Blakey Blue Eyes

Im behind and im sure its just going to get worse. But I love looking back on these kids and remember what they were like as infants, toddlers and such so I will continue to attempt to keep up best as I can.

4 Month Old

Our Blake Blue Eyes or Blakey Shaky or as of lately Brooklyn calls him Big man is a complete joy. He is so content. He patiently puts up with constant touching poking and pulling from his siblings.
He isn't as in love with his binki, but still takes it much better than the other 3. He needs it at night when we are trying to put him to sleep.
He is still sleeping in our room. I have fears of him and Parley sharing. One or the other will wake the other up. Besides soon the big 2 will move downstairs to their new room (hopefully in a month) and then the two little boys can have their own rooms!! YEA!
He is spoiled rotten and loves his mommy. Im a sucker for him too. I let him sleep and nurse during the night, which I know without a doubt is why he isn't sleeping through the night anymore. He was before Christmas, then I got tired and sick of getting up with him so I put him in bed with me and nurse him while I sleep on. Neither of us get great sleep, and now he loves to be snuggled up close at night. Bad habit I started that needs to stop soon.
He is generally a happy guy, but when he gets mad lately oh my goodness watch out. He screams and screams and screams till I A) nurse him B)snuggle him up in his big blanket snug as a bug with a binky and he will eventually give in.
He is humongous. Really. HUGE. He is in 6-9 month clothes, but also fits 12 month clothes too. I just pulled 12 month clothes out of Parleys dresser to put into Blakes. Bad part is Parely still fits in 12 month jeans and Blake isn't far behind. Parley better hurry up and grow or he will be sharing clothes with his little brother soon. I fear summer will come and both will be in 18 month clothes together. (better on the laundry piles though)
I havnt started rice cereal yet...he is big enough on my milk....but I also have to nurse him so much to keep up with his needs that im going to be soon enough giving him cereal.
He can roll with assistance from his back to his belly. He gets far on his side and just needs help to finish it...usuially he is turing to find the TV and then stops cause he can see it. Seriuos. He has rolled from his belly to back a couple times but I think it was an accident, not intentional. He is so big its a lot of mass to move around. :)
He likes to swing, he likes his jumper, he is uncomfortable in the bumbo cause he is so big. He loves the bouncer chair though.
He wants to sit up so badly. He pulls those abs in tight when I try and lay him down if he wants to stay sitting. I sat him up and he lasted a couple seconds all by himself. He got too excited and flopped himself forward.
He giggles. He smiles. for anyone.
He loves playing patty cake and ram sam sam. He loves momma little baby loves shortenbread.
Pretty much just likes to clap and sing with mom.
He is a traveling champion like his 3 older siblings. Just sleeps the whole time. He is almost grown out of his carseat.
He likes his bathtime, but not with his all siblings. They get a little loud and crazy for him. When its just him and Brookie or him an Kyler he lets them hold him and he is all relaxed and loves it. Good bonding time with them. Parley on the other hand never will bathe with him again...he dumps water all over his head.
THis kid is a future couch potato. He is constantly trying to turn himself to watch tv or Ipads. Strange critter.
Parley and Blake must have been special buddys in heaven. Parley is so active hyper and crazy, but Blake stares at him and smiles at him and lets him hold him all the time. He holds his hands when every Parley holds him. I can just tell its a different bond than with the older two kids. Whom he loves and he lets them take care of him. In fact he let her totally undress him, and put on a new diaper and clothes today. That's a patient 4 month old to put up with that much of a 3 year old!
I love this guy to death. He is my perfect surprise baby. Content. Happy. chubby wonderful to snuggle. I cover his droopy fat cheeks all day long in kisses. Love you Blakey Blue Eyes!

During...Blakey you slept the whole time. Your so chill!

After a nice nap and hair cut... handsome as can be

Blakey had RSV see that furrowed brow even in his sleep. Poor guy.

These two. They melt me. Parley takes such great care of his little bro.

Zonked out in the middle of Chritsmas morning maddness

First time in the jumper. He loved it.

Blake and Brock... 2 days apart and many sizes different. :)

Parley Jake is 18 Months

The two on the left:its annoying when mom wants to take pictures. He had such attitude this time when i took pictures. It was entertaining.

