Happy Birthday, Wesley!

Our little man turns one today! It's hard to believe his first year is over. I spent a good portion of that year in a daze due to lack of sleep. Thank goodness he decided to consistently sleep through the night at ten months. These last few months have been really, really nice. :)

He currently has four teeth on the top and three and a half on the bottom. He hasn't met a food he doesn't like. If Ben or I are eating food in front of him he runs over and pants like a dog until we feed him some. Some of the foods that Wesley has eaten and surprisingly liked are spicy spaghetti sauce and noodles, smoked salmon, and chicken fajitas. Crazy thing... he eats all these foods, but doesn't care for apple juice???

Wesley started doing this "proper" walk. On Saturday at his birthday party he started walking with his hands behind his back. We call him Mr. Proper. I'll have to get a picture of him doing it. It is quite funny. When he isn't walking proper, he is running all over the house like a wild man.

He likes to try to whistle. Every time Ben whistles, Wes pouts his lips and pushes air in and out mimicking him. He doesn't make the whistling sound, but you can sure hear the air. Whoo, whoo, whoo!

What a joyful year it was. Ben and I have never been happier. Here's to a wonderful second year! We love you, Wesley! Happy Birthday!

Wesley's First Birthday Party: The Cake

Oo-oo-ah-ah! Wesley's One! Our little monkey had fun with his cake. He enjoyed fingerpainting with the frosting....all over the table and his face! After cake, he went right into the tub where he turned the water blue. :)

Wesley's First Birthday Party: The Presents

Wesley officially turns one this Wednesday, but we had his birthday party on Saturday. He was one lucky boy and loved opening up and playing with his presents. Thanks to everyone who came out to help us celebrate! He had so much fun!

Here Comes Trouble...

"Oooooh, what should I get into next...? Maybe I'll go empty the Tupperware lid drawers out in the kitchen again, or how 'bout I go play in the plant dirt, or perhaps I'll go try to munch on some cat food...? Choices, choices! How's a boy to decide?"

Daddy's Turn in the Pool

Ben went in the pool with Wes for his swim lessons today. I was able to sit on the sidelines and take pictures. This boy has been growing like crazy lately and I think his little Buddha belly and chubby thighs prove it. Good thing he's only got one more class, because I think he has finally outgrown his 3-6 month swimsuit that I got for him last summer. :)
