Baby Wes--7 Months!

At seven months old Wes...enjoys a fine meal of mixed veggies!
is teething, although there aren't any teeth yet.  He chews, drools, and has a runny nose!
is absolutely happy and very loved!
is unable to defend himself from predators, like Mitch!

Wes and Mommy in Spain--Mallorca

Wes and I traveled to Mallorca, the largest Spanish island in the Mediterranean Sea/Balearic Sea.  It is a major tourist destination for Germans; our tickets were only 40 euro total for both of us!  We were traveling with my good friends, Chanel and Kristen and certainly enjoyed our two nights away.  Wes really isn't a fan of the ocean quite yet.  He just likes to watch it and stay away from the water and sand!  The Bahamas will help with that, since we are traveling there next week!  He should be more fond of the powder beaches and warmer water.  Stay tuned for that update!

Club 2025


Play group was so much fun today!  These boys are really beginning to play with each other...taking toys away from each other, laughing and talking with each other!



Wes loved the parachute...it tasted good and was lots of fun!

6 Month Shots



 




Our 6 month check-up isn't for a few more weeks...even though Wes will be 7 months old.  But we still went in last week for the immunizations!  First we had lunch with John, then my friend Kristen went to the clinic with Wes and me.  He drank the first immunization with a smile on his face; the tech said he'd never had a baby do so well!  Then he had two injections in the leg--with just a whimper!!  No fever followed this time, and he was able to meet back up with dad for some R&R! 

Big Boy!!






Wes had a few firsts last week!  On our first trip to the commissary when we got home from Hawaii, we bought him a few sippy cups.  These photos are his first experience with the sippy cup.  He likes the water, but still needs for us to hold the cup for him.  They actually require some major sucking, so we took the spill-proof piece out...which makes for a nice wet baby!  He is also quite fond of Cheerios these days, although he has difficulty picking them up and getting them into his mouth.  They usually end up on his bib, or under his chubby chin!  We are a little queasy about his tolerance for the soggy Cheerios that soak up the water from his sippy cup spillage!

Last of the Hawaii Pics







Ok, so I've totally overdone it on pics from our last month and a half, but I couldn't choose!  We enjoyed our vacations so much and have so many wonderful memories and photos!  

My little cutie! OUR little cutie!





Diving: A Whale of an Experience!

How cool is this!  As we left the dock on our dive trip, the sun was just rising...and the whales were full of energy!  In Hawaii, you have to stop the boat if you see whales within a few hundred yards.  That's awesome!  It made for an exciting addition to our dive trip!

Heading right for the boat!
Diving down...for about 20 minutes!
