And, B loves playing with her cousin Scarlett! |
This was a picture our babysitter texted me of Blakesley playing outside one day. She loves to pull her wagon or push her car. |
Daylight Savings Time threw Blakesley off a bit, so even though we still put her down between 6:30-7:00 PM at night, it is taking her longer to fall asleep. She is, however, still sleeping with her little bottom up in the air and I think it is the absolute cutest thing ever! She sleeps 12-13 hours at night and naps 2-3 hours in the afternoon. She has a pacifier, blankets, books and animals in her crib. She is always so happy in her crib. She loves me to rock her in the rocking chair for a few minutes before her nap and before bedtime. I don’t ever rock her to sleep, but I love when her little head rests on my chest for a bit.
Blakesley still does not like dogs, especially Wilbur. Although, she did enjoy playing with Wilbur’s toys at the end of our Bloomington trip last week, and she was handing them to him, but still did not want Wilbur to get too close to her.
Every day we can hear the church bells at least 2 times a day. Blakelsey LOVES to listen for them, and then she tells you to “shhhh” and then starts shaking her hand, as though she has a bell in her hand whenever she hears them ring!!! And she squeals with joy!
Blakesley loves her Great Grandpa! |
Blakelsey and I have a great routine a few mornings a week at the gym when I go workout. She now knows how to hang her coat up, get her sticker on, and walk in the kids zone without crying! When I come back from working out and the teachers say, “Blakesley your Mom is here,” you hear the greatest sound in the world of Blakesley screaming for me and she comes racing to give me a hug! And then she runs to get her coat. It’s a great routine ( for both of us! ).
