Summertime

So, as we have no air conditioning, the last few days have not been very fun!  Wesley has been a trooper though, while a little fussy at the hottest point of the day it doesn't seem to bug him too much.  I wish we could take him swimming, but no sunscreen until he's six months old!  So we can go to an indoor pool, but where's the fun in that during the summer?!  This past weekend Scott was at a lan party so I spent the whole weekend alone with Wesley.  My parents and brother came over Saturday to hang out for the day, it was fun, though the heat was annoying!  I didn't get any pictures but I have some video I might get on here someday.  I swear my dad got Wesley to giggle but we can't seem to get him to do it again!  He also discovered his feet and spends a good amount of time each day just grabbing them.  Oh and Scott started his new job today!

                                                       
Play time, he's always trying to grab his toys but he hasn't quite                             figured out how to do it.

He likes to eat hands...anybody's hands.

And he just crapped out.

He rolls over all the time now, even if he doesn't really want                               to...he'll find himself on his tummy and just start crying.

Still sort of happy on his tummy...

And now I give up! 

Cutest Baby Ever.

So we were playing with Wesley with stuffed animals for the first time, he just recently started grabbing things.  He was all over the toys and of course putting them in his mouth whenever he could.  But I got some of the cutest pictures of him and just had to show you all (the last one is our favorite).

School's Out!

School is finally out and I get to spend the summer with Wesley! The end of school went well, I did find it slightly annoying to get back to work and things weren't where I left them and I had to deal with all the kids complaining, but we got to the end all in one piece! This year was different than last in that the kids actually liked me I think, haha! I had a lot of requests to sign yearbooks (none last year), got a dozen hugs and even a few gifts. And when I came to work on the last day of school there was a "We will miss you" poster on the wall of my building from some of my 8th graders. I brought Wesley with me and he had much fun staring at the goofy kids who tried everything to get him to smile. It was good fun, and since I am leaving one school to go work at another I got a bit of a farewell from the school I'm leaving. And now my summer plans include playing with Wesley, got a few doctor's appointments for him and the dog...we are going to a concert in a few weeks (Jimmy Eat World) and I have some work I have to do to complete my contract. So I won't be too bored! Oh yeah, and Wesley can roll over both ways now!! We knew he could because he'd be on his back then next time we'd look at him he'd be on his tummy, but we finally got to see it on Saturday when we were at a graduation party.

Here's Wesley with Chelsea Burnes at her HS graduation party:

And here's one of Wesley's wonderful goofy faces:

This was from Father's Day at Tim and Carla's:

Mariner's Game

We went to a Mariner's game last night with some friends and brought Wesley with us. This was his first big outing and I was a little worried about the cold but he was a trooper. Acutally he fell asleep about halfway through in my baby carrier and I just draped a blanket over us.


Yay Mariner's Game!


Mmm, hand!


At the game, the brief period of time he was awake!


Our view...we had actual seats, not bleachers.


After this he took a bottle and completely passed out, we managed to keep warm and have fun eventhough the M's totally lost :(

Back to the real world for Sarah.

So things will be changing tomorrow, I go back to work and Scott will be home with Wesley for the next 3 weeks.  I'm excited to go back to work but it will be hard to be without the baby all day, I've gotten so used to it!  So Wesley can roll both left and right from his tummy, and he is starting to push up on his elbows more.  He has also taken to sitting on our laps as it gives him a bigger view of the room.  Sometimes he gets upset because we're holding him and he just wants to sit up!

Here are some pics from the week, he is now 3 months old!

He likes to lay on the floor and kick and punch his arms all over the place.


It took me forever to actually get him to look at me while he was on his tummy, he wanted to look at everything else.


I believe he is looking at daddy in this picture.


And here it seemed like he wanted to roll over but was a bit too tired out to get very far.

Rolling Over

So we had another physical therapy appointment today. Wesley did not like it much and cried after a lot of the new exercises, which make him work on his neck much more. The physical therapist was impressed with his progress so we don't have to go in for 2 weeks. So one of Wesley's new exercises is to lay him on is back with his right arm pulled above his head then you pull his left leg over, the goal is that he will "pop" his head up before you get him mostly rolled over. Well, we were doing these exercises tonight and after a couple times I had left him propped up on his elbows on his tummy and he rolled over to his back! I thought it was just an accident so I tried it again and he did it 2 more times. We were very excited! He is still a little wobbly on holding up his head sometimes, but these exercises we've been doing with him are really helping him get stronger! It's so much fun to see him learn.

Sitting all propped up on the couch, he's slowly sitting better.


The happy little man, he smiles, coos, gurlges and now buzzes his lips all the time.


Apparently the best place to sleep: on mommy.

This isn't the best quality video, I took this with my camera but he was being too cute.  That's mommy in the background making noises and faces at Wesley.
