Brewers on the Move: Blake- Month 4

Dear Blake,

Another month as flown by, I mean literally I feel like it was September 1st yesterday, but what a great short month it has been!

We kicked off the month with football season and you fit very well into the family, intently watching every play. Your Gators and Tigers have done well so far and you seem pretty happy about that.

You got to spend more time with your daddy this month as mommy went back to work a few nights a week. And what a treat it has been for the two of you! While I miss you terribly, it is so nice to see the joy on your face when daddy enters the room. You are definitely getting to know him and fall in love with him more now that I am away.

You are performing more tricks and figured out that to end tummy time you just had to roll over. And thats just what you did.

You surprised us all and learned how to sleep through the night. One night we put you down at 9 and the next thing we knew it was 7. And that was that.

You are learning to sit and now laying down is just not an option.

Your toys are more interesting and you are acknowleding your pups.

Grammy came in town for a visit. And you got to see the mountains and the fall leaves.

You did not like the cold wind on your face!

You are officially a thumb sucker. Pacifers just won't do and each night you fall asleep with your right thumb in your mouth and your left arm thrown over your face.

You have such a little personality! You get angry when things don't go your way, you smile sweetly when you first see us, you flirt, you pout and you break into the biggest grin and squeal when you are entertained and happy.

Oh and your laugh! You learned to laugh and it just made our hearts explode. One solid giggle and a multitude of squeals just made us the happiest parents around.

You love flying and flipping and tipping and twirling. You love kisses on your toes and on your nose. You love bath time and silly songs. And you squeal and shake and smile and shimmy to prove it!

You are the love of our lives and each and every day pulls us deeper into your charm. While it may have been the fastest and craziest four months of our lives we can say with 100% certainty that we would do it one million times over.

We are more fulfilled than we ever thought possible and it is all because of your button nose, deep blue eyes, wild hair, sweet smile and exploding personality.

We love you,

Mommy and Daddy
