More Pictures of the Cutie Baby with the Big Brown Eyes

After discovering that the Internet connection is much more stable in the bedroom, we were finally able to upload all this junk! Yeah baby! So the other week we went to the duck pond for the second time with Wesley. The first time around all he wanted to do was stare at the sky, but this time he stared at ducks. They even got pretty close, but not close enough to bite his foot off.

We had some bread so the ducks liked us. Wesley was more interested in one that was off to the side in the water.

Lately, Wesley has been discovering lots of exciting toys to pass the time. Good thing, because staring at lights all day can get pretty boring. He is really good at holding things now. His favorite toys are a bracelet, a maraca, and a ball. He also likes to hold drumsticks but doesn't get the chance very often because he tends to smack himself in the head. He loves pens so much that he tries to shove them into the back of his throat, so he doesn't get to play with them very much either. One day we were getting ready to leave the house for something and so while Amanda was off preparing to leave, I stuck a ball on Wesley. After looking at him a few minutes later, he was staring at it intently and cautiously pushing it back and forth with his hands and feet. Now he loves the ball. One time he kicked it off and started crying because he lost his ball. Other times the ball scares him. We had a video, but I forgot to upload it. Oh well, maybe next time.

Here he is with his ball.

Now his bracelet.

Now his keys! Two-handed amazingness!

This was before he started trying to kill himself with pens.

We were having a competition to see who could make the manliest shout.
Look at that goofy face.

One time he had lots of burps that he didn't want to get out. Because of those burps, he didn't want to sit down. So here he is standing up in his car seat for two minutes! He'll be walking in a few weeks.

Now for an intermission. Mandy never had pudding pops before, so we made some. Since we only have 8 molds, she wanted to put one in a cup. Luckily it made a mess all over her face.

When he's not holding toys, Wesley has discovered that he can hold his hands together. He's so good at it now that he almost never stops. We were watching Wall-E on Blu-Ray and he watched the whole time. Whenever Eve or Wall-E held their hands together, Wesley did the same thing. His first word will be "WaaaAAAlllLLLL-EEeEE."

Oh no! You caught me!


One day Wesley was taking a nap, so we decided to check up on him after a while. Here he was, just chilling out.


He's good at tummy time and sometimes holds his head up for almost a minute. Usually he's too bored to do it though and has more fun licking the blanket.

Wesley's favorite sleeping situation: as a stick. He likes to fall asleep looking at his stars with a silly smile on his face.


Now we end with some tickling excitement. He likes to be ticklish on his cheeks, but usually only if you tickle both at once.
