Wes - 4 months old

It is hard to believe that as of last week, Wes is already 4 months old. He is such a laid back, easy going baby. He sleeps on average 11 hours a night. He really only fusses when he is hungry or occassionally when he needs a diaper change. His latest thing is in the evening when he is sleepy and wants to be left alone he will fuss. I was trying to read him a book the other night and he wasn't having anything to do with it. I put him in bed and he was out. Today he was actually having an off day. Not sure why. He has been drooling a bit more and constantly chewing on his fist or anything else he can get in his mouth. I would say that there is a possibility that he could be getting a tooth, however I remember saything that with Alex and that kid didn't get a tooth for months. So who knows. It didn't help that we went to the doctor today for his checkup and he got 2 shots. So here are his stats: Wt. 16 pounds 5 oz (75th percentile), Ht. 26.25 inches (90th percentile), and head circumfrence 16 inches (50th percentile). Doctor gave him a clean bill of health. He was so funny too, he loved looking at himself in the mirror in the room and really enjoyed grabbing and kicking the paper on the table.
Here he is at Marisa's soccer game in Louisville, KY last weekend. He is so sweet!

Destin 2010

This August we went on our traditional family vacay to Destin FL. As usual, we found ourselves by the pool a LOT! Maybe even more so with baby Wes. This year, we actually didn't stay exactly in Destin, but about 15 minutes away at Blue Mountain Beach. It was a little off of the beaten path, but you could still get to all of the favorite restaurants and outlet mall within 15-20 minutes. The house we rented was awesome ane HUGE! At times, it was actual work to find someone inside the place. Aunt Bethie was able to join us this year as well as all of the dogs. Never a dull moment. Here are a few pictures from the trip. Wes enjoyed the pool some and was still only 8 weeks old so napping a lot was in his schedule. However, the week before we left for the trip he started sleeping through the night!!! So while in Florida it was nice to get some extra much needed sleep. I even read a book and got some runs in.

The family pic - this was the best one I could get of Alex. He was just so eager to get back to swimming. He actually learned how to swim on this trip! He abondonded his swim ring and just took to the water. The kid has NO fear!



Baby Wes!

The kiddos!

Overall, the trip was great. I always look forward to this trip every year. Usually I start counting down the months starting in about February. Can't wait til next year!!
