Needless to say, Blake LOVES being naked! He jumps at any chance he gets to take his clothes off. I will typically let him run around naked for a bit every morning and night when we’re getting ready for the day and ready for bed. Well, this morning he was running around naked and I was in his room picking out some clothes for him to wear. I went looking for him and come to find the front door wide open. This was a bit of a shocker because he doesn’t know how to open doors yet. I quickly remembered that I had asked him to close the door for me earlier this morning and well…the door kind of sticks so it was left cracked open. After remembering how on earth he could have gotten outside I continued out the front door to see what he was doing. He had never been naked outside before! 
Well, to my amusement I found him peeing on the front porch. I can’t even begin to explain how proud he looked!!! It is definitely one of the funniest things he has done to date…I had a very hard time not laughing too hard (didn’t want to ruin his moment). When I got him back inside I briefly explained to him that we don’t go outside naked. My sweet little boy is growing up so fast!
Naked
Blowing Kisses
I sometimes blow Blake a kiss when I’m laying him down to sleep. Well, he has recently decided to blow me kisses back. Sooo sweet!!! Just love that little boy. He’ll do it over and over now with the cutest little smile on his face and wait for me to keep doing it back to him as I slowly back out the door.
Yes / No
Blake loves to say yes and no!
I believe this came about from playing with the Xbox 360. He thoroughly enjoys going through all of the different menus on the Xbox, so every once in awhile I let him go to town! Well, Nate has an avatar that he created which Blake seems to like a lot (especially his hat!). I was cleaning up in the kitchen one day and realized that he had been on this avatar screen for over 10 minutes, so of course I went to see what could be so interesting to him. I come to find out that Blake is moving the little character’s head left to right, up / down, etc. I had no idea you could do this! If you make his head spin crazy it will even make him dizzy…pretty funny. So, I started to play with him. I would move the character’s head up and down and would also say, “Yes!”. Then I would move it from left to right and say, “No!”. His laughs were uncontrollable for a bit!
To make a long story short I’m pretty sure this is why he now enjoys saying “yes” and “no”. He likes to try and nod his head up and down when he says yes, then shake it from left to right when he says no and he keeps doing this pattern over and over. Very cute indeed.
Big Helper
Blake is at a super cute age so I’ve decided that I need to be better about documenting the silly things he does! Lately, I’ve been calling him my big helper because he LOVES to help me with all of the household stuff. He is actually starting to be quite helpful rather then make each job take 10 times as long. We were sorting laundry yesterday and he was helping me put it into separate piles. He found all the socks for me in the gigantic pile of clothes and with each one he found, he gladly yelled out, “Sock!!!”, and placed it into the pile. Such a happy little guy.
Anyway, the main reason why I’m talking about this is because of what is now happening with my “big helper”. Today, I was writing some addresses on some envelopes and along comes Blake to check out what I’m doing. As soon as he sees that I have a pen and paper, he got so excited, started pulling on my pants and yelled out, “Helper!”, over and over. It was truly priceless! Now obviously, who can say no to that?! So I pick him up and sit him on the counter with his own pen and paper next to where I’m working. This worked great for awhile. He was being such a big helper. Then, he decided he wasn’t satisfied with his papers and needed to write all over mine. Well, I wouldn’t have that so of course he got frustrated and kept trying harder and harder. I ended up setting him on the floor and telling him thank you for helping me but that I needed to do some work by myself now. He got so upset at me and kept hitting / pulling on my pants saying “Helper!” over and over. I seriously couldn’t get over it. So stinkin cute!! I ended up turning on his favorite TV show (Eebee) to get him happy again. So as you can see, he’s already figured out how being cute will get him his way…
