Wes's favorite song...

Ok, so Wes hasn't picked up on TV. But, HE LOVES MUSIC!!! He bobs his head and shakes his arms. It's the best. Although, Wes loves one thing on You Tube...He LOVES this video. He screams when we play it for him. He'll bob his head, swing his legs, hit the desk, and just laugh.

It is the cutest thing ever!!!

I wish I had a video of it.

Maybe he wants Will I Am's hair cut! :)

If Only...

If only bath time made everyone look this cute! :)

What a HAM!!! He loves to try to drink out of a cup. YUMMY...bath water! :)

SUPER FAN & more...

Wes is a Colts SUPER FAN!!! Being in his jammies didn't stop him from cheering on his team Two Saturday's ago...too bad it didn't help them win! Poor Colts...better luck next year! (At least the Patriots didn't make it either!!!! :))

SIDE NOTE: Look at that hair! This is what it looks like after the bath. We were at a New Year's Eve Party and a girl came up to Wes and said, "look how fine and straight his hair is, it's perfect." We had to laugh because in all reality it is no where close to being straight, fine yes, but STRAIGHT, NO! :)

Even the Superest of Fans gets tuckered out and needs his rest!

Lets be honest...he didn't make it through the 1st quarter!

Now that Wes is crawling EVERYWHERE we try to build forts to keep him in a certain area but they are not really working anymore. He's figured out how to army crawl his way through them.

Smarty pants!

And last but not least...Wes turned 9 months the end of December! I can't believe how fast he's growing and how big he's getting. He's learning new things it seems like daily and just gets happier and cuter by the day!

We count our blessing daily for having him in our lives!

New stats:

Weight: 20 lbs. 15 oz --60%

Height: 30 in --95%

Head: I can't remember but it is in the 40% range.

People keep asking if it's ok that he has a small head. The dr. said that as long as it is consistently growing that it's just fine. His head is perfectly normal for his body just in case you wondered! :)

Here are some things to know about Wes at 9 months old:

• He makes two "real" sounds: ba and eh (I keep trying for a ma ma. It's just one letter away from ba. :))
• He loves to play with little balls that he can carry in his hands. Not too small they're not choking hazards.
• His form of playing is making noise. He loves to bang two things together...it does not matter what they are.
• He eats 3 meals a day. Mostly baby food but we really give him just about anything we eat unless it's eggs, milk, or the other usual stuff you shouldn't feed a baby.
• He can pick up cereal or other small treats and put them in his mouth.
• He can crawl super fast!
• He can pull himself up on the couch and can walk along it--he's going to be walking before we know it! AAAHHHHH
• He hates to lay on his changing table. He tries to roll over or just cries. :(
• He loves to play with his cousins and the other kids at the sitters house. He gets so happy to see them.
• He will eat ANYTHING he is given. He has yet to refuse anything, lets hope this continues!
• He loves to watch cars and just anything outside. He loves walks in the stroller or backpack.
• He, for some odd reason, likes to lick the sliding glass door.
• He picks on Chase--he crawls on him, pulls his fur, and chases him. I'm pretty sure he tries to talk to him too, it's really cute.
• He still cuddles!
• He still takes 3 naps a day.
• He loves having his picture taken.
• He lights up when he sees his dad.

He's just the best little guy ever! He makes everyday better than the last.

Got 10 Minutes?

That's how long it might take to get through this post! :) I had a lot to cover, so I'll try to make very little to read and a lot to look at!

Part of my parents Christmas we took pictures of all the Grand kids

(These pics may look like it turned out but WOW!!! Being a photographer for children is HARD WORK!!!)

Wes found that the toys are just as much fun in the toy box as they are out of it!

We've a few sick weeks at our house this December and I saw this scene on more than 1 occasion. Two sickies taking a nap on the couch.

Wes has officially found and eaten his first piece of dog food! He is getting very quick and if we turn our back for a second we know where to find him...he b-lines it for Chaes's food every time! :)

Wes's Great Grammy & Grampy sent him this zebra for Christmas and he LOVES IT!!! Every time we put him down for a nap for to sleep he some how always seems to find the zebra and cuddle up with it! It is the cutest thing ever! But, honestly I would too...it's super soft.

This was at my sister house for a Christmas Eve dinner.

Then home to open Christmas P.J.'s and put the little one down to sleep.

Wes in his Christmas Jammies in front of the tree. He has truly emerged as a true cheeser!!! If there is a camera in front of him he will laugh and squeal and clap his hands over and over and over again. I probably have 10 pictures of him doing this...I couldn't stop laughing or taking pictures!

Wes and Uncle Nick being silly!

Wes and Ryan on Christmas morning. Wes really did not get Christmas AT ALL!!! Not that we thought he would be he wouldn't rip paper or anything so we basically passed around his gifts till they were all open.

Rachel, Wes' birth mom spoiled him rotten! :) Everything you see in this pic (expect the football--that was from his ever hopeful father) was from her, and more. That little dump truck came with these little balls that rattle and he LOVES THEM!!! He just holds them and shakes them, bangs them together, and holds them when he crawls. It is actually really funny--I will post a video of it soon. Over all Wes made out like a bandit in the toy department--oh, to be a kid again.

Another gift he got from "Santa" which actually turned out to be one of my FAVORITE things was the Chicco 360 Hook-on. Wes needed a new seat to sit in. Once upon a time he had a Bumbo which we loved but then a certain mom put it on the top of the car and drove off...she will remain unnamed. So, in the Hook-on/high chair battle I found this little number and have loved every second of it!

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

Wes and "St. Chase" lounging and playing.

I'm telling you point a camera at him and you'll get this reaction every time! Also, coming soon a video of what this moment actually sounds like. :)

Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year!!!

I'm not sure what 2011 could bring that could trump 2010 but I'm looking forward to finding out! :)
