Blake has entered the no phase, though he uses when he means it. Will try and get a video as sounds cute, like nyo.

Blake is finally starting to talk. Today, he said “grandma”, “where is dada?”, and “there he is!”
Other words he says (though he isn’t super consistent:
– more
– meow meow
– up
– ta (for thanks)

Blake is an enthusiastic, physical kid. He jumps, climbs, and enjoys running in open spaces.
He doesn’t really have words, we don’t think. Adam thinks he has none, I’ve heard;
1) mama
2) dada
3) up
4) good (when eating)
5) love
6) cat (aaat)
7) jump
Also, not sure that he consistently uses them. At his doctor’s appointment yesterday, Dr. Brown seemed a bit worried about his lack of speech. She said we could try early intervention if he doesn’t pick up 5 words in a month. I’m not too worried since Bec, Abby, & Joshie didn’t start speaking till 2 years old.
Otherwise, Blake is healthy. He loves to eat fish, broccoli, & kale. He likes opening things with lids and putting things inside other things. He loves playing at the playground after school with the other kids.

Cadence was quite funny for her visit. She was doing jumping jacks for Dr. Brown to show how healthy she is! So proud of our girl!

Blake and Cadence are still trending pretty close in size (though Blake is heavier). Otherwise, they have very different personalities. Blake is a very physical kid. He loves climbing, running, balls, & hanging with the big kids.
