The other day isabelle and I watched this squirrel all run around our front yard and porch and side walk like a crazy starving thing. Isabelle thought it was fun I thought it was alittle freaky. Those little guys can be weird!


















This little guy here looks so sweet. He is such a big man.

Here is Daddy and baby : ) Wesley looks like Chris' mini me here. Like a little small person- grown up small person :P

a few more photos

Last week we had a little 'play date' with kristy and her boys and a gal from church and her 2 little boys. The kids did real well together. It was really nice outside too! Isabelle and Trent were the only 2 that wanted to get wet.
Up at top, Dustin, Isabelle and Logan enjoying the swing :)

Happy Fathers Day :)

Happy Fathers day! We love you daddy -

Chris and his babies. Chris can get the most smiles from my babies ,.. their first smiles too! He is so calm and patient with us and loves his family. He really is the best daddy :)

Hey Mamma Pearl, this photo is for you! Chris said you hadn't seen us on here so here we are :) But really, who wants to see us when there are these sweet lil' faces to look at :)

We had just got back from a baby shower when I took this photo. I thought he looked so hansome in this outfit and loved this toothless smile :) We had a good time at the baby shower and it was just Me and Him, it was nice just the 2 of us :)

A mile stone

This week our big man hit a new mile stone. He does half turns. From his back to his side. It's pretty cute watching him try to get his momentem going. Also, He is sleeping 8 hours! wahoo. This week he did anywhere from 7 1/2 to good solid 8 hours of sleep. So nice :) Ofcourse I realize with having another child, that those 8 hours could dissapear at any given moment and change all together. I will take what I get when I get it :) So I feel like my little baby is growing up to fast! He also likes to lay on his tummy/chest on the boppy (just like his big yet tiny-ier cousin Alex) He just wont stay there very long. He scunches forward and up and over and off the pillow! its crazyness. I have video but it takes about 5 minutes so im not sure I want to post a video that long:P (I already know my blogs are leinghty no need and adding more 'bore' to the site :P)

quote of the week

Isabelle holds her baby up close to her shirt and says "Im feeding my baby, baby drinks Chocolate Milk!"

He found his hands

Or did he? Sure, he amused himself for every bit of 8 minutes with his right fist, but does he know its his fist? Will he remember that its there tomorrow? Never the less, it was a few minutes of good peace and quiet and entertainment for himself :) it was cute :) (that was yesterday)
So, Yesterday was a HUGE cousin reunion. We met at a local studio to have some fun with the cuz's. The ultimate is to get a good photo w/o anyone crying or picking their nose. I think we achieved that. 6 kids, from the age of 6 yrs to 6 weeks. It was fun :) check back in a few weeks you can see the fruit of our (Kristy, Donna, Jessica and myself) labor.

Poor little fella got a little to much sun on his face this morning. We went to the Country Days Parade. We had him in shade and we checked on him every few minutes. We used a little fan for him too if we thought he was getting warm. Anyways I guess he will just have that 'sunkissed' look for a few days. I didn't even take any photos of his 'first parade'. I do have a few photos of this past week- just keep scrolling down :)

He is working hard on his tummy time.
















He cried and cried until Chris got him in this position and he loved it. See the other below before he fell asleep :)


























Isabelle looks SO much like Chris here in these 2 photos, especially this one here on the right. I need to upload one of chris when he was this age. If you can't see it now you will then!







This is what happens with flash.















quite the poser :)















Isn't this a sweet sleeping baby :)





















We call this his fat face look :P Will that cause a complex when he grows up for him to hear this?
if not.. then check out them ears! :)

I think he is adorable!




All dressed up:
We were headed out to Wesley's 1month well baby check up

six weeks old

Our baby is growing up and old so fast! 6 weeks today. Seems these days I am not getting the time, or making the time to update here. I enjoy it and enjoy hearing you all tell me that you have been reading. Sorry for the time (s) you have stopped in and find nothing new. To bad I just can't Think about what I want to say and it just works from there. I actually have to put a little more effort :) which I don't mind, really. Right now, both my babies are asleep. this is a great time to talk about them :) its late, we are reading our bible, sure we stopped short of our scheduled reading (chronological reading) but who hasn't :) Chris just points out to me, both Isabelle and Wesley are snoring! How cute are they! So, on with the newest of news; Last week, Thursday, Wesley had his Well baby check up. he is such a big man! His weight was 10 lbs 10 oz. (he would have been 5 and half weeks old) that places him in the 50% for his age and the height was 23 something. That puts him in the 90% and his head was eh,.. lets see... he was born at 36 oh 38. That is a beautiful 75%. Ive never had a well baby visit with a head smaller than 95 (of course girls and boys are rated differently on that percent mark) any who, he is just a growing baby of love :)

So, his wee eye still waters but Dr. says it should open up before to long. We have upt his spitting med. and the Dr. did not hear an irregularity in his heart. that is great :)

Last Wednesday my cousin Christina stopped in to see us, with her b/f Nate and we had a good visit. Isabelle was totally shy and quiet. how nice! We snapped a photo of them with the the oh so sweet baby, Ill put that on soonly.
Today we made our first big travel. We headed to KY with my mom to take grandma Elsie to see her sister. Since we met at a central location it was ONLY 11 hours the poor boy and Isabelle were stuck with us in the car. Well, lunch was included in that. overall it was a nice little trip out. We didn't do to much exciting - just rode along. A few extra stops for feedings, poopies and potty breaks (Isabelle decides she wants to use the bathrooms today which makes for a difficult travel) and back home. so what in the world am I still doing up!? its before 10:30 pm and everyone is sleeping, I must too!

