IT'S A GIRL!!!

For all of you who have not heard the news, we're having a little girl:)  I tried scanning pics of the ultrasound and I was having technical difficulties, so we will try again soon!  We are very excited! Maybe she will calm Wesley down a bit;)

Silly Wesley

Lately, Wesley has REALLY been coming out of his shell and sharing his silly personality! He is quite the character. Below I have posted some funny face pics and other's that just make us laugh.

I put this sticker on Wesley's nose and he just couldn't figure out where it was. He kept reaching for his head and then after a while gave up. It was there for about 15 minutes until I felt guilty and took it off:)

Crawling around with toys in his mouth

This picture is sensored for obvious reasons. This little munchkin is impossible to dress after he gets out of the bathtub! He just loves being naked:)

One of his regular goofy faces

Because Wesley is so close to walking he has just gotten fed up with the normal way of crawling, so he now crawls like a stink bug....it's pretty funny to watch.

Last but not least....just figured out how to get up on the coffee table. And not only just get up on top, but once he is up there he likes to crawl around like a crazy animal and stand up! I am praying for a calm one next:)

Wesley and His Walker

Wesley seems to pick up some things a little late (crawling, etc) but once he figures them out it's full speed ahead. Here's a video of him walking with his new walker. Watching him crash that thing into everything already makes me a little scared for him to start driving.

Baby #2

Wesley is going to be a big brother!!! I am 13 weeks along for all of you who are just finding out the news and due September 8th. This pregnancy has still been rough but it's been different which makes me think maybe it's a girl. With Wesley, all I craved were fatty salty foods and this time it's fatty sweet foods:) I eat waffles for dinner and brownies for breakfast, you name it! Anyway, we are so excited! The little munchkins will be 20 months apart, so a little close but I think they will love it!

Wintertime

Here is what we have been doing during this winter!

Taking warm bubble baths:)

Bugging daddy during work and drinking out of his water bottle. I think he makes a pretty cute WellSteps model!

Taking some very long naps:)

Getting into Mommy and Daddy's things

Taking shaving notes from Daddy

Pulling himself up on anything he can reach!

Visiting the Aquarium

Biting through the crib like a little beaver

And last but not least, playing in the snow!

Christmas

This post is a little late but I am trying to catch up! When my parents were here for Wesley's birthday we decided to head down to the Riverwoods and check out the lights. There were some very beautiful trees!
As you can see above Wesley is like "alright, let's get this over with!"......he could care less about Santa:) I guess it's better than being totally freaked out!

First time playing in the snow!

I had to post this. Wesley is so infatuated with teeth and gums. We think he is going to take over the family dental practice....guess Brent won't be able to retire for a while!

On our way to an ugly sweater party for Ryan's work. Although I think Wesley looks adorable in his sweater, he is making a pretty goofy face.

From Utah snow to California sun!

Christmas morning going through his stocking.

What have we here?!

That is the first time we have given Wesley any kind of sugar like that. He was devouring that sucker. We of course only let hime suck on it for a few minutes, it was Christmas morning.....he HAD to have some sugar!

His activity cube from the grandparents!

After church on Christmas day

Friends! We had a friend get together while we were in California and I finally got to meet little Lila, isn't she just a doll? Even cuter in person if you can imagine that! It was so fun catching up with everyone!

Wesley LOVED "skiddy" the kitty. As you can see she is hiding behind him, smart move cat!

This is how we rang in the new year! A couple of frozen pizzas and some redbox movies. Wesley came down with a fever of 103 that afternoon so we decided it was best to lay low and relax. It ended up being a lot of fun!

Happy 1st Birthday Wesley!

Wesley turned 1 on December 20th and so we threw him a party about a week before. Here are some of the highlights!

His dinosaur birthday cake that I poured my heart and soul into:)....totally worth it by the way!

Mmmmm yummy cupcakes!! My cousin Allison gave me some great tips when making them. Thanks again Allison, they were delicious!

Jelly filled ones too!

Presents! Unfortunately Wesely was cutting a tooth the day of his party so we had to do things out of order because he was a bit grumpy. Presents, then cake. I guess it was his party.

More presents!

Wesley was NOT shy about digging into that cake! What a boy!

Mmmm oh SO good!

The after math (poor dino)

These next couple of pics were taken on his real birthday.

We gave him a puzzle, he has seemed to like it. Probably not his favorite toy, but I think it will be good for him as he gets a little older. He can take them out, I guess that's a start.

Great Grandma Maggie gave him this molding kit for his birthday so we immortalized his handprints:) He seemed to like it.

Since we had already given him a very sugar-filled cake at his party, we decided to make some healthy homemade blueberry muffins for his birthday. He didn't mind!

Happy 1st Birthday my little man!!
