Happy Birthday to Kristofer!!

Today he's 26. Seems like just last week we were bbq-ing some chicken for his birthday.

But another year has passed, and I am so glad we've been going through life together. We have so much fun all the time. We enjoy our time together so much.

During his 25th year of life we...

-had his last two semesters of COLLEGE!!
-graduated from UA! with a doulbe major
-graduated cum laude!
-became a father
-remodeled a bathroom
-added a bathroom to our house
-pulled up old carpet and refinished hardwood floors
-learned to tile
-painted a lot!
-served in the Branch Presidency in Greensboro, AL
-Sealed to me!
-Ran a 5k on Thanksgiving
-Met his niece Kenley for the First Time.
-Did an internship at Morgan Keegan
-Went to a braves game in Atlanta
-Met some new great friends
-Got a real job at CAS
-moved to Huntsville
-gave Wesley a name and blessing
-and I am sure there is tons more that I am forgetting, but here's some highlights.

It was a great year, and I am sure we'll have many more to come. Hopefully at least 84 so he'll live to be over a hundred.

I love you babe!

Night Night

Wesley as slept through the last three nights for ten hours or more!! how awesome is that!! It feels wonderful. And he wakes up in the craziest positions. I'll snap a picture one morning.

This morning when i went to get him he was sideways with his heads up against his mesh bumpers. silly kid.

Zoey

My parents have a sweet little malti-poo yorkie named Zoey. She's not a big fan of wesley man because he steals her thunder. But today she was affectionate and wesley enjoyed the kisses. Sometimes she jumps on him and he doesn't like it. Especially when he is fast asleep on the couch and she pounces on his little stomach.

Four Month Check Up

Wesley had his well baby check up today! He's growing so fast.

He's 26 1/2 inches long! 16 pounds 2 ounces. 43 1/2 head circumference!

He's in the 75% percentile for everything.

He was a champ about his shots as well.

Update

Thanksgiving- My grandparents came to town. It was the first time Wesley met them. We had time to spend with both families. It was nice. It was our first time to Huntsville since Wesley was born. He did great on the car ride. We did Thurgood family pictures, Wesley slept the whole time. My SIL Carrie got engaged! The day is May 14th. We are all excited

Graduation-Kristofer graduated from University of Alabama with a dual major in Finance and Spanish. He graduated Cum Laude!! His Brother BJ, SIL Gina, and niece Kenley came for a surprise visit. It was fun to see them and celebrate this great accomplishment for Kris!

Christmas- Wow. So fun! We were all totally spoiled. We got wii games, keyboard, clothes, and tons of other things. I can't wait wait for Wesley to be able to interact more and open his presents.

Moved- The week after Christmas we moved from Tuscaloosa to Huntsville. We moved into a two bedroom two bath apartment in Madison. It's equal time to my parents house and Kris's parents house which makes it so nice. We get to see family all the time and we love it. We were sad to leave our Branch in Greensboro we were serving in. We made great friends with the Mowry's. We get to see them this weekend for their little girl Madeline's baby blessing.

JOB- Kris was offered with the CAS which is part of the Wyle group. They do government contracting. Right now he is working in HR department. Hopefully once they get a new government contract set up he will be able to work in the Finance department.

It's been fun, and now that we have Internet i hope to update more often.

Two Months

Wesley is 2 Months old now! It's very hard to believe!! We went for his two month check up yesterday. He is 11 pounds 11 ounces! 23 and 2/4 inches long! He's in the 50 percentile for his weight and the 75th percentile for his height! He's a growing boy. A long skinny little thing like his dad. He's developed so much over the past two months. It is insane.
*He smiles and coos at you when you talk to him
*He can lay on his stomach or our chests and hold his head up really well for quite a few seconds
*He loves to be leaned up against pillows or on the couch so he can see everything around him
*His new favorite thing is to watch baby einstien videos. He loves the colors
*He loves his dad so much, as soon as his dad talks to him he breaks out in a smile.
*He is almost out of his 3 month clothes because he is so long, there is definitely room to spare around though. His pants have a hard time staying up.
*He sleeps about four to five hour stretches at night now which is nice.
*He loves bath time, and will just sit there completely relaxed, he especially loves when you pour water down his back.
*His Aunt Carrie can make him smile for minutes on end, it's hilarious.
*He definitely is a momma's boy. There are sometimes when he only wants to be held by me, and I am the only one to calm him down.
*He has celebrated Halloween and Thanksgiving. We are looking forward to Christmas
*He had his first professional pictures done this past Saturday. He slept the whole time.
*He really has a "thurgood" forehead.
*He was blessed on November 7th by Kristofer. My dad, Bennett, Tony, Kris, Matt (our branch president), Aaron and Anthony (Kris's best friends)

Here are some pictures of the past two months.

Wesley Kristofer Driggers

Baby Wesley arrived on September 29th, 2010 at 2:42 a.m. after 12 hours of labor. He was 8 lbs. and 21 inches long. Healthy, Happy, and very Handsome.

T-Minus 10 Weeks

Time is getting close. As it gets closer, I just get bigger. The doctors says this little man is about a week ahead of his due date. We'll see when he decides to make his apperance. I'm not counting on a specific date. We've decided to name him

Wesley Kristofer Driggers

We've painted his room, and that's about it for now. We're working on refinishing the hardwood floors throughout the bedrooms now. Hopefully that will be done in a week. And we're adding a second bathroom, which won't be too much longer. Once all the house stuff is done we'll start setting up this little guys room. Hopefully he doesn't decide to come early.

I'll post pictures of it all when it's ready.
