Mommy-Blakey Time

I got to spend today with Blakey. It was a good, full day.

We started it off with pumpkin pancakes (he ate 3!) & Aunt Debbie's video of her koi pond, with the voices of Blake's little cousins in the background. He must've watched it 30 times this morning. Then we headed out for a walk on our nature trail. We didn't see any ducks, but it's astounding how much the grass has grown in just the past week.

 Soon after we got back from our long walk, he took a 2+ hour nap, enabling me to get some work done. After nap, we ate our lunch sitting in the sunshine in the backyard. That was followed by lots & lots of water play. Some water even managed to make it on the plants.

At 3pm, we headed off to spent a couple hours with our good friends, Lucy & Hunter (& their momma, Corre). Blake really enjoyed playing with the twins & everyone had a great time clambering all over the backyard toys, while Corre & I semi-relaxed in the sun.

And then dada came home & unfortunately Blake started falling apart a bit, as he didn't get a second nap. We got through dinner & he had an enjoyable bath before going to bed without a peep. Tonight he called me "mommy" for the first time (instead of "momma").
