Colorado Trip: The Wedding

What a beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple!

Colorado Trip: Playing in the Snow

The wedding was at Crooked Creek Young Life Camp, which is about an hour and a half drive up into the mountains from Denver. We arrived to the camp late Saturday and stayed in one of the cabins. The next day we had some free time before the wedding. We couldn't pass up the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful outdoors, especially since the snow was falling.

Colorado Trip: The Airport/Plane

Wesley had his first plane trip over the weekend. We headed out to Colorado for my brother, Troy's wedding. What is a Hudson trip without unfortunate mishaps? We have grown to just accept that fact. We once again spent WAY too much time at airports. Wesley was amazingly good considering his schedule was completely turned upside down. He was definitely a trooper. He did take a few naps on our flights, but there were also some restless times. We quickly learned Wes thought it was hilarious when we held him up to the air vent so his hair would blow. Whew! That little trick came in handy.

9 Month Pictures Sneak Peak

Yay! Wesley's 9 month pictures are up on Katie's blog. You can check out all of the pictures she posted by going to http://katiedewinter.blogspot.com/2009/12/wes-9-months.html. Aren't they super cute? I think the grape vineyard pics ended up pretty cool. I just wish it hadn't been so cold and windy the day we did them. We couldn't be outside very long. Wesley's poor little nose was all red.

This particular picture is one of my favorites because it has Wes' cheesy grin. Whenever he does it around Ben or I we always have to say, "It's not easy, being cheesy...".

I Think I Can...

We strategically put the baby gate at the bottom of the stairs so that the cats can sneak under it, but little Wessy can't. But that doesn't stop him from trying. Little stinker!

Reflections

I don't have any more questions as to why my windows are smeared. Wesley has been practicing his kisses. I hope he doesn't do this at daycare! ;)

Wesley's First Words!

Oh yeah! For about a week and a half now Wesley likes to call out Ma Ma Ma Ma or Da Da Da Da. He has said his first words! And boy does he like to use them. :)

Wesley and His Push Toy

This post is a week late. Wes has been a little walker for over a week now with his push toy. He loves it and he REALLY loves it when he has an audience. He definitely likes to be the center of attention. The video clip is a quick one since he conveniently walks his way into the Christmas tree. Luckily Ben was a smart guy when we were picking out the tree yesterday. He said, "I want the prickliest tree you have." It seems to work. Wes hasn't tried to mess with it much.
