Blake Douglas VanOrden

So Gracie tagged Blake and I guess I am supposed to put 10 interest things about Blake!

1. Blake has looked like his dad from day one. Well, except for the hair obviously. Eveyone thinks he is a miniature Doug, but I would like to think that he got some of his good looks from his Mom!

2. He loves being outside, just like his Dad! Blake would run around in shorts in the snow if i would let him. Every time i open the front door to get the mail he thinks we are going outside and gets so excited. Good thing the park is in our front yard!

3. Blake loves Cars and Finding Nemo. He will sit down and watch the whole movie without hardly blinking. I can always count on Lightning McQueen when i need to get some work done.

4. Blake's vocabulary is limited to just a few words including mom, dad, grandma, ouch and uh-oh. He talks all the time, to himself sometimes, we just can't understand his language.

5. For some reason he hates nursery. We sent him to nursery a few months early because he didn't want him in primary or elders quorum. He used to love it and now when i come down to do singing time he freaks and starts crying. He did learn how to do a "thumbs up" in nursery tho.

6. He has a favorite blanket that he hardly ever sleeps without. Its minky and all we have to do is hand him his blanket and he goes to bed just fine! We have drug that blanket on the plane to SC and PA and we don't go out of town without it!

7. Blake gets more haircuts than doug and i combined. For some reason his hair grows so fast and it seems like we have Sheila cut his hair every month!

8. Blake loves to color. Not only in his coloring book but also on the walls, fridge and anywhere else he probably shouldn't be coloring.

9. Grandpa Campbell thinks he is ambidextrous, but probably not. He writes and eats with his right, but throws a ball with his left. Maybe he is just right handed and has a left dominant eye like his mom!

10. Blake has the world's coolest parents- okay so i'm running out of interesting things- but Blake is an awesome kid and we'd like to think that it comes from his awesome parents!
