This. It lasted for a good 20 minutes without stopping before he finally passed out in Mommy's arms. Oh and the other people in the room? They're just trying to enjoy some Christmas Carols together, don't mind them. </div>

I love the church meetings with extra focus on the birth and life of Jesus Christ, the Christmas songs, and of course all the kids decked out in their best Christmas outfits.<br />
<br />
Blaze made sure to wear his best suit. He refused to let me take a picture at home, but I was able to snap some before any meetings started (while Dad was setting up chairs). <br />
<br />
Have you seen anything more adorable? I mean really. <br />

<br />
On his birthday we had special breakfast of pumpkin french toast (with whipped cream on top) and hot chocolate. Then Blaze's friend Taylor from the neighborhood came over to play (her mom and brother Baby Mitt came too). Blaze loves having friends come over to our house, it was a great way to spend the morning.<br />
<br />
Once Dad came home from work we had a dinner of some of Blaze's favorite foods: meatloaf (with extra ketchup) and peas.<br />
<br />
In the evening some extended family came over and Blaze had a great time opening presents and eating cake. In nursery they sing the "Happy Birthday Song" to the kids so Blaze knew the words and had been singing it to himself all day.<br />
<br />
He must have had a good day, for weeks afterward whenever any mention of birthdays was made he would ask "Blaze birthday too?"<br />
<br />
I did take pictures of the day, but part way through the fun I had to switch to a new memory card. Until I remember the safe place I put the other memory card, this is the only documentation I have of the day.<br />

<br />
We went to my parent's neighborhood since it has more houses and less 3 story high condo stairs to climb. We enjoyed the traditional chili and cornbread dinner, then headed out to teach Blaze the tricks of the candy trade.<br />
<br />
Lucky for us the weather was nice and we went out early enough in the evening that Blaze's little legs didn't freeze in his short shorts. We also decided to only go to about 10 handpicked neighbors' doors so we weren't out very long.<br />
<br />
At the first 2 doors Blaze thought we were going over to play so when the door opened he would walk right in and make himself at home with whatever book, toy, or pet he saw. As soon as he realized the purpose was to get candy, his approach changed. For the rest of the houses we visited he would quietly mumble something that sorta sounded like "trick or treat," hold out his bag, and as soon as he had the candy he would try to shut the door so we could move on. It didn't matter if the person was still talking, he got what he came for and was ready to keep going.<br />
<br />
Of course the neighbors said he had the best costume they saw all night. I would have to agree.<br />

The most important parts of October are visiting the pumpkin patch and dressing up for Halloween. The pictures of us enjoying these traditions pretty much speak for themselves.</div>

After all the family left we settled back into a more normal routine. Since summer was almost over we thought it would be a good time to tackle some of the items on our summer-to-do-list. We had to at least say we tried.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First on the list was the backyard. We reseeded the entire thing. Blaze really liked helping and had to wear "gubs" while he worked. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's hope the seed takes root and next spring we have a fun place to run and play. </div>

I want to remember some things about him at this time:<br />
<br />
He is 31 inches (17%)<br />
He is 27 pounds (86%)<br />
<br />
He says over 20 words and seems to be adding to his vocabulary every day. He LOVES going "sye" (outside) and gets really excited when he hears someone mention it and, like a puppy, will sit at the door whining until you let him out. <br />
<br />
He climbs on EVERYTHING he can - stools, chairs, railings, his crib, rocks, walls. In fact I don't think he has any fear or sense of self-preservation. At the pool he will jump in whenever he wants and not bother to check if any one is ready to catch him (thank heavens for floaties!). So he is constantly getting new bruises and scrapes. I guess this is something I will need to get used to.<br />
<br />
He runs everywhere he goes. Sometimes it is on his tip toes, or with his arms straight back, or with his chubby little legs and butt wobbling as he tries to keep up the momentum. But it always full speed and energy ahead. <br />
<br />
He is very social, loves nursery and playdates and park trips - any place with other kids. <br />
<br />
He is also starting to say No when he doesn't want to do something and throw tantrums when I say No to something in return. I hope this is not something that lasts long.<br />
<br />
Overall though, he is still the most adorable little boy who loves to have fun, be silly, laugh and make others laugh.<br />

The purpose of the trip was for my Grandpa's 89th birthday. He has
accomplished a lot in 89 years, not the least of which is a wonderful
family. It was nice that so many of them could get together to
celebrate!<br />

Blaze loves it when he gets to help in the kitchen. Mostly because it doesn't happen very often and there are so many fun things in the kitchen, pantry, powder room, and laundry room (everywhere that is usually blocked off by the baby gate). And the reason it doesn't happen very often? Because he likes to do this.<br />

I would upload all 71 pictures but that would make a ridiculously long post. But I had to post at least a few of our favorites. <br />
<br />
Ok, maybe more than a few but it's hard to narrow them down! You try picking a favorite, go ahead and try!<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">There once was a lad named Blaze</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Who drove his ma to a craze.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">But each night before bed, </span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">she'd lay a kiss on his head</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">and pray Lord, let this be just a phaze!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">I'm aware of said cute little boy,</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">And his ability to irk and annoy.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">So what has he done, to make it no fun</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">To hang out with him todoy?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">No doubt when he sleeps he is terribly sweet</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">When he plays he is something to adore</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">The trouble comes when he eats and no matter the treat<br />He likes it best dumped on the floor!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">I cannot imagine the stress you are having,</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">This behavior simply must stop .</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">You must tell him "no more more throwing good food on the floor .</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Do it again and it's your turn to mop!"</span><br />

Plus, now you have something to brighten up your dull and boring January!<br />
<br />
We had a great Christmas. Luckily, Blaze remembered all of the unwrapping skills he had mastered with his birthday a few weeks earlier. <br />

Unfortunately, his mom hasn't mastered the "take a crazy amount of pictures for each holiday moment" skill that is part of parenthood. So there is only one picture of that day for the record. Oops, better luck at the next holiday. It's still a cute picture though. <br />
<br />
The best part of Christmas was the entire week that Mike had off of work. We spent a lot of time taking naps, eating leftover ham, and just enjoying the time together. We also snuck in a few activities and outings including a trip to the aquarium with Grandpa and Grandma Groves. <br />

We decided to celebrate for a whole week and included a trip to Pennsylvania as part of the festivities, as well as a party here at home. Here are some of the highlights:<br />
<br />
<br />
<u>Thanksgiving</u><br />
A holiday all about food? Blaze couldn't ask for a better way to kick things off. <br />

<u>Presents</u><br />
Blaze had such good manners, he read the cards carefully and said thank you with each gift!<br />

<br />
<u>Cakes</u><br />
Each time the situation was similar. Blaze started out cautious, only picking at the sprinkles or frosting. But once he realized that the stuff was good (or once he was sitting properly at a table, again manners!) he went to town eating as much as was put in front of him or anyone sitting next to him.<br />

And he has a great sense of humor. Like the other day when Mike was finishing up Blaze's bath time. He had turned on the faucet to rinse Blaze off, and was picking him up to pull him out of the tub. At just the right moment Blaze reached out and pulled the pin on the faucet that turns the shower on and refused to let go. In the end both boys got soaked, but only Blaze was laughing.
