Mr. Personality

Wes' little personality is starting to emerge. He still jibber jabbers all the time and makes a lot of expressions. His favorite song to sing is "The Wheels on the Bus." I have a hilarious video of Wes and I singing, but I am kind of embarrassed by my lovely vocals so instead I will just show you a video of Wes telling me how it is.

Here is a video of Wes chatting. Apparently the 'girl' comment I made offended him, because he gave me a few seconds of the silent treatment. :)

Sniff Sniff

Even though today was my 6th day back at work, it was my 1st day dropping Wes off at daycare. Last week Ben was home with him and on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week our babysitter, Kristen, came to the house. I thought this nice gradual transition would make today easier. It didn't work. I feel that the act of dropping him off at daycare is like abandoning him in some weird way. I'm hoping it gets better. I've asked Ben to drop him off tomorrow... I'm hoping that will save me some tears.

Got Drool?

Do you see the drool hanging from Wes' lip? It tends to be there quite frequently these days. I usually have him wear a bib all day to keep his shirt dry. He also likes to put his fist in his mouth and then finds his thumb. I guess he may end up to be a thumb sucker, since he has decided he doesn't want anything to do with a pacifier anymore.

Surfs Up Dude

Wes loves his surfboard tummy mat. He thinks it is knarly and wants to hang ten.

Mr. Mom

Ben took the week off to hang out with Wes so that he wouldn't have to start daycare until next week (since I went back to work on Tuesday). Ben had a great time home with Wes, but said that it was really exhausting. This is how I found the boys when I got home from work after the third day.

12 Weeks

As I mentioned in the previous post, Wes likes to stand up now (with help of course.) We have now added another feature to our living room - an exersaucer. This handy dandy contraption allows mom & dad a chance to give their arms a break.

He has also added scooting around on his back to his repertoire. He totally did a 180° in his crib last night. That was a shocker. I wasn't expecting to see his feet where his head had been. He also likes to move around on his playmat as well. I guess he likes to play with the dangling toys at different angles... Once again I ask, "Where did my baby go?". :)

Twinkle Toes

If you hold Wes these days you better be prepared to hold him so that he can stand up on his feet. For about the last week and a half he throws a fit and straightens up his body if you try to have him sit with you. He would much rather stand. My arms get tired from holding him long before his legs do.

Just My Size

Wes found a kitten at his Grandpa and Grandma S.'s house last weekend that was just his size.

...much better than those two huge orange ones he lives with. :)
