Blake Still is a "Bean"…










…a jumping Bean, that is!

Dawn and Chris went on a 5-day vacation, so we took care of Blake. Since my arms could not handle the 15 lbs 12 oz of constant jumping up-and-down, we bought him a jumperoo. He loved it…spending over 30 minutes at a time non-stop jumping until he fell asleep right in it! Blake also had his 4 month check-up the day before Dawn & Chris left, so I got to start him on rice cereal (Dawn got to give him his first feeding). What a mess!

We also have a piano virtuoso on our hands (Larry, note what he is playing…you gave this keyboard to Shannon when she was little).

We had a great time with him, but I now understand why grandparents like to send the kids home…their bodies need to recoup!

Our "Grand-den" and Go Bears!!!!



Since Blake has been spending so much time here (we love it!) we decided to convert his mommy’s old bedroom into a room for him. We originally set up Shannon’s old crib, but then decided it was a little too worn so we invested in a new one. In order to be fair to any future grandchildren we are not calling it Blake’s room, it’s the “Grand-den”.

I’ve also attached a current picture of Blake…very close up. Looks as though he will have hazel eyes like his daddy and his reddish hair is starting to turn brown, also like his daddy. He still has a round, very round face like his mommy (and grandpa).

Hope everyone is doing well! Haven’t had any personal news on here for a while…where is everyone? Watching the Bears, I hope!!!

Love,
GrandMar
