Some people complained that Wesley's post wasn't very informative. Jerks. Here's some more news about the going ons around this place. First of all, we celebrated Wesley's first Halloween. We didn't want to rot his teeth out before they even came in, so we didn't go trick-or-treating. Instead we went to the Mollers and had homemade Chinese food (courtesy of them) and pumpkin pie (courtesy of us) and watched some of Batman Returns (which can't compare with the 1960's Batman film) until Wesley was so sleepy his eyes were glued open. We also carved a pig pumpkin that showcases Amanda's amazing skills:
For lunch we had tuna spook sandwiches and worms and mud:
Not on Halloween and to celebrate the two year anniversary of our first date, we decided to try our hand at making a stuffed-crust pizza. It was pretty scrumptious if I say so myself and turned out way better than the burnt crust, salty sauce pizza I made on our first date.
In other news, it's been getting colder out so Wesley's been wearing some of his winter duds to and from school. He has trouble keeping his pants on though.
Here are the festive outfits designed to humiliate Wesley when he's older:
Halloween
Thanksgiving
Christmas Also, Wesley has become quite adept at rolling himself over. One day he was laying in the middle of the floor while I was doing homework, then when I looked a few minutes later, he was in the hallway with his blanket wrapped all around him with his toys jammed against his back. Speaking of toys, he grabs everything in sight now, especially mommy's bowl of oatmeal and cups. He's been practicing with a sippy cup for the future even. Hopefully he'll be a pro come the long ride to North Dakota. Since he's more mobile now, he also works harder to get himself comfy for sleep and at times even insists on putting himself to sleep. Here's a special slideshow of the many ways Wesley has slept since birth:
He also has learned how to throw temper tantrums. He always wants help walking around the house and tries to get to the PS3 games to pull them all over the floor, but his mean mom won't let him so he gets mad. Then when we were both eating ice cream in front of him, he tried to get Amanda's bowl and put up a big fuss when she wouldn't give it to him. He wouldn't even settle for his own empty bowl. Silly boy! So to end this massive boredom you're experiencign reading this, we have three special videos for you. The first records his very first moment playing with dominos. Last time we tried them, he completely ignored them, but not this time! He then just wanted to eat them all and make a mess, but forgot about them when he saw us eating real food.
The next video is fairly old. It was one of the first times he rolled over to his tummy. He then grabbed his mallet and played a few notes on the xylophone. Unfortunately this was with the soundless camera so you can't here his amazing skills, and most of his playing was already done. Now he mainly just tries to eat the mallet instead of play.
The last video is a special occasion from today! For the first time, he sat up all alone for over a minute. By the time we started recording, he had found a toy so he was leaning forward, but believe you me, he was sitting up nice and straight just before it!
Bye.
