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.
