Taste of Tacoma

We went to Tast of Tacoma today and after we got our food and listened to some music we walked around the park. There was a pretty pond and the rose garden was in full bloom.

Pt. Defiance with the Fam

On Tuesday my family came over and we spent the day at the zoo. So in no particular order here is the fun that ensued!

This is from the new exhibit "Budgie Buddies" You could buy a stick with food on it for $1 and try to get one of the birds to eat it. This was the one lucky girl in the whole place that had a bird when we were in there.

Wesley and his cousin Tyler (8mo) playing with each other.

Scott attempting to hold on to Tyler.

The camels you could pay $5 to ride.

I thought this was so cute, Wesley just wanted to walk around by himself and he went to stand right next to daddy.

Some random animal walking through the zoo, I don't remember the name but they said it was similar to an ant eater.

Cousin Tyler.

Tarantula-this spider was freakin huge!

Cayleb and Wesley looking at the otters.

I believe that is an otter right next to Wesley's head.

Becky and her friend Mandy.

Some more of the gang: Scott, Mickey, the yellow shirt is Cayleb being held by his daddy and my mom is behind Scott.

Wesley checking out the sharks in the aquarium.

Last Day of School

Here are some pics from the last day of school at Chinook. I brought Wesley with me and he had a blast playing with everyone. Students: if you want to save a photo, you need to click on the photo first then left click when it comes up full sized and select "save as". Email me if it doesn't work!

A Funny Surprise

I find myself constantly amazed by what Wesley can do. I have been off for spring break and fighting a mild case of tonsillitis...so I've been very tired and Wesley picks this week to have problems sleeping. So today I get the bright idea to put some couch cushions on the floor and just try to rest while Wesley is wreaking havoc on the living room. I only half sleep, which is better than nothing, and I hear Wesley start to whimper. I look up and he has crawled up onto the cushionless couch to play and now can't figure out how to get down. He doesn't actually cry so I let him try to figure it out for himself. I don't know how much later, but I wake myself up because it's too quiet, I listen intently and all I hear is the sound of Wesley's hand on the couch..so I make myself open my eyes to see what up and this is what I see:


At first I just thought he might be getting tired until I realized he was actually asleep and what had woken me up was the sound of him almost falling over, though luckily he caught himself. So like the wonderful mom I am, I grabbed my camera to get some pictures before I moved him to safer territory :).

Time Flies!

I can't believe it's already April...I have been neglecting this site but I'm on spring break right now and have a ton of pictures to post! Wesley had his first birthday, we had a big party and he had a blast...he even threw up his cake! At his last check up he weighed in at 21 lbs and measured 29 inches. He seems to be staying steady in the 25th percentile. His growth slowed down around 9 months and we tried and tried to get him back on track but his doctor just now thinks that he hit his "genetic potential". He is getting in to everything, not walking yet but that does not stop him! He's also got a mouth full of teeth, and a horrible drool rash. He has all 8 incisors and 4 premolars, he's been getting them 2 at a time :(. In other news, he just had his 4th ear infection in the last 6 months so next week he will be getting tubes put in his ears to hopefully fix the problem. I'm a bit nervous since he will be put under, I have to keep telling myself it's a routine procedure!

Picture time, in random order:

First birthday cake...


Chillin with Aunt Becca:

Attacking Isaac, who is much bigger and can run away... :)

He loves crawling under things...

I don't even know...He likes to open his mouth really wide and yell "ahhh"...this time he also had food in his mouth (and he did it like 5 times...)

January

Wesley's first New Years, we were lazy and just went to the Olive Garden but we all made it to midnight!

He was eating some crackers...I was at the table with my computer and turned to see if he needed more food...guess not!

Sporting a new outfit and new shoes!
