Baker getting a foot washing from Bleeker.
His first day in the Bumbo chair...he's not too sure about it.

"Ah, that's better! Anything that works!" :o)

"Oooh, I'm pretty good at this!"

Giving Anna the sweet face

Bleeker looking like he's in heaven, on our new chair that is!

Some outdoor time with the baby.

"Do you have to pose me for this? I don't like this chair so much."

"Ah, that's nice. I think I like being outside."

Look at that cute bum!

It's Bumbo Time!

Well, things are still going great in the Blackmon household. We had a great weekend with a visit from Jeff and Anna on Friday night and a sushi picnic on our living room floor. On Saturday we just did some shopping. We really have to be strategic with our outings now that we have a little one. We can't just leave and go somewhere. We really have to take into consideration Baker's schedule, thinking that it's best to go out when it's his nap time because he sleeps as soon as he's put in his stroller but also knowing that 2 hours later we'll have to feed him. So everything has to be thought out thoroughly before we hit the road! We needed to load up on baby supplies so we hit Babies R Us for a shopping spree. It's amazing how crowded that store is every time we go in there...there is clearly a baby boom! We got Baker a Bumbo chair so that he can practice sitting up. His neck is getting so strong that we thought it might be a good idea. We have to be right there with him when we sit him in it because he tends to slump over but he just looks so cute and like a little boy!

We took a family stroll when we got back because the weather was so nice. Bleeker always seems to enjoy our walks when it's the 4 of us. Sunday we went to church again with Baker. We're so proud of how great he does during the service. It's really not nearly has hard as we thought it was going to be! Last week, I went to MOPs (Moms of Preschoolers) for the first time since Baker was born and I went to my Bible study at church...he does great, just sleeps through it all! So, all in all, it's been a great few days and we're so happy to feel like we are more and more in the loop of things again!
