NINE MONTHS!

Dear Mr. Wesley,

Yesterday was your nine month anniversary here in this world. Who knew time would fly by so fast. And this last month seems to bring huge milestones from everywhere. You've grown crazy fast and it seems like literally everyday you do something new. Lets start the monthly list.

1. First trip to the Beach!! You loved the sand and you loved to eat it.
2. Two teeth popped through those bottom gums.
3. No more baby food, now you eat what we eat, and you love to feed yourself everything.
4. You tried your first real chicken nugget from mcdonalds and you tried taco bell. you thought both were delicious.
5. we ordered you your first kids meal. grilled cheese sandwich. you ate the whole thing, fatty.
6. your favorite food is probably string cheese, green beans, and bananas.
7. you recieved your first military coin from your grandpa at his change of command. it was a sweet moment. we all laughed a little as he put it in your hand.
8. you crawled!
9. you pull up on everything.
10. you can climb up stairs. which leads too
11. first time falling down stairs. it was only two but it was still a tragedy to you. haha.
12. you said mama finally.
13. you will sign more occasionally.
14. first juice box. you can suck out of a straw like a champ.
15. saw your first live turkey. haha
16. went to your first wedding and you behaved exquisitely.
17. you became shy around people you don't know. you hide your face in the shoulder of mom or dad.
18. saw your first canon, you didn't even cry when it went off. we were proud.
19. you also saw your first firework show, and that didn't scare you either. you were quite amazed by the flying lights.
20. you can clap your hands now.
21. when you get excited you bounce up and down and flail your arms like crazy.
22. you talk in grunts. you grunt constantly and if we grunt back you will go on for a least ten minutes. you especially like to do it while you are sleeping.
23. you are in 12 month clothes but the 18 ones fit better with a little room to grow.
24. i put you on a scale last week and you are a whopping 22 pounds. we will see how much you weigh at your doctors appointment soon.
25. you went swimming in a pool for the first time. you love the water. you can splash around all day long.
26. you love to play with your ears and the hair on the back of your head. especially when you are eating. it turns out pretty messy.
27. you had your first interaction with grass. you didn't like it. here are your nine month pictures to prove it.








We love you. Can't wait to see what the next month and years hold for us. Keep growing healthy and strong little boy.

Love, Mom and Dad

Day 6 and 7

Day 6 was from a low angle. It's of Wesley. Yesterday I was snapping some nine month pictures of the little dude. I put him in the grass and he hated it. He didn't want to touch it.



Day 7 was a fruit. I snapped this picture from my sisters garden. Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable? Technically a fruit.

Day 4 and 5

Day 4 was something green.


Zucchini from my dinner. It was delicious.

Day 5 was a shot from a high angle. I decided to do wesley's awesome eyelashes.




If only my eyelashes were that long.

Day 3

Clouds was today's challenge.



Clouds of smoke.

30 Day Photography Challenge

My friend Ashley, from Ashley Ann Photography (see her link on the side), and I decided we were going to do this 30 Day photography challenge I saw on pinterest. I'll post hopefully every day or every other day. This will give us the opportunity to think out of the box and explore our cameras, settings, and new things over the next month.

Here is the challenge.




Day One: Self Portrait: I decided to include Wesley. I am not so photogenic. I set the timer and this is what i got. I thought it was a sweet picture. Oh. I love that boy.



Day Two: What I wore today. Like i said i am not photogenic in the least bit. So i decided to just take a picture of what i wore. Sandals and shirt from kohls, simple capris from target.
