Messy boy!

Wesley loves to eat, but he doesn't really like plain chicken. It needs tomato or BBQ sauce or something on it before he'll eat it.

Here he is eating chicken with BBQ sauce. Very messy!

Happy first birthday, Wesley James!

He went to the doctor on Friday (his actual birthday) and had four (!) shots and blood taken. Everything was fine and he is at 28 lbs and 33 inches - still off the charts.

We had a nice birthday party today with lots of friends and good weather. Wesley definitely enjoyed his cake (especially the icing!).

Mmm...icing.

If anyone was wondering, the camera seems to be fine! :)

Big Weekend!

We traveled to Baton Rouge for the LSU game and to meet up with Grandpop and Grandmere. We also met up with the Fortiers. Here are some pics, along with a surprise at the end!

Now for the surprise - Wesley had a haircut! Grandmama is a very good barber-ess!

Good job, Grandmama! Here I am wearing my new LSU hat - not because of the haircut!

A Day In The Park

It was a beautiful weekend in Houston. We decided to go to the park to enjoy the weather. Here are a few pictures:


Wesley playing with the giant clock


What time is it, Wesley?


Ready to slide?


Getting ready on another slide


That was fun!


Looking at a fountain...he loves water!


Can I touch?


Happy to be outside


Looking at the pond with catfish and turtles. Anybody have a Kleenex?

Walking!!

A quick video. The scene is kind of odd - my bathroom. You have to take what you can get. He's been doing the lunge/walk for a couple of days but these seem to be his first real steps.

More Videos

Here are a couple more videos of Wesley and his antics. I had a little more fun with the second one (titles, etc). Enjoy!

11 Months Old

Wesley is 11 months old this week. We think he can say 'light' now, along with 'da da', but it's hard to get repeatable results. Here are some pics:

Daddy took a new job with Chevron this week, but had to show up with a cooking injury (severed middle finger tendon). Here is the latest torture device from the physical therapist, which is worn during waking hours...please don't take offense!

The Davises were here a couple of weeks ago. Here are some pics.

10 Months Old

10 months old already? I can't believe it.


Wesley likes to look at maps just like Daddy.


Look at my new teeth!




Playing telephone with Mama

Climbing the stairs

Here is a little test - I'm posting a video of Wesley climbing the stairs. It's about a minute long and should play within the browser window when you click on 'Play'. Sorry about the mediocre quality, but that's what happens when you want it to download quickly! Let me know how it works!

Bath Time!

Wesley is so mobile these days! He can climb the stairs in about a minute and will be out of sight in the blink of an eye if you turn your head. He loves to stand up on the furniture, but most of all, he loves his baby wash bottles.


Coming upstairs for bath


Here I am!


Mmm...I love baby wash


I'm also a ham for the camera!


I love faucets too!


Where's my baby wash?


Happy boy in the bath

9 Months Old

Wesley is nine months old! Can you believe it? At his doctor visit this week he was 31 1/2 inches tall and 26 lbs 5 oz. Still off the charts! Can you say NFL?

We've been busy the past few weeks. First, Mama and Daddy spent a weekend away on the Pacific coast of Panama for their ninth anniversary. Grandmere babysat for the weekend and survived! Understandably, there are few pictures to document Wesley's time with Grandmere.

The following weekend we went Grandmama's house for lunch. Here are some pictures:


Let's see...what can I get into?


Looking like a bull with keys in his mouth

This weekend, we went to Uncle Brent and Aunt Kristy's house to swim and have lunch.

In other news, Wesley received his passport last week so he's ready for an international adventure!
