Cutie Pie

Wesley is being a little trooper!  Both his front bottom teething are coming in, and boy they seem to be coming in fast!  He's been playing with them constantly, using his tongue to feel them and in the process pushing out much more slober.  He's also taken to biting his lower lip...Scott has some funny pictures taken of biting his own lower lip, something his friends love to tease him about.  So when Wesley started doing it, of course everyone thought "like father, like son!"  So I had to get some pictures.  Scott won't let me post a pic of him so the one of Wesley will have to do.

And I just love this picture, he fell asleep hugging one of those blanket rattles after he had been playing with it like crazy.

This weekend we are going to go visit my family in Ephrata, so hopefully we will have some good pictures to post and hopefully it won't be too hot!

Exciting!

So Wesley was chewing on my finger...and much to my surprise something felt a little strange...I finally got a good look:



It's a bit hard to see, but that is the very tip of a tooth! If you click on the picture I think you can see it better when it's bigger.

4th of July

Wesley had his 4th of July, only there weren't any fireworks. Apparently they are illegal in Lacey. We had a lovely bbq at Scott's parents house with some friends and had much fun playing the Wii. Wesley is doing pretty well with his cereal and will be starting a new kind soon. He loves sitting up and being held which means mommy doesn't get much done during the day. Though I love hanging out with him it means hardly any cleaning or laundry gets done, but I guess a dirty house is worth it :).

Hanging out with our friend Brion, or "Uncle Rock Star" as he likes to be called:

Rolling over, he does it so quickly!

Sitting with mommy, he's just too cute!

4 Months

Wesley is now 4 months old! I can't believe it. He had his check up today and everything is going great, he's such a good baby. He is almost 14 1/2 lbs and he is 25 inches long. He's been a little fussy from his shots but he's hanging in there. The last few weeks Wesley has been strange with is eating habits and my going going back to work is probably what messed everything up. I've been back for a week and half and we've been having a hard time getting my milk supply back up, and since he's been on mostly formula he's been eating more often because he's not getting the amount of calories he would from breastmilk. So the doctor suggested going ahead and starting him on rice cereal since he's almost hit the limit on how much milk babies should have. So we decided to give it a try tonight and I must say he really seemed to love it! And he automatically just opened up his mouth for the spoon and I think more was swallowed than came back out. It was also a lot of fun for us! We have a really great high chair that reclines so he is able to sit it in eventhough he can't sit on his own yet.

Chillin in his high chair.

After his first spoonful...not quite sure what to think!

He sometimes made a weird face, not sure if he liked the taste!

Guess he decided he didn't want to swallow that bite.

The happy boy, in between bites he'd screech and smile like crazy.  He loved being able to sit.


And some more pictures for fun..these are of him playing:
