More rehearsal dinner pics…

I just got a call from our photographer and our professional pics are in and I can pick the disc up tomorrow….so we will have LOTS more pics to post soon.

In the meantime I will continue with the rehearsal dinner pics.

Here is Blake at the party....mesmorized by the ceiling fan as usual....wonder when he will outgrow this!?
Blake with his aunt Dani. This is Ryan's little sister...he wasnt to into the photo session

Isnt she cute? She is a senior this year!

Me w/ one of my bff's Tony. Tony was an Usher in our weddindg.

My mom and I....such a good pic of her!

Me adn my sis, MOH, bff...

Wedding pics aside….I am heading back to ww tonight. I have been off the wagon for a couple of weeks, so I NEED to start eating better and getting back into my old routine! Party is over!

Ryan is working nights this week, so I have barely seen him. Makes me realize how lucky we are that we typically have the same schedule. I will be happy to get back to normal next week!

10 months old today!

Today our little Blake is 10 months old. Hard to believe that he can be that old already. This has been the fastest year of my life. My mom always told me that the older you get, the faster time goes and I didn’t believe it…but I do now! I just want to turn back the clocks!

Blake is now….
-Weighing in at a whopping 19.6 pounds (right at the 50th percentile)
-measuring 29.5 inches in length (75th percentile!...tall boy)
-measuring a head circumference of … well I forgot….but doc said that was in the 50th percentile too…so I guess he has a perfect round little melon!
-crawling EVERYWHERE! He is fast…into everything…will be down the hall and into his own room before I can even turn around!
-having no prob. going from hands and knees to sitting position
-eating some real food! He can munch on some crackers and hard bread. He has tried chicken and seemed to like that. Didn’t really care for mashed potatoes or squash…but we will keep trying!
-pulling himself up to kneeling to get into toy boxes, laundry baskets, etc….not quite standing yet, but will be SOON!
-laughing, clapping, giggling a lot
-starting to get shy around strangers….typically loves everyone…but every once in awhile wants mama, dada, or Aunt Mary
-reverted to NOT sleeping through the night….SAD….he is up now at about 4 for a bottle…but back down until 6:30 or so….I guess our luck ran out!
-STILL looking like he will pop a tooth ANY day...but nothing yet!

He is the bestest kid around and we just love him SOO much!

rub-a-dub-dub...having fun in the tub!

LOVES the bath...
Splashes and splashes....

SOOOO fun :)

SO...we have been married for over two weeks now...and I still have TONS to post about the wedding! Today I am posting some pics fro the rehersal dinner.

More pre-wedding festivities

My grandparents came to Mi for the wedding. I was exciting to have them here b/c they rarely make it up to MI anymore. They came in on Thursday before the wedding. We had dinner with them at my parents house.

It was also super exciting because it was the first time that they had met Blake. He is their 1st GREAT grandchild....so it was pretty special :)

Here is Blake and my mom...
My mom, Blake, and Grandpa Bill

Here we are again...

Pre-wedding festivities

The days before the wedding and the day of are all a big blur…so it is fun going through the pictures and remembering things!

The day before the wedding some of my girls (sister, H, and Kan <3 them) and I got our nails done! It was fun to relax with them..we enjoyed some champagne…and some margaritas before we went…SO, but the time we walked out of the salon I was feeling MUCH more relaxed :o)

Cheers!
