New Photos

OK, so I'm a single dad this weekend as Bec is on a girls trip to Sardinia.  Since Katie keeps bugging me about not enough new photos on the blog, I learned how to upload during Wes' naptime.  Enjoy!

                                                         A good shot of the little guy

        Yup, those eyes are going to stay blue, however I think he is going to be right handed...

Still a messy eater...

Wes helping me build a cabinet, using his own tools.  I wouldn't have gotten it done without his help!

And here he is doing his best Carter Beauford impression!

That's Funny!

Tubby Time

Play Time

We've had a pretty small group lately, as many of our friends are back in the states and on vacations! The younger 3 were together last time, and Mitchell came over to our house to play for a little while.

Bath Time

I'm ready for bed now....here's how I got there!

Daddy comes home, has dinner and takes me to his room. He lays me on the bed and makes me tell him all about my day. He takes almost all the laughs out of me...then he takes my clothes off!
He's still talking to me, but then he gets on the floor with me and puts my in my warm tubby for some fun times!
I found my toes this week! Daddy holds them up for me, because if he doesn't, he knows he'll get very wet from my splashing!
Almost ready now! Mommy gives me a massage and puts on my pjs...then we all snuggle in bed until I'm fast asleep!

Wes is doing some new things these days! Daddy can get him to laugh...giggle laugh! I try all day and I get really sweet noises and smiles, but I guess I'm not "funny" to him! He has also rolled over from his back to tummy, and will scoot all around on his side! John went to get him from his crib the other night and his feet were where his head originated! He seems to like sleeping with this range of movement...he slept until 7am last night!

chubby legs! and arms!

we still can't get over this cute shirt!
love the hat!
thanks auntie deb for my new seat!

2 Month Check-up...at 12 weeks

On September 17, Wes had his 2 month check-up. Our friends Pam and Sir Mitchell came along for some moral support around shot time! We are happy to report that all is well with our little guy. Without his diaper on, he weighed 12lbs 10oz and he is 22in long! He did so well with his shots; the crying stopped before I got him back into his clothes. He ran a little fever that night, but other than that, he was just fine!

Wes Rolls Over

Wes has been on a roll lately. Unfortunately, this is the only footage we have...and it kind of looks like we're cheating! But when he is on the bed, he will get up on his arms (by himself) and after a few squeaks, he will roll over!

Playgroup

How sweet is this? The friends in Wes' playgroup are all under 7 months old, with only one little girl in the bunch! I was so tickled to see Wes watch the other babies. He laughed, smiled and talked most of the hour while the mommies talked and laughed at our little angels! We decided to take pics every so often so we could compare! Most of the babies will be here 2 more years with us, but all will be here until the summer! It was truly an amazing experience to see his social personality; I loved him even more as we drove home! Wes is the older of the 3 little ones, by one week and about 5 weeks! Can't wait until our next group on Friday-it is soooo much fun! If you click once on the picture, you can see them up close! Notice his chubs!!!

11 week birthday

Things I do at 11 weeks...
smile, suck on my hands, talk, sleep, cry, eat, poop up my back, pee on my mommy, swing, play under my gym, look all around, go for walks, take a tubby, sneeze, sleep with my people in the morning, go to playgroup, spend a few hours with a babysitter while mom and dad go to the ball...that's the plan at least!!

10 weeks old!

Tummy Time

Such a Big Boy!!

For some reason, Wes seemed like such a big boy in his overalls!

Sleepy Time

I could just eat these boys up!!

Vitamin Time

Wes Video Montage

So we finally figured out how to use our video editing software...here is a compilation of some good video clips we've taken recently!

Wes says good morning!
