9 months old!

Well actually, he's close to 10 now, Im a bit behind... but better late than never. At his 9 month check up Wes measured 29 1/2 inches tall (90%) and 21 pounds 11 ounces (70%). The doctor was impressed with his physical development. Wes is really starting to walk well and the doctor also liked Wes' sleeping habits and that Wes puts himself to bed (so do i =)).

The last couple months have been a bit trying, our house has seemed like a revolving door of illnesses, poor little Wes battling two colds, teething (four new teeth on top), an ear infection and now the stomach flu. Kurt and I have also caught a few of these bugs. Otherwise, though, Wes is a very happy boy. He used to seem happiest at home but now gets frustrated if we don't go out and about. We are looking forward to his first Christmas and the fun of experiencing it through his eyes.

Baby Rugby and Modeling

Wasn't really sure what to call this one, Wes was just playing around having fun so I filmed it. He has this little stuffed pea that he was tossing and chasing around the room (for about 45 minutes) and at the end of this clip he decides to stop chasing and instead looks like he is posing for a photo shoot. What a goofball.

Silly Boy

After starting antibiotics for his ear infection Wes developed a very, very bad diaper rash in reaction. After trying many things I decided to try letting him air it out. I wasn't too fond of the idea of doing this inside so we went outside, but it was pretty cold so I kept a jacket and socks on him. He was pretty excited about it and promptly peed on the blanket.
