Finally starting to talk…
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 at 18 months
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 – 6 year visit
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!
