Cuddles

Lately Blake has begun to show an interest in soft toys. This is new.

Naturally, he likes to throw them, poke them in the eyes and occasionally bite their noses. From time to time, he also likes to CUDDLE them!! He holds them up to the side of his head and gives them a nice hug!

It is just about the sweetest thing I have ever seen.

My boy, the cuddler.

Sleepyhead

Even when Blake was a little tiny guy he was a good sleeper. And for this we are very thankful.
Once he is asleep he sleeps long and he sleeps deeply. However, getting him to sleep can sometimes be a bit tricky.

Lately, though, things have taken a turn for the better. When we take Blake into his room for his nap or bedtime, he lays his head against our shoulder and cuddles in for a song and a pat and then he goes down, sweetly and quietly.

Blake has never been the snuggliest guy in the world, so these bedtime cuddles are LOVELY. I never want to let go.

I don't have any photos of the bedtime cuddles or any recent photos of Blake sleeping, so here are some unrelated photos of Blake playing my guitar. Little cutie!
