Another Day in Paradise

We visited Hawksnest Beach yesterday morning and Mamma and Daddy went to dinner alone while Grandmama watched Wesley. This morning, we went to Trunk Bay for a little snorkeling (only Daddy and Grandmama) and then lunch in Cruz Bay at The Lime Inn.


Everyone likes to read on vacation


Drinking sand...mmmm


Wesley loves to show off his teeth!

Part Fish?

Wesley must be part fish. There is no other explanation. He loves to swim. As soon as we put him in the water, those little legs start kicking away. He is just so happy in the pool.

On Sunday we swam a lot in our little pool. At least three times. After breakfast, we had a morning swim, lunch in town, then an afternoon swim and a before-dinner swim - the little fish was just going to stick his feet in, and then ended up sitting and splashing on the step, clothes, diaper and all.

Monday we got an early start after morning nap to the beach - Maho Bay. Wesley loved his first trip to the beach - except for getting sand & sunscreen in his eyes. But he loved playing in the sand, throwing it, splashing in the (calm) ocean, and watching the other kids play.

Relaxing after the beach - check out those two teeth!

Vacation!!

We are finally on vacation! We arrived in St John, US Virgin Islands yesterday evening after a full day of traveling from Houston via Miami and St Thomas. Grandmama will join us on Monday.


Wesley was such a good traveler. He slept from takeoff until I woke him up after landing on our first flight, then slept a good bit on our second flight.

More pictures to come! Wesley loves the pool and is ready for the beach!

Happy Mothers Day

We went to Lafayette to Cousin Emily's wedding reception this weekend. It just happened to coincide with Mothers Day. We also visited Uncle Brent and Aunt Kristie's new house on the way back into town. Grandmama was there, so we got to see both grandmas on Mothers Day!

Here's a new thing - I love the piano!

Mmm...spoon.

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!


Splish splash!


Time to dry off

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.
