Marathon Blog

There has been so many random things lately, I thought I would post as much as I can remember in this one big blog.

Here are a few more birthday party pictures.

Opening presents with daddy (thanks jodi!)

Blake's "smash" cake

Enjoying her cake

Heading up for a bath after cake time...this is her new favorite thing...to put her hands out and say "Waaaasss daaat???" so precious.

A fun new toy, this has already been used so much!

Claire and Blake playing in the back yard

Nick and Blake went for a quick trip to Akransas so Nick could hunt.  Blake spent the time with her Grammie and PaPaw.

Reading books with PaPaw

This picture cracks me up

While they were gone I worked way to much (in my opinion :)  I had a absolutely INSANE 17 hour shift on Thursday. I actually cried while giving report that night.  It was horrible. I had two patients code within 3 hours of each other...not good.  They both made it through that night though.  I am so thankful to have a job with the kind of flexibility and hours that nursing offers me, but I would also like a job that I knew what each day might hold.  With nursing, you never know. 

I took Blake for her one year check up today...everything looks good.  I don't have the numbers in front of me but I remember she is > 95 % for height.  The doctor kept saying "She's going to be very tall."   Which I love.  She had 4 shots and had to have her finger pricked so they could run her hemoglobin.  She handled it like a pro.  And as always, the doctor was impressed with what a smart, happy baby she is :)  I'm so proud of her...She's doing so many new things.

I snuck my camera in a got a few pics of us waiting for the dr.   Isn't her hair getting long?

Her "Was dat??" look.

Our trip home, can you find the yellow bandaids?  There are three.
