Frederick Meijer Gardens

While the Daddies went off to play golf last weekend, Wes and I went up to Grand Rapids to hang with Renee and Camryn Kolzow. We had lots of fun and even got the chance to spend the day at the Frederick Meijer Gardens.

Beach Boy

We went to the beach on Sunday. Wesley loves Lake Michigan beach way more than Myrtle Beach. Whew! That makes things much more convenient, since it is just a 10 minute drive away.

Steal of a Deal

Only $2? I'll take him!

Wesley knows all about stickers. He gets one after every tumbling and baby music class and proudly slaps it on his shirt. So I guess I shouldn't be surprised that while I was cleaning up from our garage sale, he found a sticker and tagged himself. I couldn't control my laughter after seeing what he'd done. I think he considerably undervalued himself...

That's Our Boy!

Wesley must have noticed that his daddy and I always put our cups on coasters, because he has started to put his sippy cups on them when he is done. As you can see, he also likes to put the coasters in his mouth... :)

Bathtub Funnies

Besides making funny faces in the bathtub, Wesley now likes to lay down on his belly to "swim." He'll even blow bubbles. Funny how we couldn't get him to blow bubbles back during swim lessons a few months ago.

Wesley's 15 Month Stats

Wesley is already 15 months old! He weighs 20 lbs., 8 oz. (5th percentile) and 32 inches in length (75th percentile). He's still tall and skinny, but healthy. :)

He can say Daddy, Mama, uh oh, dah (dog), kitty, hi, tree, bite, hot, and lots of animal noises. His favorite past times are climbing on things, chasing the cats around, swimming, riding in his Cozy Coupe, and hanging with his neighbor buddies. He cut his first molar while we were on vacation two weeks ago and the other molars are well on their way. He's a happy little guy who also makes his mommy & daddy very happy.

Good Times

We are now officially home, but I had to share the last bunch of vacation pictures...

"A dog... I see a dog. I better go run over and try to pet him."

"Look Mom! I found this really cool big rock!"

"The ocean may be a little scary, but its mud is really cool."

"Oh mud, mud, mud."

"Um... I know you think this big fish is cool, but I don't think I want to stand by him anymore."

"I can't believe my parents waited until the last day to actually put me in a big adult pool. I like this 'not touch bottom' thing. I soooo want them to just let me go. I think I am a big boy and can swim just like them no matter what they think. Geez... What am I, like 15 months old?"

"Even though my Mommy & Daddy wouldn't let go of me in the big pool like I wanted, I still think they are the coolest ever."

"Bye Bye water. Maybe I will play in you the next time I see you!"

More Vacation Pics

Wes is a fan of the lazy river. We make sure to hit it everyday now for him. We've also found that he like to pick up shells. He takes after his mommy... His mommy always tends to walk with her head down looking for shells or rocks too.
