Driving...

Today I was in the car stopped at a stop light and I heard Wesley making a noise. I thought maybe he was trying to get my attention so i looked back at the mirror that we have to see him and he was pushing up in his car saet as far as the belt would allow and looking out his window. I looked through his wondow to see a truck full of men leaning out thier windows and waving at him. It was a pretty funny sight to see and he was pretty happy to have gotten thier attention.

Labor day weekend...

Wesley, Carolyn and I went with my friend Jean to her sister big Labor day BBQ. The weather was perfect and the food was awesome. Wesley enjoyed playing with the puppy and with all of Jean's nephews. He LOVED playing on the trampoline and was perfectly happy to hangout with the boys. He took a short nap on the way there in the morning and he did not fall back asleep till around 6. He was very hot with me holding him and there was not really any place safe to lay him down so we improvised and put him in the dogs crate where we all were sitting and he had a very peaceful and relaxing nap.

9 Month Check Up

So our little peanut at 9 months weighs 17 lbs 2 oz which puts him in the 7th (yes I wrote that right) percentile for weight and he is 28 inches long which puts him in the 50th percentile for height. I guess I have something else to argue that he has inherited from me. I was always a long skinny baby! He is hitting all the milestones on time and is a very active boy.

One crazy day!

On Sat. we drove to Baltimore and picked up my brother and then headed to the beach in Annapolis to hang out for a while. Wesley LOVED the beach. He spent a long time in the water floating around and having a great time. Then he went for a walk with Daddy and then came back and spent a long time playing in the sand. He was a very sleepy boy when we left. We then headed into Baltimore to eat dinner and walk around. After that we went the the aquarium and spent some time in there looking at all the sea creatures that they had. Wesley was very into the stingray display that they had and spent a lot of time looking and pointing and waving at them. He also was very vocal and would scream (with joy) when one would swim towards him. It was a very long and busy day but so much fun. Wesley was in a great mood the whole day dispite his lack of sleeping.

David or Kirstin?

Who do you think Wesley looks like??
David???





















or Kirstin???

I think there is no arguing who he looks like. He is a Daddys boy all the way...




But I think I can argue for the following pictures that he does contain a lot of my personality!

Tooth #2!

So this week we have seen a couple of firsts.. starting Wed night he cut his second tooth. Yesterday he started clapping. Today Aunt Carolyn taught him "cheers" with his play cups. Last Friday he climbed a set of stairs all by himself! Lots and lots of new things!
