June (Blake's 11th month)

Here is Blake in June!


We had a great morning in the park. You can see Jack climbing a tree in a green shirt while Blake climbs over mommy's legs to play with the grass. 


We also made a trip to the carousel. A definite favorite.

The Christian Science Center Fountain is also a favorite. Everyone has fun and no one stays dry.

Speaking of not staying dry, Jack had finally agreed to share the bath tub with Blake. He's not a huge fan of Blake's splashing, but he loves squirting Blake with the water squirting bath toys! Blake loves any attention from his big brother. 

Blake now drinks through a straw!  Jack was not the biggest fan of straws as a baby, so we were determined to get Blake more into them, and now he is. Thank you, Hayley!


Blake eats everything in sight. Many meals he eats more than Jack. A common day for Blake is: 

Breakfast: bottle, Cheerios, raspberries (his favorite), Stonyfield baby yogurt

Lunch: bottle, beans, corn, cheese, turkey

Dinner: pasta, peas (another favorite), chicken, bottle

One thing Blake does not do well is keep his food on a plate!  Sometimes Jack helps him clean up when Blake dumps his plate over!


Jack finished up in the John Winthrop red room with Watermelon Day. 


It was a beautiful day. Jack loves singing all the songs at home, but was not a super active participant during the actual performance. 



The blue playground is a favorite and the ride on toys are very popular with Blake now. 


This one time, it was a ride on toy for two!


Jack can now also ride his little tricycle from Grandma and Grandpa. 


Mommy and daddy finally made it to the MFA summer party and had a blast!


One day we headed out to the Boston Harbor Islands, Spectacle Island. It was a great little 1 mile walk around the island and then we had a picnic on the beach. The ferry ride out and back was fun too. It was a beautiful day!


We had a great beach weekend in Seabrook, NH, with Grammy, Papi, Maria, Jeff, Grace, Auntie Marilyn, Grant, Megan, and Reese and Emmie. The weather was perfect and everyone had a blast. 


Blake and Jack enjoyed being pulled on a towel by daddy. 



Jack and Emmie were hard at work together. 


The three enjoyed jumping into a big hole they dug in the sand. 


There were lots of fun activities inside as well. 


Grammy and Papi even managed a good pic with the grandkids. 


Tough to follow up a day at the beach, but it was a great morning of strawberry picking at Sunshine Farms. 


Jack did a great job picking the red ones (only a few green ones). Blake did a great job eating them!


Cousins Reese and Emmie came by for a visit before their flight out from Logan. It was great to see them again.  The girls loved holding Blake. He liked it more than  his expression suggests!



Reese is a great reader!