My precious sweets sleeping like a baby :) He loves to sleep with his arms under his chin. When he is free from his swaddle anyways :)

Chris had him cuddled up next to him on the couch this week in this photo. He was so sleepy his little eyes could hardly take it.

Isabelle brought flowers into me Saturday morning to put on the table before friends came over. She was so excited to participate in flower picking :)

Awww

She cracks me up! She brought over this bouncer, and placed her baby inside next to Wesley. She is a very good mommy.

Chris and Boo' playing with bubbles. It was so much fun. You don't even have to blow! The bubble fan does that for you and produces mass quantity of bubbles! She got this bubble blower from a gal at Chris' work as a shower present to her.

See, she is a good mother. Using her own "boppy" version to feed her baby. (its actually a neck pillow) she cracks me up!

Hot, Sunday afternoon. I'm working on editing some photos here are my parents. Dad is holding my sweets. I hear mom yell in at me,.. We think he is smiling! Yes, Yes he is! He is smiling and trying to talk to grandpa- Where is your camera!? lol of course today I did not bring my camera with me. I almost ALWAYS have one of my 2 ole' trusty's with me. Not today of course. But that is an image that will stick in my parents mind for a few good days anyways, even if you can't be apart of it.. Then I hear him fussing. He fussed a good 3 or 5 minutes. Now, he currently is quiet so Dad must have burped him, or put him on his shoulder or rocked a little harder in his chair (I do hear it squeeking a bit more- GO dad!) One minute its all smiles and coo's and the next its screaming terriers! It's all up and down with a new born. Oh wait, that up and down emotions NEVER go away.. do they!? I have a 28 month old crying on my lap even as i type.. yeah im pretty sure the mood swings never go away
Isn't it precious anyways :)

Lots of catching up

So, its been days and days since I wrote. This blog isn't just for you all- I can't keep days and times and everything else straight yet. I am so confused about when this or that took place, so if I at least update this it will help keep my mind refreshed! Its awful... anyways

LAST WEEK: Wesley smiled at Chris. No, don't blame it on gas or a reflex, it was a real genuine precious little smile. Chris also got Isabelle's 1st smile too! I do all this work of a rough pregnancy and deliver these babies all for them to smile at chris.. Humf. Just kidding its wonderful!
Chris kept asking later that week "Has he smiled at you yet!?" with great sarcasm. He indeed smiled at me, but it was the week sooner and I just can't take that one serious.

also, last week (the 3rd week of his beautiful life) I had Wesley in his car seat.. He had been snoozing in there a few minutes while I took care of some other business and came back to him. I reached down into his seat to buckle him and startled the poor little guy! He threw both arms way up high- like making good on a field Goal. I felt bad I scared the jeabers out of him but it was sooo cute. His face made no expression as he continued 'sleeping' but his poor arms really went'a fly'n. Seconds later the phone rang, I left him and came back. As much as I enjoyed watching his arms flail and w/o any facial expression I didn't want to scare him again so I gentle touched his face and chest- make sure he knew of my presence, I couldn't help but sneeze.. 3 times. There went the arms again, Straight up and out away from his little body. Poor little guy it was SO cute.

This week:
He rolled over. From his belly to his back. Granted, he wont be able to do it again willfully until about 3 more months it was like my little boy was growing up right before me. he is so strong.
Baby Wesley was 4 weeks old this week,.. a month old Yesterday. I can't believe how quickly this month has went. Boy, a month when I was pregnant went by forever but this has just really flown. Partly why I am having a hard time keeping up with dates and what- not. It has to slow down just a bit, if for nothing else so I can hold my baby a little more before he is to big. I believe he has MOSTLY lost his newborn look and is getting so big already (altho a few of my friends keep saying He looks so small still) I can tell he is growing and getting longer. We are sleeping alright so I'm not in a hurry for him to grow up to quickly just for sleep. I sure can't imagine life back with out him. Isabelle says he is precious. She also prayed last night for supper, and mentioned in her prayer "Be with baby Wesley, and kicking in his bouncer" - Yeah, he happened to be in his bouncer all kicking and working out his biceps while we were about to eat- so of course Isabelle had to mention that to Jesus- she is to much sometimes! :)
