Too Busy to Blog

Right after Blake was born, I was busy. Busy learning how to help a baby fall asleep, busy learning how much to feed him, busy doing all kinds of laundry, busy squeezing in visitors, busy learning how to be a Mom. As it turns out, I didn't know what busy was.

Blake is now 1, and the older he gets, the busier I stay. You parents out there know what I mean. Blake never used to open every cabinet and pull out all his clothes or my dishes. Blake didn't used to wander into the backyard when I looked away for 30 seconds, and Blake certainly never climbed up on coffee tables before.

So, once again I'll try to catch you up with pictures. Pictures, which only begin to capture our summer activities. Playing with Blake is definitely a full-time busy-ness.


Blake is no longer just a social climber. He's a furniture climber, also.

This was our friend Kirk's attempt at entertaining Blake, which worked for about 15 minutes. Papa would be proud.


By the way, Blake faces forward now in the carseat!

Blake will probably be embarassed one day that I posted this pic. But sometimes he's just so flippin' cute in the bath.

This is Blake on the 4th of July. Thanks to his Auntie Paula for taking such a great pic.

Blake had fun in the Macy's mirrors. He gave the "other little boy" a lot of fist bumps.


This was Blake's first time on my parents' speed boat. Uneasy at first, but then he liked it!

What's up dude?

Still to come.... camping! Look for another blog next time I'm not too busy.

Life's A Beach

Tahoe is one of mine and Ryan's favorites places. You can ski, hike, gamble, go to the beach, eat well, and most importantly, relax. What a perfect setting to take Blake to his first wedding. Blake got a new Aunt, and we're so excited Heather is an official Becker!



By the way, how cute is Blake? Not only was this his first wedding, but this was his first time wearing a tie.



Earlier in the day, we cruised down to the water. As usual, Blake didn't like the cold or the waves (it was windy). But we did enjoy putting our toes in the warm Tahoe sand.


Warm weather, smooth sand, and Blake's baby boy feet... all enough to make any Mom smile.
