Wesley is a talker. No doubt about that. He pretends to talk on the phone. He reads himself books. He just babbles his little heart out. Well he doesn't babble all the time. He has quite a few words.
Eat, juice, book, bath, teeth, no, mama, dada, mamaw for grandma, yes, uh oh, banana, apple, dog, please, Jesus, baby, movie, help, up, night night, and I am sure there are others I can't think of.
He is so sweet most of the time. Haha. He keeps me on my toes all day. It's funny when he is getting into something he knows he shouldn't be doing he says no no to himself. But it doesn't stop him. He just keeps going. He also wants to be doing everything we are doing. He likes to blow his nose on toilet paper in the morning like his dad. He likes to put on Chap stick, he walks around saying teeth until it let him brush them. He brings me books and says book and then up so I will pick him up and read to him. If he hears running water he runs to the bathroom and points to the tub and says bath. He is getting pretty good at communicating. I can tell he gets frustrated sometimes when we don't understand him still.
It is so amazing how much and how fast they learn, I am constantly in shock about the things he knows and how fast he learns something too. I try to teach him something new everyday. It's hard to keep him occupied all day because I feel like he should be constantly learning. Don't they say most people learn a good chunk of the basics by the time they are five? I have fours left!!!
Christmas Time
Wesley was spoiled as always this Christmas. I guess who isn't spoiled when you get presents from everyone. We had three Christmas's. First we opened presents at our house, next we went to Kris's Parents and celebrated there. We had church for an hour, and then we celebrated at my parents house. Our car was definitely full by the time we made it home. It was great to be able to spend time with everyone though.
My parents had their annual Christmas party on Dec. 23rd. It was nice to see friends and to have my Dad home. Wesley loves when he is home. They dance and read and play. For the party they both had on matching sweater vests. How sweet.
With all the excitement of the holidays, Wesley was tired a lot and fussy. Kris discovered that he loved to hang on his pull up bar, and it would get a few giggles before bedtime. Some things not pictured, is our trip through the botanical gardens galaxy of lights. Pictures of Kim's birthday, and Christmas at our parents. It seems i never have my camera at Kris's parents house. I guess it's cause Kim usually covers the picture taking over there.
All in all it was a great Holiday Season. I am glad it is over though, and we are back to our normal routine.
A few snapshots.
Wesley ran out of the bathroom after his bath, and climbed into his chair butt naked!!
Warming their hands by the fire at Christmas dinner at the Rogers house.
The awesome hat my Aunt knitted.
Mom and Dad. So Cute. There are a few more posts below.
Check, Check, Check
I love when I get the chance to check things off my to do list. It seems that has happened a lot lately, which is good.
A few things I have been able to check off my list is new couch cushion covers for our couch. I love the new look.
The old couch cushion covers were getting holes, I was tired of patching. I decided to try to just sew some slipcovers. And it turned out way better than expected. Plus, it only took about half a day. Now they will be easy to wash too if something gets on them.
Next project on my list was a gallery wall. I have been wanting to put one up, but we haven't had room in our apartment. After Christmas we did a little rearranging, which left me an open wall. I wanted to add a little color besides just the pictures so I made some convases with sayings on them. They were much easier than I thought they would be, and everyone keeps saying they turned out great.
Now I am going to order some new pictures for all the frames. I am going to do some of Kris's siblings families, because the last updated Driggers Family picture we have was before Kris and I got married. Needless to say it is missing a few people. So we need to add a few individual family shots so no one is left out.

Wesley Lately
Christmas post to come soon. Too many pictures to sort through.
Just after Christmas, some people from Kris's work went bowling. Wesley and I were invited along, and so Wesley learned to bowl. He thought the dragon was a little slide and not something to help get the ball down the lane.
We have also had a few play dates. Wesley's loves Alan, and we are super sad he will be moving to Korea soon. They are about three months apart, and it is so fun to watch them play together.
