Miss Green Eyes

Well, Butters has learned that if she wants attention she has to hang out where Wes is. Wes looks pretty small compared to Butters and and she is only 10 pounds. I'd hate to have Wes be next to Mittens who is a hefty 20 pounds...

Armpit Sleeper

Wes has a new favorite way to sleep on people. He buries his face in their armpit. He started doing this a little over a week ago and it scared me that he would have trouble breathing. No matter how many times Ben and I move him out of the arm crack, he wiggles his way back in. I wonder when this little phase will end? Well... at least I hope it is a phase. Until then, whoever holds him should make sure that they put on their deodorant for the day. :)

Oh, one more thing to share... look who got caught sucking their thumb. I had to take a picture, because I figured it may be good blackmail material for when he is older.

Just an Average Joe (or Wes)

Well, Wes and I just got back from his two month check-up. He now weighs 10 lbs., 9 oz. and is 22.75 in. long. He falls in the average category. I guess he isn't so chunky after all. The doctor was pretty impressed by how strong he is and how well he is sleeping through the night. He said that Wes is a very healthy baby. I'll take that good news. :) I better eat lots of ice cream today so that he is rewarded for being such a good boy.

Bath Time

Okay, am I a bad mom since it took me eight weeks to get the classic picture of baby taking a bath? You wouldn't have really wanted to see pictures of his first couple of baths anyway, believe me. He screamed the entire time. Even though he hated sponge baths, he really likes "real" baths. He just lays there and looks at me the whole time. He must like a good soak in the tub just like his mommy.

These are the best pictures that I could get. He looks a little freaked out, because he isn't used to me using the flash on the camera.

8 Weeks Old

I decided to have Wes try on the cute hat that my mom made for him. I couldn't help but snap a bunch of shots. Some of the angles made me laugh, because you could only see the white yarn in the hat and it made Wes look like he had a George Washington wig on. Too funny...

Mr. Chubsters

Ben snapped this picture of Wes and I on the couch together earlier this week. As you probably have noticed, his hair fell out shortly after he was born. It is finally starting to grow back. His hair is darkish blonde with a definite red tint to it. You may have also noticed that he is filling out nicely. He has the biggest belly going on and his little cheeks are chubbing out. I guess he takes after both his mommy and daddy with his healthy appetite. He has now grown out of one pair of newborn jammies and two pair of newborn pants. He can still (barely) fit in Huggies newborn diapers. Where did my little newborn go? So sad...

Shhh, don't tell Wes, but he goes to the doctor next week for his two month check up. That means shots... lots of them. Mommy is NOT looking forward to that.

TGIF

Even though Wes has been sleeping really well this week, I have been the most tired ever. I am ready for the weekend. I was so excited to wake up this morning and smell coffee (thanks Ben!!!)

Ben and I may even get a babysitter tomorrow so that we can get out and do some golfing. As much as I hate leaving Wes, I am really looking forward to starting up golf this year. My abdomen is still pretty sore from labor, so I don't think my body will be able to put up with playing beach volleyball this summer. I'll just have to rely on golf for my sports outlet.

Here is Mr. Handsome all dressed up in the cute T-shirt his Aunt Amy gave him last weekend. Isn't he cute?

A Good Night's Sleep

Wes has had a lot going on this week. His eyelashes decided to double in length and his little nose is starting to pop out. I hope he gets his daddy's long lashes. He even decided to sleep eight and a half hours straight last night. As much as I love my sleep, I kind of miss our little times at night together.
