The Second Child-The First 6 Months

If someone were to come across this blog they may think that we only have one child. It's not that a 2nd child doesn't exist, it's that has mother has not done much to document his life. I was chatting with a few Mom's about this at the Relief Society Broadcast last night (which was amazing by the way). Blogs today are what Baby Books used to be when I was a baby. I was the first child- therefore my baby book is amazing. It has documented my first word, step, etc. My brothers don't have quite the extensive history of their childhood recorded that I do.

So with that backstory this blog entry is all about Blake Lorden Baker. He was born June 21st 2009, Father's Day. It was special and amazing day and he was greeted by a lot of loving family. His middle name is Lorden because that is his father, grandfather, great-granfather and great-great-grandfather's middle name, each of them the first born son. The name Blake means dark and handsome, he came out with black brown hair and olive skin like his daddy. From day one he has been a healthy eater. He loves balls, mommy snuggles, food, his pacifier, and undoing things (toilet paper rolls, shoe rack, tupperware cupboard, etc) I am still figuring out his personality, at first he was very easy going, he is now a bit more assertive, I don't know if it's his age or what. I love to watch him walk, see things for the first time, and see his excitement when he sees mommy. I love being Blake's Mommy!!!Minutes old. He was born about 2:00 in the afternoon.We spent one night at the Woodland Hills Hospital. He is in his going home outfit.

August 2009- Blake's blessing. Just as sacrament meeting started he had a blow out poop. The entire back of the outfit was ruined. Thankfully we had a blanket. He was blessed with a blanket that Mom and Dad Baker bought in Jerusalem in Bethlehem where it is believed that Christ was born.
