Fall

2010-11-10T20:28:00.000-08:00

Fall 2010- Can you believe it is November? I can't!!! The weather has been fantastic. I thought I was ready for it to get colder, but the closer we get, the more I change my mind!

So, as usual Weston shares his snacks with Boone. Recently Weston discovered that he can open the pantry and get a snack all by himself.

We took Weston to the pumpkin patch. He really didn't want to pose for a picture and yes- he is carrying around an empty bottle of allergy medicine.

Halloween: Lets just say that Weston was not a fan of dressing up this year. He had a puppy costume on, but he would not keep it on. Maybe I can get a better post-Halloween picture???

And like always he is busy busy playing.

Weston 14 Months

BUSY BUSY BUSY (I should have made that the title for this post)...

Weston is so full of life! I look at him and I am amazed at how quickly he is growing up. He looks like a little boy now. He is walking/running everywhere.

His favorite things are playing outside, playing (teasing) Boone, playing with doors, eating cheese and fruit, and playing with Tyler's iphone. Did I mention that he LOVES being outside. When we get him up in the morning the first thing he says is "outside". A few weeks ago we bought a playhouse for the backyard so he could play with the doors and windows. He also likes to slam the back door and yell "shut".Boone and Weston are best friends. Weston gets so mad at Boone when he doesn't want to play or when he ignores him. W loves to take the bone and run away so the dog will chase him. It is so cute and Boone is so gentle with him.

(pardon the poor quality photos from my blackberry)

And what about Tyler & myself...
Tyler is really busy with work, which is great! They have wrapped up the hotel and he is currently working on a few other projects. I will post more details later. Thankfully they have stayed busy and are continuing to grow their business.

Me: Last weekend I went to Fort Worth with my Mom & Sisters. We had a girls weekend & had a great time hanging out. I'll post pics (if/when I get them from Diane :). I have a whole list of hobbies I would like to start, but I haven't yet and my list seems to just get longer... However, one of the things on my list is to update this blog more often. So lets see how I do....

Weston's 1st Birthday!

2010-08-06T10:11:00.000-07:00

Weston's Birthday party was really fun! He was such a good sport! The theme for his party was monkey/jungle. I didn't go over board with the decorations because I didn't want to scare him.

He really didn't appreciate the cake part of the party. Well, I am partially to blame for that. I tried to put the "ceremonial" birthday hat on him and he immediately took it off. I didn't realize that "Da da" had already taken a picture, so I tried to put it back on him...not a good idea.

So, when he finally got to the cake he was not very happy. However, it was funny! He put one finger in the cake, started crying, licked his finger, stopped crying, then repeated the whole process a few times. Oh and did I mention that the icing on his cake was green and blue. My original thought was that if I was going for it with the 1st cake, I might as well go all out and go green and blue. Yeah- words of wisdom for other Moms who haven't had this fun experience yet...go for white!

So Many 1st

2010-07-21T18:55:00.000-07:00

WoW! It is amazing how many "1st" there are in 1 year. My sweet baby will be a year old tomorrow. He is getting so big!

First bath without the baby tub...he loved it. He thinks bath time is a lot of fun now. He especially likes to pull the stopper out of the drain. He loves the noise that it makes when the water drains out. Plus he loves anything that he can open & close, turn on or off, or pull apart. Is that a boy thing or what???

Weston also got his 1st haircut. His hair was getting in his eyes and the back was getting a little bit too long. He was sooo good. Tyler started off holding him, but half way through we had to switch places.

Stay tuned for all of the Birthday FUN!!!!

4th of July

2010-07-05T12:36:00.000-07:00

I must admit that this 4th of July felt very strange. It just didn't seem right with all of the rain. The park by our house is now a lake. It is actually kind of amusing! I have seen people swimming in it and floating around on blow up rafts. I have no desire to swim in the "park". All I can think about is what they must be swimming in: dog poop, duck poop, mud, trash, fish poop, dirt, dog pee, etc. You cannot see the parking lot of the pool, it is completely underwater.

