Six months old!

Six months ago today, Blake came into this world!

We will be eternally thankful to Aurianna and Jake for their decision of ultimate love and unselfishness, for giving us the blessing and privilege of raising this amazing little man.
I can't believe how quickly the time has flown by! 
Blake has had a growth spurt lately!  When he stretches out, he is almost seven squares long on his blanket!
 He can sit up by himself, which he thinks is very fun!
 He LOVES his toes!  ;)
 And has the most gorgeous blue eyes!
 He loves his sister as much as ever!  She likes to read Junie B. Jones books aloud to him.
 And he already wants to grow up to be just like his daddy!
 I gave him a haircut tonight with the clippers.  I was worried the buzzing would scare him, but he was very brave . . . just curious, which made cutting the back of his head a bit of a challenge.
 He has a great smile and laugh, and makes us laugh everyday!
Silly sister!  She gave Blake a little purple piggy nose!
And she loves to surround him with her toys . . . like her plastic Easter eggs...
Six months is a big deal for any baby, but we are especially excited for adoption reasons! At six months, we can finalize our adoption legally through the courts.  Our court hearing is THIS FRIDAY!!!!  We are beyond thrilled to make everything official.  :)  But even more importantly to us, we can give Blake his baby blessing and go to the temple to be sealed as a forever family after the court hearing is official.  We will be doing both of these sweet and important things on June 16th, and couldn't be more thrilled that this special day is almost here!
 

Blake's sealing/blessing outfit came in the mail this past week, and I couldn't resist trying it on and taking a few pictures!  Here's a little sneak peek - isn't he such a handsome little man?
 Words cannot express how much we love our buckaroo!  He has changed our lives profoundly and forever.  We love him so much!
