Happy 1st Birthday Wesley!

Wesley is such a good baby still. He sleeps 10-11 hours at night, he very rarely cries, and he is just so happy!! His smile is so sweet and he has such a mellow laid back personality. He has transitioned to whole milk without even blinking and he has not had a bottle in a few days now. He still get a little frustrated with the sippy cup but he manages just fine. He loves fruit, cheese, turkey, mashed potato, and waffles. We went to the Dr this morning and he weighs 23# 14 oz (70th perctile) and is 31.5 inches long (92th percentile)!! I always compare with Alex's measurements, while they both weighed close to 24 pounds at a year, Wes is 3 whole inches longer!!! He got a clean bill of health once again. I just had to ask the Dr on what the current recommendations are for peanut butter, he says within even the last year the recs have changed. Use to be you should wait 2-3 years even if there was a family history of peanut allergies. However, research showed that waiting this long did NOT decrease the severity or frequency of peanut allergies, so that now at 12 months it is ok to introduce to their diet. This made me smile- I LOVE peanut butter and so does everyone in our house. I hope Wes will like it just as well (of course hope he doesn't have an allergic reaction). So PB&J here we come!!! Wes asleep in his crib with Scout. I love sleeping babies!

This is where I found him one afternoon, in the dog cage and naked. No, we typically do NOT run around without our clothes on.


Monday (Memorial Day) was Wesley's birthday. Since most everyone was off of work, we decided to celebrate on his actual birthday. I had burgers and hot dogs to grill and we went to the park. I had a pavillion reserved where we ate and opened presents. Turned out to be a little hot (only 92 degrees) but with the shade noone seemed to mind too much. Wes was more interested in the wrapping paper than his actual presents.



Publix cake again-love their cakes and they always do such a great job with the decorations. I wish I had put a napkin by the cake so you could actually see how they matched it. The theme was baby Mickey Mouse.


The picture everyone wants to see - Wesley with his smash cake!! He wasn't sure what to do at first but once he got his hands into the cake he went to town!!


Happy Birthday Wesley and many more to come!!!!
