Wesley & Vin

Vin came over on Sunday to play some while his Mommy and Mama worked on tiling their new kitchen and bathroom. The boys had so much fun with Abby and with the pack-n-play that I set up for Vin to nap in. It was hilarious!!

Sentence Monster!

Okay, we're officially up to three sentences!! Three!!

Wesley is currently saying...

"bye, bye, Dada"

"hello, Bailey" (Jeff's sister's dog, whom we were watching last week)

&

"I know" (which is something I say to him a lot)

It's so much fun to hear him talk away! He seems to add new words to his vocabulary every day.

Wesley's 1st Sentence!

Yesterday Wesley said his first sentence. Goofy me, it took Jeff pointing it out for it to register! Wesley's first sentense was...

"bye, bye, Dada"

Ha!! Isn't that great! :)

Wesley & Mia

Wesley and I went over to Tara and Mia's house the other day and Wesley was quickly enamored of Mia's mini-coup. Tara snapped the following pictures of the kids attempts to see who was actually in the drivers seat. Too cute!!

The 30 Day Green Challenge!

It's been a goal of mine since we found out we were pregnant with Wesley to change our eating habits for the better. We have been making some minor changes that have helped but we haven't take that bigger step yet. Well, with the help of some friends, both in person (thanks Tara!) and online, I am taking that step. I've begun the 30 Day Green Challenge and Wesley and Jeff are both on board to do it with me!!

I actually went home last night and made our first green smoothie (after loading up on all kinds of fresh fruits and greens at the store yesterday). Wesley drank about 8 to 10 oz. worth! I was more concerned about Jeff's reaction to the challenge because he does NOT like spinach, which is the green I am using in our smoothies rignt now. It has such a mild flavor and you really can't taste it at all over the fruits.

Anyway, this is another step for us in the right direction of better health and better eating!

Family Trip to Galveston

We went away last weekend for an end of the summer, quick-trip family vacation to Galveston Island, Texas. Although the travel there was a bit rough (Wesley was fussy most of the way) we had a great time at the beach.



It rained for a short while on Sunday morning and resulting cloud cover was so beautiful! And we got a rainbow (below) with the moon showing just below it.

Wesley had the most fun just playing with the air conditioner in our hotel room.

We only tried taking the stroller to the beach one time. There's just no point when it take two people to move it through the sand!


Fun in the sun and sand!




Wesley got used to my sun glasses on the way home. He looks kind of like a baby spy!

Splish & Splash at the Splash Park!

Last week we went to a local splash park with friends and Wesley had THE BEST time! He obviously loves water. Enjoy!
