Dear Brock....I cannot believe my baby is 5 today. Yes, you are still my baby. I said to someone that I have cried more about your turning 5 than I did when Blakely turned 1. Being 5 makes you such a big boy...no more baby...soon you will be losing your teeth and your voice will start sounding different. I love you to the Moon and Back....I love that you love to be tickled and I love your laugh when I tickle you. You talk with your hands and are very dramatic (where did you get that from???) and you have such an imagination. You still love playing with cars (you have loved cars since you were a baby)...you love Family Game Night and playing outside...you still love all your super hero costumes and sport them around the house (and around town if I let you)...you definitely have an athletic ability (guess you got that from your Daddy)...and I look forward to watching you take your love of football and baseball to new levels...you love going to school and are a good student and friend to others....you get all checks on your listening exercises so I assume you are a good listener at school...sometimes I feel like you tune me out..You can write your name and all your ABC's and are learning to write all your numbers....you are eager to learn to read and use math skills......You still love your BABA....and suck on it to fall asleep...this will always be by your side as long as you still need it...you take it to school everyday that you stay and pull it out for nap time...you are such a tough boy and I love that you have a tender side.....I love how you will look at me at the most random times and say, "Mommy, I love YOU!"...it melts my heart....even though Daddy is a fun buddy....you are still a Mama's boy...I love that when you get hurt and cry...and I kiss your boo-boo...all your tears stop and you run back and do what you were doing...I could go on and on...needless to say, you light up my world...I treasure every moment I have with you because I often think about NOT having you in my life to love. I am so thankful and blessed to be your mommy and I thank God each day for giving me not one but two chances to be your Mommy...I know that you are still here not because you are destined to be or do great things but to just be exactly what God wants you to be...And never forget....I love you to the Moon and Back!
Love, Mommy
Happy 5th Birthday!

Blakely is ONE
Blakely is one...I can not believe it. We celebrated with friends and family on her actual birthday (1-23). Pink and Green polka dot was the theme...and of course...I had to throw in her monogram here and there. She was so happy all day. We asked everyone to NOT bring gifts...this was a day to celebrate the life of our precious little girl...she did get a few things...which she loved. Thanks to everyone for a great day!
Finally walking
Blakely has been taking steps for a few weeks now but I would not say it was actually walking...she would take about 5 steps and then start to crawl...after her party on Saturday she is pretty much walking everywhere...she will still crawl ever now and then but she will get back up and start walking! Oh no....the fun begins!

Blakely is ONE
Dear Blakely,
I cannot believe that one year ago...we were nervous and excited to know the gender of the baby inside my tummy. Not to mention...would God give me enough love to love another baby. Within seconds of the doctor placing you in my arms...my heart lept with joy and I felt my heart grow bigger that instant...It was filled with all the love I have for you and your big brother. This year has been so much fun. You gave us a run for our money for a few months in there..from 2 months to 4 months, you struggled with formula and what your tummy wanted and could handle..after figuring all that out...you have been such a happy baby! Words cannot explain how lucky I am to be your mother. Your smile is contagious...and you light up the room when you walk in. Your little personality has come out so much! Unlike your brother, you do not go straight to someone...you like to really check them out and you will talk and look at them...but leaving with them is another story. You really like being with mama (and that is alright with me)! I thank God each day for blessing me with two beautiful children who are healthy. You and Brock are my world and I love you each so much!
Blakely, I am still tickled PINK that God decided to give you to us. You complete our family in so many ways. I love that you are such a girly girl. Even at one, you love your pocketbook, necklaces, and babydolls. You love trying to put on any one's clothes to dress up. You love to accessorize and you can spot some jewelry on someone within seconds. I love your kisses and smiles and I look forward to many more fun times together...I love you so much and I hope you realize just how much you light up my world!
i love you to the moon and back