My little curly top boy turned 18 months. We enjoy this happy little critter. He is a complete joy to have around. Putting all his health concerns aside. You could never find such a funny happy little dude.
He loves to tease. He gets the most adorable wrinkled nose when he thinks he is funny. Its the cutest.
He loves to love. He is the best kisser and snuggler out there. He loves to hold his little brother and loves to be snuggled by his big brother.
He wants to do everything his older siblings do.
He is finally growing, we think :) He did up up on the growth charts this time, instead of down, so thats a positive we will take.
 He throws the best temper tantrums of all the kids. He will hit and punch furniture scream at the top of his lungs and run around till he falls and then roll around. Its horrible and hilarious at the same time.
He still doesn't talk too much. His vocabulary consists still of mom, dad, Ky, Sadie, Nana (which is a sippy and his blanket and a banana) "wassat" whats that, NO, Mine, and that about does it. The rest is communicated with a high shrill scream that I could probably do without. I pray he catches up with his language development now he can hear better. I pray. Everyday. 
He is a horrible eater. Thanks to a constant sore throut for months and month until he got his tonsils out and then a sore throut from that. He chews up his food, sucks off the juices, and then spits it out. Its disgusting and frustrating. Some days he does better than others. He gets most of his calories from Pediasure and whole milk. He favorite food is fried eggs, yogurt, apple sauce, and any fruit. He like crackers too.
We still spoil him rotten and rock him to bed most nights. Ok most nights he is still pretty awake when he goes down, but i never just set him in bed and let him put himself to bed like i did the older two. He gets his rockin time wheather by mommy or daddy (nap or bedtime) it happens 2 times a day.
He ADORES his daddy. Love his Great Grandpa Burton, whom he bonded with while he stayed with Grandma Nancy when Blake was born. Now if he hears his voice on facetime calls to Grandma he comes a running to see his Great Grandpa. Its heart warming. He loves his Papa Childs lately too. I think he loves men in general.
His dark eyes, curley hair, adorable face have many wrapped around his little finger.
We adore this kid. He is our Boo, Pars, Parley Jake, and ParJay. We'd be lost and bored without his sparkling personality!!

 The sweetest ever. Parley wanted to hold Blake I went to had him to him and he layed down so i put Blakey next to him. He reached over and grabbed his hand and they both layed still for 5 minutes this way. Precious. I often think they were buddies in heaven and Blakey couldn't wait any longer to be with his brother, so he took matters into his own hands and got himself down to earth the be with his brother.

 Parley and Parley having a jolly good time in a big ol box

 Dead out cold with his mouth open and all.

 The other day he pulled out the chair gathered his cup and a book and sat himself down for a good book and snack. It was adorable.

This is where and how he hangs out while i do my makeup and hair.

Blakey is TWO months

Its November! Holy Smokes! Where has this year gone. Where did the last 2 months go? Our sweet Blakey is 2 whole months old today. 2. wow that was fast.

Our sweetest boy is truly a blessing. He has blessed our family with so much love. The kids, all 3 of them, adore this new baby brother. True child-like love. He is smothered in kissed and squeezed tightly 100 times a day. I cant say that one kid loves him more than the other. Brooklyn asks all day to hold him. She kisses his cheeks and has begged to hold him standing up with no help until i caved. She is strong and holds tightly. :) Kyler is a true helper big brother. He also enjoys a good cuddle with Blakey, but is more of my helper with Parley and the house so i can care for his baby brother. Parley, he gives his adorable "head loves" where he leans his head into Blake. He does this all. day. long. He slobbery kisses his cheeks and head. He even beggs to hold him. Today, it was the most precious moment Ive seen in a long while. He asked to snuggle with him, layed down like Brookie does with him and held him for 15 minutes. No joke. He held his hand and just enjoyed his baby brother. I truly feel like these two brothers were besties in heaven and Blakey sent Parley ahead to get a head start where he was so unhealthy there for a bit. Then Blake made his surprise entrance.

Our sweet Blakey
*sleeps a lot. Just like all the others. Sleeps the majority of the day away still and then sleeps pretty good at night. I really cant complain one ounce.
*He is a somber child. Not mad, sad, nor happy, cheerful. I have to work like the dickens to get a smile out of him and then its short lived and impossible to catch on camera.
*He loves patty cake, this is when i get his only smiles.
*He is chubbing out nicely. Such a chubby good boy
*He is a great traveler, just like all his siblings. We dont give them a change not to be. He just sleeps the whole entire time.
*He takes a bottle, when needed. I had to pump and dump for 24 hours this month, and then had to attended a 5 hour class. Both times he took bottles with ease. Some were even formula and he didn't mind.
*He has loved his binki until recently. He is starting to fight it. We will see how long it lasts, im not a dedicated binki putter back inner, so they usually dont get it once they start fighting it.
*He doenst mind tummy time, as long as its short. He either falls asleep or starts grunting and crying if I leave him too long.
*He is a NOISY sleeper! I cant wait to get him in his own room, but then i worry he will wake Parley. He is the loudest grunter ever. I never heard such a loud sleeper.

We adore this babe. He is loved to the moon and back. We are grateful he is part of our family. He is a special boy, i can tell already.
