If he wants to watch a video or tv, he’ll throw/hand a remote or phone at someone. Also smacks my chest when wants attention.

He loves to climb and eat meat. Loves his sister & Korean and Japanese YouTube videos.

Blake needs to be watched all the time bc he will definitely be getting into something he shouldn’t or get hurt.

Blake at 9 months

Blake is a loud, curious, loving baby. He loves kisses and his sister.

He’s not into drinking water and loves to eat off our plates.

He’s very good at crawling, can get up the stairs, and cruises. He can stand up in the middle of the floor. He’ll be walking soon.

His favorite song is Ppap. It calms him when he’s angry.

He mostly wants to sleep on someone still.

He thinks the word foot is hilarious.

He breaks all falls with his face.

This was the first year Cadence didn’t cry while getting a shot! Whoo hoo!

Progress report

We had Cadence’s first Parent-teacher conference at the BTU. Lesley said that Cadence was quiet in the beginning and now very inquisitive. She said Cadence follows her around and asks her why she does something or to find out more about something. Her skill set is great. For example, Cadence is able to identify all her letters and count higher than 20 (the expectation for k1; she counted to 39). I’m happy that Cadence is learning her to write her letters and numbers. She said that Cadence has high emotional intelligence. That she checks in with Bridget when Bridget is grumpy to see if Bridget wants to play. If not she place with someone else. I checked in (though had already confirmed with Cadence) that Cadence is able to handle confrontation. Cadence has told me that if someone is bothering her she does tell Lesley and Lesley puts them in timeout.

I asked if Cadence plays in groups and Lesley said she seems to prefer shy away from that. I said she prefers the calm, to which Lesley replied, how great that Cadence knows that!

Blake – 2 month doc

G-daddy’s guess was the closest to his actual weight.

Blake got 3 immunization shots and was quite cranky. Nurse was impressed by how alert & strong he is! He can definitely track things now (watches me move across the room, likes the lights and Adam’s meat pictures). He likes to kick and stand, can mostly hold his head.
