Walking

We have a walking boy in our house! He has a toy with wheels on it that he pushes to go back and forth between mom and dad. He looks at us like he can not quite figure out how he got there. It is so funny! He seems so puzzled by it all. Since he will be 9 months in 11 days, we are rather amazed by this turn of events. Life will never be the same, and we are loving it!

Blaze is also in a sweet phase where he does not scream at us to come get him first thing in the morning. In fact, he was late getting medicines on Saturday, because he let Mom sleep in a bit longer. It was so nice.

We went to Big Lots and bought him a big boy car seat! We are thrilled at how much he is growing and gaining. He is wearing some 12 month outfits now, which just shocks me every time! He was in 3-6 month clothes until the surgery in February! How amazing!!!

Blaze also ate out a couple of times this weekend. That was new for us. We ate with my brother, John, on Saturday. He was accepted into Grad School this past week, so we are very excited about that! Then we ate with Melissa after church on Sunday. It's nice to be able to take him out, but I am very aware of how messy he can be and I keep cleaning up everything.

We left Blaze in the nursery on Sunday morning. I was a nervous wreck, but Blaze did just fine. I must have checked the pager at least 10 times. How funny! I don't know if he interacted with any of the other kids or if he just played with the grown-ups, but it was a good experience.

Blaze was cranky the rest of the day on Sunday. I think he was getting in his last baby tooth...one of the front ones! He still looks a tad like a jack o' lantern, but he is getting closer to having a full mouth of teeth!

Looking forward to Easter!
