What a great weekend!

Saturday we went to Campbell and Presley’s birthday party.  Campbell’s theme was Thomas the Train and Presley’s was fairies.  Both were so cute!  I hope I can be crafty and throw Wesley cute parties soon!  I also hope we are in our new house by her first birthday….sigh!  Anyway, me and Scott left the party early and met up with Bryan and Kelly.  We saw Jason Aldean and Jake Owen in concert.  I think the opening act, Jake Owen, was best. But it might have something to do with his 6 month old baby dancing in the carrier her mommy was wearing.  It was the cutest thing!  She had pink head phones protecting her little ears but she was so content swaying to the music with her mom.  After Jake finished he came down off the stage and bent over to give her a sweet kiss.  Her name is Olive Pearl.  She and Wesley should be friends!  Is it sad that the only picture I took from the concert was of a baby???

Sunday was my first Mother’s Day as a mom.  It was bittersweet and wonderful all at the same time.  I had the very best mother in the world and I miss her everyday!  She would have been so in love with Wesley!  The day began with sweet snuggle time in bed with the smiling princess.  She was smiling ear to ear! Adorable.  Then my #1 husband cooked a delicious breakfast before church.  So great that I skipped lunch.  We got to see Mandy at FUMC and then Bryan and Kelly after church.  Lots of hugs and kisses for Wesley!  The two things I really wanted for Mother’s Day were a nap and a run.  I got both!  Me and Wesley took a nap together and then I went for a late afternoon run that was not quite as enjoyable but I’m getting there.  This was the third time to run in…well, a long time!  Zoe’s birthday was May 9th.  So we celebrated her birthday and Mother’s Day together with a fish fry at the house.  Again, many hugs and kisses for Wesley Kay!  This Mother’s Day turned out to be everything I could ever want!  I have the best family!  And the very best baby!!!!

I leave you with pictures from the weekend of this special baby…

 

First week at Mrs. Justi’s

Well I hate to say it but I don’t think you missed me too much this week.  You love Mrs. Justi and she loves you.  You have even made a couple of new friends.  They love to get their hands on you!  Here are some pictures she sent to me while I was working.

This is Ella and Stella.  Ella is walking and you love to watch her every move.  They are learning to be sweet to baby Wesley:)

We are so thankful that you are adjusting just fine to staying with Mrs. Justi.  She thinks you are just PRECIOUS!

Happy birthday Harper!

Harper turned 5 years old today!  He is so sweet to Wesley and I know she is going to love following him around soon enough!  He is loving playing baseball right now and is really good too!  He also loves any kind of truck so he had a mud truck/jump party at Party Central on Saturday.  All the kids had so much fun!  Harper racked up!  Even got a real bow and arrow.  He told me it would even shoot deer! 

Wesley Kay is 3 months old!

Happy birthday baby girl! You are so much fun right now and Mommy just dreads going back to work Tuesday! I feel like we are finally getting the hang of things and I'll be away from you for so long...12 hours. Ugh! (sad face, sad face) Anyway, let's talk about how wonderful you are right now. You still love the changing table and love to laugh and talk to us from there. You are still a huge fan of the piano and you even sat in your bumbo seat for the first time this weekend. You eat at least 5 ounces every 2 1/2 hours.  And I’m so glad you love bath time.   You take your last bottle of the night at 10:30 and then sleep until about 6:00 but you stay in your crib and talk yourself back to sleep until 7:00. Yay!! Let's get to the good stuff, cute pictures of you!

 

Practice makes perfect!

 

Did someone scare you???

  

Yum!  You love to chew on your fists.                            

 

Ok guys, that’s enough with the pictures!

 

 

 

“Who do I look like?”

                                                            

 

                    Maybe your Nana!

   

This is how you start the night in your crib…and this is how you are when I get you up in the morning!

 

 

Such a big girl!  Things are certainly changing!

 

We love you and can’t wait for the changes in the next three months!!!

Stretched out

This picture really shows how big you are getting!  I love it!

Playing catch-up

Wesley Kay,

You are 11 weeks old! And last week you went to see Dr. Martin.  She gave you your 2 month vaccinations.  Yikes!  But you took them better than your Mommy or Daddy!  You had no negative reactions and we are so grateful for that!  But, we have to go back in 6 weeks and do it again.  Ugh!  It’s tough growing up;)  Anyway, here are your stats: 

12lbs 3oz (72%)…yay!  

23.2in long (71%)  and your head circumference is 14.75 (9%)

Dr. Martin says you are doing great! 

Early on in your life you started napping in your crib.  Well, last night you slept all night in your crib!  Such a big girl!  You might not fair so well tonight but we’ll see.

We also had Easter since I last blogged.  You looked so sweet and were so good at church.  We went to Aunt Jane’s for lunch.  You got lots of loving there!  The Easter bunny also came to see you!  You are really going to appreciate he and Santa Claus soon!

Your Mommy also had a birthday this week!  She turned 33!  Wow!  Anyway you and her went to church and to lunch with your favorite cousins Riley and Harper.  Riley really had you talking and playing!

Do you like these pretty pink shoes?  They were your Mommy’s when she was about your size.  So glad you can wear them!  Your Daddy was fishing on Mommy’s birthday, so Nana and Papaw kept you Tuesday night while Mommy and Daddy went to dinner to celebrate her belated birthday.  The company was better than dinner!  We had a good time!  Mommy got a NICE new camera for her birthday too.  She cannot wait to learn how to use it and share wonderful pictures of you!  You keep growing and we’ll update again soon!!

Love you,

Mommy

Wesley Kay is 2 months old!

Can you believe it?!?! Happy birthday sweet baby! You really are a sweet thing and you still sleep so good. You moved up to size 1 diapers about two weeks ago and you can wear 3 month clothes comfortably. You are just the right size and feel so good in my arms! You also started smiling! You like to talk and smile on the changing table that is on the pack-n-play. You really like this spot! I hope you always like your diaper changed:) You drink 4 ounces of formula every 2 1/2-3 hours during the day. Your naps aren't very long but that's ok because you sleep so good at night. Here are some of your pictures from the last week....

 

I promise it was a good St. Patrick's Day...but it's nap time here! Look at the green dress Sandra made for Riley.  You got to borrow it!

 

 

See...10 seconds later:)

 

 

 

I love this face, even with milk on it!

 

This is how you usually sleep.

 

 

I love to see you sleep like this but it won't last long and you have a difficult time going to sleep unless your swaddled.

 

 

Rollin' in your convertible.  You love to stroll and Mommy loves to stroll you!  We are waiting on more good weather.  I hope we get some before I have to go back to work:(

 

 

See!  Here you are on the changing table.  So happy!

 

Here is one of your Easter bunny outfits.  The Easter bunny is just around the corner!

 

This is you trying so hard to talk.  You can be so friendly!
