Crawling and first teeth!

The next time I post I'm sure it will be to say that Blake has learned to crawl. Right now he's just moving his hands and then pulling his lower body along. Between that, rolling around, and scooting on his back he has no problem getting to where he needs to be...and unfortunately for Cooper, that sometimes means straight to the tail, or ear, or just grabbing a fistful of skin. Sweet Cooper is so tolerant and just lays there. Blake has definitely discovered Cooper and thinks he's hilarious! He'll just look at Cooper and start giggling so we'll hold Blake and "chase" Cooper and Blake just lets out the biggest belly laughs. Again, Cooper is so tolerant of all of this...even when we hold Blake and let him ride Cooper. :)

Blake is doing a really good job of sitting up by himself but can't do it for very long and still falls backwards or to the side. We're right there to catch him of course but it won't be long before he won't need us there. Awe, that's kind of sad to think about but at the same time it will be a nice milestone to achieve.



Blake has started saying "da da" and though he obviously doesn't associate it with Randy yet, it's still cute. We're working on "ma ma" but no luck yet. :)

And...Blake got his first 2 teeth! The excessive drooling was our first clue and then waking up screaming all night long gave us a pretty good idea too. Then sure enough, one morning we looked and two of them had popped through. Here's his new smile..you might have to click on it to blow it up and see his new teeth:
