Blake Alan ~ May 27, 2004 ~ 8 lbs 13 oz
In the beginning you were a HUGE surprise! Your dad couldn't look at me without laughing for the first 24 hrs after finding out you were on your way. After the shock wore off, we were so excited. Everything in our lives became all about you. You taught us sooo much about life, priorities, and family. We became a little family with that surprise and our lives were instantly brightened.
When you were little you were so happy and curious. Everyone adored you. You had these big blue eyes and big kissable lips. Such a heart melter. You have grown into such a sweet boy. I love your kind heart and the way you still love to cuddle on the couch with me.
Sports, sports, and more sports! That is what you are all about! You love anything that can be turned into a game. So competitive! You are a natural athlete. Running is your favorite part. Determined to be the fastest there ever was. You are playing football right now but soccer is your favorite. You are also a yellow belt in Karate. The exam is coming up for the orange belt. I love that you are so active. The only bad part of that is that you eat more than I do already!!!
You are the BEST big brother. From the minute Hunter was born you were gentle and protective of him. The two of you fight all the time now but you are lost without each other when one is gone. Both you and Hunter and wonderful with Parker. You love to play with him and get excited when he does something new. I LOVE to watch you interact with him.
You love pizza. Some of your other favorites are taco soup, lasagna and spaghetti. Blue is not only your favorite color but it looks awesome on you too. You really like race cars, dinosaurs, Lego's and anything sports related.
What is going on in your life right now? Living in Hawaii is great for you. You have started snorkeling, boogie boarding and love the year round outside weather. I home schooled you this last semester but you are going back to public schools for 2nd grade. You are really excited about this. You will be going to Iroquois Point Elementary. If you could stay outside all day, you probably would. Our neighborhood is great for Hunter and you. You are able to go outside together and can go to the stop sign and back to the end of the street. There are so many kids on the street so you have lots of friends.
Still amaze me by how tall you are getting! You already come up to just below my collar bone! Yikes!!! At your checkup you weighed 61 pounds. Wearing medium shirts, size 7-8 shorts, and size 2 shoe. You just lost your 4th tooth last night. All on bottom. Sadly they are coming in crooked. Hopefully they will straighten out but most likely you will end up having braces. :( Just like your Daddy.
To close I just want you to know how much your Dad and I love you. We are so proud of the little man you are growing to be. I have no doubts that you will grow to be an amazing man. You have that drive to be the best. I love that. Reach for your dreams and never quit because things get tough. I love you Blake Alan! Happy 7th Birthday. :)
