So Many 1st

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

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

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

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

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

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.
