Happy Birthday Mr. Blake

Blake is ONE!  I just can't understand just how quickly this past year has gone by.  It truly seemed like just yesterday that we were going the the hospital to deliver the little man.  He is ONE - WOW!  We had a Hungry Caterpillar themed party and a ball was had by all!

I was looking on "Pinterest" and found this cute idea for the balloons, and then I added a little bit of my own flair.  I purchased 12 balloons and attached a picture of Blake at each month.  It was really neat to see just how he had changed over the course of one year.

We have Auntie Courtney to thank for the beautiful and delicious cake!

Opening gifts with a little help!

Yummy!  Blake definitely has a sweet tooth!

At age one, Blake LOVES lots of things.  Here is his top ten (in no particular order):

1. His Big Brother, Kyler

2. Oreo cookies

3. Mommy

4. Daddy

5. Mema

6. Dancing

7. Being tickled

8. His Blankie

9. Wresting with his brother

10. Bathtime

At Blake's one-year well-baby check-up he was in tip-top shape.  He is following along is growth curve quite nicely.  He measured 30.5 inches tall putting him into the 71st percentile for height.  He is a whopping 21.5 lbs. which puts him into the 30th percentile amongst his peers.  Not quite as big as Kyler, but like I have mentioned before, they are vastly different in many ways!  We are thankful for Blake James Urich!
