily our daycare provider Rebecca loves taking pictures and has always captured these moments for us. Sometime in the last few weeks she had a "secret photo shoot" with Blake during the day, and these are the pictures I got for a early Mother's Day surprise! Enjoy
