Wes and AJ

After the birth of Avery and the big part that Wesley had in it we would joke about the bond that they would have. It was funny to see them together after the birth and how they were both very interested in eachother. It really did seem like some bond had been formed early on. Well with Aj living so far away they have not seen eachother sense then. The really strange thing is every time we get on AJ's blog or have a picture up that they sent us Wesley goes crazy. One time david was just walking by the computer and Wesley saw the picture of Aj that I was looking at and he launched himself at the computer and got really excited. So today I had the brilliant idea (or maybe not so brilliant) to call AJ and let them baby talk together. Well i put the phone on speaker phone and handed it to Wesley (it usually goes right into the mouth) and he started studying it very intensly and was listening to Avery cry a little... Then he started talking (baby talk) very soft and soothingly. After about 5 minutes I took the phone back and hung up. Wesley then proceeded to SCREAM for the next 10 minutes and could not be soothed. It was very strange and a little freaky the bond that they actually seem to have. Almost like a twin bond.

Wesley is rapidly approaching every milestone set before him. It's exciting to watch but in the back of my mind I hear every experianced parent saying; "Enjoy these days", "oh man it's great when they don't talk back" or "It passes by in a blink" . All that is true, and I'm really glad I get to see him crawl around on the floor and now he's doing the pull my self up on something and smile realy big cause I can see some much more of the world. I'm trying my best soak in the moments and the blog technology helps, and camera are awesome ...and there is no real point to this entry.

growing too fast....

Even now while I am writing I am watching Welsey crawl around on the floor... He has not mastered the hands and knees crawling but he manages to get around very fast.. Aunt Ba was commenting yesterday on how fast he has gotten. Over the last few days he has been crawling over to the 9 inch step up that we have into the living room and trying to get up.. last night he finally accomplished that and now he has taken off in that area.. he also pulled himself up on a laundry basket last night and this morning he pulled himself up on a play kitchen we have and was walking along holding onto it! I am not ready at all for this and am thinking we really need to do something about the hardwood floors in the main room that he playes in. He is still a very happy baby and does not take much at all to get him to smile. The other day while we were in line for something he got both the person in front and in back of us to talk, smile, and laugh at him. He is still a peanut and pretty small for his age.

Does he have the Charles music gene?

I am not sure if he has the gene or not but he is sure on his way to learning!

First Hair Cut

Yesterday Wesley had his first hair cut... After being thought many times that he was a girl I decided that maybe it was time for a little trim. So I took a little off the top and the sides and left most of the curls on the top... Hopefully he wont be mistaken as a girl anymore.

This is the before picture





This is the after picture (I think he is pleased with the cut!)

Visiting Family!

We had a nice weekend visiting with family and have good food and lots of fun! We had a trip to Longwood Gardens and a nice walk by a creek... also lots of ice cream (Wesleys favorite). A great time was had by all and Wesley enjoyed meeting his family from Minnesota!
