Easter!

Well several Easter Bunnies visited wesley this year. He is definitely spoiled.

We got him some connectable type cars, i made him some soft blocks to play with and a teething type ring. He also got a cute little easter outfit. I made him a matching tie with his dad. It was adorable.

His Grandma Thurgood got him a huge dump truck, books, a leapfrog book, and a push and ride type toy for when he is a little older.

Mrs. Gore, a family friend, got him the cutest little easter bunny, socks, and a rubber duck.

He is so loved by everyone.

Character.

Wesley's definitely has a personality. He's always doing the funniest things. He's learned to squeal. Oh the joy it is in our apartment. He's also started squishing up his face. It's hilarious. And he'll also cock his head to the side randomly. So cute.

A HALF OF A YEAR!

Mr. Wesley Kristofer,

You are now six months old. You've got a smile that melts everyones heart you meet. The old ladies at church adore you and make you talk during the middle of the meeting. The grocery store attendants always say hi and you meet them with that whole face smile of yours. It's adorable and makes me smile. Luvie (my mom) can make you laugh just by looking at you. You can watch your cousins all day long. They intrigue you like nothing else can. You love to be cuddled to sleep and sung too. As soon as I start singing you quiet right down. It's a phenomenon really, especially cause i can't sing well at all. You've become attached to a little blue blanket with a white crocheted edge that has your name embroidered on it. Sleep is something you need, twelve hours a night is now a regular thing in your crib, with lots of naps during the day. I love to cuddle you while you sleep so sweetly.

Food, you definitely love it. Anything put infront of you, you'll eat. Some new things you tried this month :
kiwi, bread, goldfish, apple juice, graham crackers, fresh squash,
macaroni and cheese.
you still love fresh bananas, and your excitement sets in when you see them.

Bath time is a favorite. Kicking your feet and splashing all over is a must each day in the bath. Sometimes you try to put your head under on your tummy and swim, but you inhale water and you cry. One day you'll learn.

You can sit up all day now if you'd like. Occasionally you'll lose balance and tumble over. You're not a big fan of that, most of the times you cry. And if you're really mad about it you'll squeeze your eyes real tight and make the most ridiculous face. Your dad and I laugh everytime. If we lay you on your stomach, you attempt to crawl. you can push those little knees under you and face plant. it's great fun.


We love you Wesley, It's been the best six months of our lives. You're the sweetest thing, and bring us much joy and laughter.

Love,
Mom and Dad

Splish Splash

Bath time! Wesley loves bath time. I did a bubble bath for the first time. He wasn't too sure about it at first but after that he started kicking and trying to pick up the bubbles. He's growing up so fast. he sits up so good by himself. And he wants to crawl so bad.

He's got the sweetest smile that lights up his whole face.

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.
