Mother's Day

I know that it is only 9:00am on Sunday morning, but the day has been great so far. Ben made me breakfast in bed. Chocolate chip pancakes with a little maraschino cherry juice drizzled over the top... Yummy! The "MOM" pancake was the best. :) Wes must have thought that I needed a little pampering after those 20 hours of labor (which let me remind you included a horrendous 4 hours of pushing), because he set me up with a massage, facial, mani & pedi. I can't wait!

After so many years of feeling sad for what I didn't have on Mother's Day, I was finally able to experience tears of joy. I think that having to wait a little longer to become a mother has given me a greater appreciation of what a wonderful gift motherhood really is. God has truly blessed our lives with little Wes.

12:00pm update: I never thought that I would be so proud to wear spit-up all down the front of my shirt during church service. :)

Naptime and Playtime

Here is Wessy Poo napping in his crib.
Here he is hanging onto his singing bear. Grabbing onto toys is a new thing

that he started a few days ago.

Singing Mommy

Here are two of my favorite pictures from today. He is smiling and cooing more and more everyday. He loves to be sung to. I sing away, but I wish that I could carry a better tune. Wes doesn't seem to mind too much. He actually thinks I'm pretty funny. I need to think of some more songs though. I sing the same songs over and over again. Does anyone have any good suggestions?

Tummy Time

Check Wes out! He surprised us the other day by showing off how strong he is getting.

Wes' First Playdate

Wes had his first playdate today with his buddy, Ryder. They both have a ton in common... 1) Ryder's parents and Ben and I found out we were pregnant on the same day, 2) Ryder's mom and I took prenatal yoga classes together, 3) Wes and Ryder were born on the same day, 4) They both took in fluid during birth and had to spend a lot of time in the hospital nursery, and 5) they were released from the hospital on the same day. Both boys enjoyed hanging out together. I think this is the first playdate of many.

"I Love Daddy" ...and Mommy still loves cute sayings on onesies

Wes wanted to give a shout out to his pops today with his super cool "I Love Daddy" onesie.

Just Like Daddy

Last weekend we went shopping and guess what Ben found? A pair of sunglasses just like Ben's! I just couldn't wait for the moment that they both would be wearing them! The funny thing was that Wes actually didn't mind having them on. I thought for sure he would pull them off. I guess he wants to be "just like daddy" already...

Another Mommy & Me Picture

If you haven't noticed, I'm addicted to onesies with cute sayings on them. I must say that this one and his "Mommy's New Man" onesie have to be my favs. Just so Ben didn't feel left out I found a onesie out shopping today that said "I Love Daddy." Stay tuned for that pic.

Doesn't he look big in this picture? I am so sad that I only have two more weeks to stay at home with him. I can't believe how fast the last three months have gone. I better go grab some Kleenex now so that I can wipe up my tears and blow my nose.