So we obviously were not outside too much this weekend. Weston is learning how to walk and it wears him out. He took a nap in his crib and then promptly went back to sleep after I picked him up. Sweet boy!

Weston's Photos @ 7 Months

2010-04-01T19:35:00.000-07:00

These Photos were taken when Weston was 7 months old. Can you believe how big he is now? I am obviously a little behind on updating my blog...we have been a little busy!

In one weekend, Weston started crawling, pulling up, trying to walk, and feeding himself little puffs (cereal bites). So many milestones in such a short period of time, it was amazing! I have a feeling that this probably won't be the last time we have a weekend like this. I think this is a preview of what is to come, and frankly I am a little nervous!

Bath Time

2009-12-13T09:54:00.000-08:00

Weston loves bath time! He kicks his legs and splashes like crazy. He wiggles around so much and ends up sideways every time. He is almost too big for his little bathtub so we need to get him a bigger one.

Solid Food

2009-12-13T09:40:00.001-08:00

Since Weston is 4 months old Dr. Rogers said it is time to try solid food. So we have tried cereal and green beans and he doesn't like either one. He makes the funniest faces! He will reach for the spoon and help us put it in his mouth, but as soon as it touches his lips he shakes his head like it is the most disgusting thing in the world! We are going to try peas next and then carrots. I think he will like carrots because we let him suck on baby carrots since he is teething and he loves them. He makes the funniest noises like it is the best thing he has ever had!

Weston Is 3 Months Old!

We attempt to do tummy time, but he doesn't like it very much.

Weston @ 12 Weeks

2009-10-13T20:58:00.000-07:00

Whenever I start to talk or write about Weston the first thing that comes to mind is how fast time flies! I know in previous posts I have said that I can't believe he is a certain age...well I still feel that way, and I am sure I always will. It is so awesome to see how much he learns everyday. Every day he becomes more interactive and discovers something new.

He is trying desperately to suck on his thumbs, but he can't quite find them. Occasionally he will get one in his mouth, but then he forgets again. So most of the time he has his whole fist in his mouth and is covered in drool. He will suck on a pacifier, but not for long. I think he likes the sounds he makes when he sucks on his hand.

This week he has discovered his knees. I am anxiously waiting for him to discover his feet, so he is working his way down. When he is on his changing table he will hold on to his knees. So I know he will find his feet in no time.

Weston loves to snuggle and would prefer to be held while he sleeps.

Of course before I had Weston I said that I wasn't going to let him watch tv. However, as you can imagine there are moments when we need him to be distracted so we can do things like eat and clean. So we have let him watch a little tv. However he doesn't like cartoons very much, he would rather watch football or golf. He loves sports! As you can see below he loves to sit in his boppy on the ottoman and watch tv.

So Busy!

Weston 2 Months Old

2009-10-06T15:54:00.000-07:00

I can't believe Weston is already 2 months old!

2009-09-30T15:05:00.000-07:00

I can't believe that our sweet baby is already 2 months old! It is so amazing to see him grow and develop. He smiles all the time! Weston's smile is one of my favorite things in the world (besides Tyler's dancing)! He smiles when we make funny faces at him, whisper, talk to him, and when we ask him what he is doing. He especially likes it when I make the fish face. He also loves to talk and he even yells sometimes.

When he wakes up in the middle of the night and I am trying to put him back to sleep, he will turn his head to the side and smile the biggest smile I have ever seen. I whisper "what are you doing, you need to go to sleep" and he smiles even bigger. It is just the funniest thing, and he does it every night.

I am so thankful for my sweet baby boy and husband. I feel so blessed and lucky to have such a wonderful family!

Shopping for Baby H

2009-06-20T11:32:00.000-07:00

Today we went to Babies R Us to get more baby stuff. I never realized how much stuff we would need for the little man. Mr. Boone is not excited about all of the baby stuff!

2009-06-04T16:33:00.000-07:00

We can't wait to meet our sweet baby boy! This picture is from when he was 30 weeks.
