Wellbaby Check.

We went today for Wesley's 2 month well baby check (he is 10 weeks old now!)
Here is how it went down:
He cried the entire time the nurse was in the room with us. He hates to be woke up from sleeping good. I got him in a good mood before the Dr. came in (yes I say I.. I had to work at it!)
So he was all smiles when she got to us. We had quite a wait due to an emergency delivery taken place that she was needed at, but the 2 hours went by pretty fast really.
His head: 41 cent. (75%)
Length: 25' something (75%)
Weight: 12 lbs 12 oz (75%) so if you notice a pattern he is well proportioned a crossed the board. Dr M called him "SuPer baby" as she 'flew him in the air checking out his muscles. So we are still waiting for his tear duct to open, and his spitting to go away but we will just pray that natrually that corrects - quickly :)
here are few photos from this morning and maybe over the weekend? not sure which ones ill post yet :)

Isabelle is so good at making faces for the camera. I enjoyed taking these, she enjoyed making them and we enjoy looking at all her many faces. We hope you do too :)






















Here is our sweet big man. Over 9 weeks old already and look how he is growing!

A big weekend

We were exhausted after such a big weekend! Saturday eve we went to a graduation party for David K. Those photos are posted right after these (i didnt go in order) That was from 4:30ish p.m till 10:30! It was great. Got to see a lot of old faces and new faces and old faces that have grown up to make new faces :) Then the next day after church we went to TDL. The church had a get 'together there. Its always a lot of fun. Here are a few. That is all im going to say for now. I have to round up the family and get home!

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!
