Pretending he has funny ears.

His current favorite thing to do – build a brick house (like the smart little pig).

The group taking a break from the boat for lunch.

We decided to have “boy day” (which will change to kid’s day once we have girls as well) and I made this video to commemorate. I will post more about boy day on my blog if you are interested in what we did.

Disclaimer: Blake told me this was boring :) , so you don’t have to watch it. I enjoyed making it and am glad to have it and add to it in future years. It is 5 minutes long and I thought at least the grandparents would enjoy it.

He smiles and coos a lot :)

And he sure likes to suck on his fingers

The sun setting over the ocean. It was still one or two hours to the car (we used headlamps).

Blake’s favorite pose: throwing a snowball
