Spring Is Springing!

I love it when spring starts coming! I love being able to go outside and warm up on the sunny porch (yes, I warm up on my rock in the morning like a lizard) Everything is starting to come to life and I can open my windows and breathe fresh air that hasn't been circulating in my house for months. Something about spring coming makes me feel so motivated! I'm coming out of my winter slump! Ok, so we've had like 5 warm days, and the rest are cold with threats of snow (like tomorrow) but those 5 days have been great! Blake LOVES going outside and running around with the dogs & traveling with me down the see the duck & cows & chickens & horses. He really likes to feed the duck bread & when i get the bread out of the draw to make a sandwich for him he's like, "No mommy! Duckies!" The following pictures are Blake on our warm sunny day and his big blue ball. It was really windy and his ball kept blowing away, but he didn't mind; He thought it was fun.

Yes, his tongues out. He must be concentrating!
I can't believe how big he's getting!
I LOVE this picture!
I've been letting Blake do more and more "big boy" things. I don't want to rush him growing up or anything but he needs to do big boy things! He's loving it, too. He is so proud of his big boy bed & he has to show anyone that comes over that may not have seen it yet. He doesn't mind going to bed now in it, but it does take about 30 minutes to get him to STAY in bed. He just keeps climbing out and peeking out the door. If I'm not paying attention he's sneaks out into the living room and hides under a chair :) He's so quiet! Blake got to go on a tractor ride yesterday with out neighbor, Scott. That just made his day!

I have to get started turning out spare room /office/play room into Blake's new bedroom. The new baby is going in Blake's current room since its already a nursery & is significantly smaller than the current toy room. Need to start thinking of ideas! Fun fun!
