Six Months Old

What a busy few days. Wesley turned six months old today. He had a good Easter and got to visit with Daddy's family in Arkansas over the weekend. He even got to meet his 13 month old cousin Harrison.

At the doctor's office today he was 21lbs 12oz and 29 1/2 inches. Off the charts, but still proportional!


Happy Half Birthday!


Sleeping on the plane to Arkansas

The hotel we stayed in had an indoor swimming pool so Wesley got to swim for the first time!


Getting excited!


Not sure about this!

Two posts in one weekend?

It's been a busy weekend. Wesley went to his first birthday party today for his friend Ella. She's one year old! Her party was at Gymboree.

Peas for Breakfast

Wesley had his first 'real' food this morning...peas!


I'm not sure about this...


I guess it's OK.

We went to Ruston last weekend to visit Grandmere and Grandpop. It was also Mama's birthday!

Playing blocks with Uncle Richard

He is very interested in drinking out of a cup lately. He really likes to drink water out of his sippy cup and is very interested when anyone drinks out of a cup around him!

Geaux Tigers!

Wesley is very excited about the Tigers' trip to the Final Four. We watched the UT vs LSU at Denee & Will's house with Wesley ready to cheer the Tigers to VICTORY! It's worth noting that this is the same t-shirt he was wearing during football season, amazingly enough!



Wesley also got a new swing this weekend. The weather was perfect for swinging and watching the cars go by! The swing is in a tree on the side yard in view of the kitchen window.

Rodeo Time + 5 Months Old!

Our internet service has been on the fritz, but we're back in business now!

Last weekend we took Wesley to the famous Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo.

In other news...everything I see has to go in my mouth!








What???

Wesley rode in his wagon for the first time this weekend!

Wesley took his first flight this past weekend to Birmingham. Here are some pictures:

Wesley is really getting good at tummy time! He even scoots a little on his stomach.


Give me that block!


Being cute is hard work!

4 Months Old

It's been a busy few weeks for Wesley James! He was christened on February 19, and he turned 4 months old on February 20.

His 4 month doctor visit was on February 23. He weighed in at 18lb 15oz and was 27 1/2in long. His doctor said he is off the charts, but proportional! She also said he can start taking some rice cereal. And, he had to get 4 shots but it wasn't as bad as last time. His nanny, Ms Joan, came along and got to meet his doctor.

Wesley's first solid food! Our camera battery was dead when we got ready to feed him, so these are captures from the video camera...sorry about the quality!

Mmm...rice cereal

I love my toys!


With Cousin Sadie - he looks almost as big as she does!

Back to work!

After 15 weeks at home with Wesley, Rebecca went back to work last week. We were very fortunate to find a nanny to take care of him during the day. She has been a nanny for 22 years and has only worked for three families during that time. Wesley and Eddie think she's great!

Here are some new pics:
