Blake at 11 months old

Our baby is eleven months old now. He has been so much fun lately. He continues to grow into his own person, and it is amazing to watch.

He is freakishly strong, and showing a strong desire to climb... a truly dangerous combination! So we spend a lot of our time trying to make sure our little explorer doesn't get his first head injury before his first birthday.

Over the last month, Blake has:

• learned to walk around the entire family room while holding on to furniture, even making to leap from coffee table to couch.
• learned to say Mama and Dada to the correct person.
• developed a friendship with Bailey (based primarily on feeding her his food).
• continued to enjoy swim lessons.
• learned to stand unsupported. 

Zoomar's Petting Zoo

I heard about this place from a friend... a petting zoo where the kids are allowed to play and feed the animals(like inside the animal pens). So, I thought it would be fun to check out. Blake is probably still a little young to appreciate it, but he seemed to be interested in the guinea pigs.

I'm not too sure about this...

poking the animals

and finally, learning to pet the animals

So excited!!!
