About our blog

This blog began as an attempt to keep our family and friends included in the adventures of little Baby Blakely until he made his appearance in the world. Now, this has become a gathering place for all of our various adventures as we continue to enjoy time as a growing family.

Toddlerhood

I'm sorry...who stole my baby and replaced him with a toddler?  I apologize for the lack of posts here lately.  Things have been a little crazy in the Blakely household.  So I will try my best to catch you up.

Happiness is at the bottom of the Box





My wife and I began our CrossFit journey in October of 2012. We had heard of this unique fitness experience from our friends and co-workers and decided to humor them at CrossFit 1st Due’s “bring a friend” night. We showed up that evening two months past the birth of our son with plenty of apprehension and baby weight to go around. What greeted us was nothing short of terrifying. When we walked in there was a guy doing ring muscle-ups in the corner, a row of humongous tractor tires, and letters in weird combinations on a whiteboard. I almost turned around and walked right out thanks to the sheer horror I saw unfolding in front of me.

I’m so thankful I stayed.

No Purées Here!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

So, we at the Blakely household decided to enter the world of solid foods last night!  We were planning on waiting until Noah turned 6 months old, but lately he has been reaching and grabbing for everything (including our food) and doing some serious chewing on anything he can get to his mouth (including my fingers...ouch!).  So we decided to try it out a week and a half early.
