3 Months

Wesleys personality is bigger then ever! He wants to be a part of everything that is going on. He gets very mad when he can't have a taste (or think he's tasting) what we are eating. Auntie Jean gave him his first taste of milk shake the other day at elevation burger and he couldn't get enough! Grammie and Grandpa came to visit and to take Auntie Carolyn home and Grammie got his second laugh ever out of him. We took them to the botanical gardens and Wesley LOVED it. Wes is a little sad now that Auntie Carolyn went home but he is adjusting. Today he saw a picture of her and got very excited. I will leave you with a pictures of him!

So Wesley is 11 weeks old and has become a real charmer. Everywhere we go I hear exclamations of "ohhhh baby!". Wesley loves to flash his smiles at little old ladies who then think he is the greatest. He has attached himself to a little blanket and itsthe cutest thing ever to see him snuggled up with it sleeping. Auntie Carolyn got the first laugh out of him the other day! He is going to miss her when she goes home!

Growing baby!

At his doctors appointment he weighed 11 lbs 1 oz and measured 22 inches long! He is holding steady at the 25%. He loves to stand and bounce on our laps. He also had his longest sleep ever last night falling asleep at 9 pm and not waking up till 6:15 am!

Cute Baby

Wesley has been doing great and is a happy baby who has started smiling a lot and cooing tons too. He has a doctors appointment on Wed so we will know how much he has grown!

One very good baby!

So after a few issues with Wesley health we are finally over the hill and making great progress. I was having to wake him up every two hours for feedings in the night due to the fact that he had lost a lot of weight. He is now above his birth weight and the doctor said that every 2 hours was no longer something I had to do at night. So on Thursday night I fed him and put him down at 11 pm and he slept till 4:30 am! Last night I put him down at 11 pm again and he slept till 6:30 am!!!! He is such a great sleeper I am waiting for him to turn around and stay up screaming one night. So far he is such a great baby and he has the best facial expressions.

Wesley is here!

Official Announcement:

Wesley Philip Wardrick is born.

It all went down on a thursday night, after a of cleaning and eating pesto pasta for dinner Kirstin started having intense contractions.
This wasn't too abnormal as we (she) had been having contractions for several days not so severe but still painful. at about 9pm they started to get really frequent, so we made some calls to the birthcenter, the midwives and the birth assistant and gave them the heads up that something may happen tonight....about 90min later I(david) was down stairs packing up stuff (this gets gross if you're squimish. skip to photo's below) into the car just as a precaution and :::whush!spash::: I here her "bags o water" pop and then explode into the toilet.

Wesley has the best timing in the world, the water breaks over the toilet, he comes out right before a weekend, he avoids the holiday rush, and on and on....

Now we are in hyperspeed motion in the next 30min we are in the car, I forget my wallet, I may have done 60 in a 35 zone, I might have run 2 very slow, very deserted red lights in Alexandria, I forgot my wallet and the babies but remembered everything else food, clothes, Mom etc....

The birth was really quick a few minutes of labor on a bed, maybe an hour in a tub and then a quick few hours on the bed and pop comes Wesley.
