turbo ninja

This is the new nickname for Blake. We've been calling him turbo because he crawls so fast. Tonight he earned the ninja. We put him down and 2 seconds later he's not in the room with us.
We get up and find him here:
Five steps up!
We need to get a gate set up. We have one, Adam doesn't like how it sits. Our stairs are VERY awkward.
We borrowed a "walker toy" (I don't know what it's called) from a friend and Blake LOVES it. He pushes it all around the house and he's starting to figure out how to turn around. He likes to carry things around with him. This is the monkey Regina got for him.
I found this pair of sunglasses at Target the other day and had to get them. He is such a cool dude!
This is his favorite blue octopus. It used to be up in his room and he would make a b-line for it every time we were up there. He carries it around and hugs it. He's just loving his octopus.
Yesterday he turned 10 months old! He's getting so big. His last Dr's appointment he weighed 20 lbs and was 27 inches. Today was the first time that he clapped. I was so excited. It will be really exciting when he starts walking, but I don't think I'm quite ready for that.
On another note:
Yesterday was our 8th anniversary. Adam and I went out for dinner while a friend watched Blake for us. It was nice. Then we came home to watch American Idol with our friends, Nicole and Matt. And then Adam and Matt played some Guitar Hero.

Who are you rooting for on American Idol? Happy anniversary. . . 8 years. That's insane. I remember when you had a crush on Adam way back when I was in New York. :) Time flies. . .

Oh just wait they get faster. I have to make sure ever door is double locked because Drew can escape. I had to buy a chain lock so he can't escape. and he runs fast! He doesn't walk, he runs.
