Bubbles and Ponies

Let's see...........where to begin. I know it has been over a week since I last posted and even longer since I have posted pictures of Blaine. We've been keeping busy with all of our normal daily activities. Blaine is eating all kinds of baby food these days. In less than a month he has progressed from stage 1 baby food to stage 3 baby food (the kind with pieces in it). Today he actually starting eating very small pieces of table food, which he very much enjoys. I have yet to find anything he doesn't like. Today he had watermelon for the first time, and he really seemed to like it alot. He is so very close to crawling. He started moving his hands this week, along with his knees. Now he just has to learn how to move them so that they are working for him instead of against him. Right now for each foot of forward progress he makes, he looses about two feet going backwards.
The following pictures are from Friday night's bath time. Todd gives Blaine his bath almost every night, and Blaine LOVES his bath time. I know you all have seen bath pictures, but these were just too cute not to share!


This is "Crabby", Blaine's favorite bath tub toy.

Today Blaine went to his first birthday party. Peyton, a little girl we know from church, was turning 3, and she invited Blaine to her party. This is Blaine before we left to go to the party. His Daddy asked him if he was going to try to pick up chicks at this party. I think that was his way of telling Blaine that he looked cute!This was a 'Fancy-Shmancy' party, complete with pony rides!
Oh YES, Blaine did ride this pony all by himself!
Don't worry Daddy wasn't very far away. Todd and the pony's owner each stood on one side of the pony as Blaine rode around the circle, just like all of the big kids.
Then he decided it would be fun to eat the saddle horn!! Todd had to keep pulling his face away from it, so he didn't get a big mouth full!!
