Far From a Feltman

WellWell had a hard time this morning with the blue jeans and boots. Wesson told me he wanted to wear it because Daddy was wearing jeans and boots today too. He was loving it! I sat him on the bed for a second this morning and the remote was beside him. He grabs anything near his little hands so this is what I got...

He was being so funny this morning (as usual) so I took a few "its Friday" seconds to snap some pictures....

Hanging Out With Daddy

Wesson was loving playtime with his Daddy (as he always does). But, lately he has really started liking sitting up in the recliner with Daddy to watch TV. Here they are last night having a good conversation. Yes, I know... always wearing a bib!

My Little Ham

Wesson was being a little ham this morning so I decided to snap a few pictures with his monkey since he is a big 3-month old now. He thought is was so funny to fall the other direction after I set him up against the monkey.... more and more like his Mama! I know the last picture is blurry but he is majorly cheesing. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday John Parker Herd!

I guess it was just a weekend of birthdays! John Parker turned 9 today so his birthday party was yesterday on a oh-so beautiful day to be outside. Wesson has not seen a whole lot of sunshine since November so kept his eyes closed most of the time. Since he was over his belly ache, WellWell decided to sneak Wesson a taste of ice cream. I think he liked it, probably because it was cold.

Happy Birthday Mimi!

Wesson's Mimi had her birthday on the 12th so we went to Scottsboro to visit. Since Wesson decided to greet them with a 24-hour belly ache, we ended up staying until Sunday morning. He was feeling much better and showered them with smiles and personality.

Sweet Finger... aaahhhhh!

He is my child after all! For those of you who have known me my entire life, you know this is the Sweet Finger. To catch everyone else up... I enjoyed chewing/sucking my "sweet finger" (as everyone called since it looked like it tasted that good) instead of my thumb when I was little. Lately, when the paci comes out, the finger goes in! Now I will have to say its not all the time. He does talk to us A LOT, but there are times when he just wants to look around and chew on his finger. The problem is that sometimes he gets his thumb caught in his mouth with the finger and it gets to be too much and he chokes himself. Its actually really cute when he realizes what he has done. The future problem... braces! I'm just going to put my money to the side now! Luckily though, I only had four braces on the front in the 3rd grade and that was it. Last thing... don't know if you can tell, but he is getting a little more peach fuzz on his head!

Wesson Got a Little Snow!

We woke up to a little snow this morning! It was so pretty because the sun was shinging. It has been hiding from us for some time now. Enjoy!

Our Little Valentine

Our little Valentine had fun at his first school party. Here are some of the pictures!

Prayer Shawl

What a wonderful Valentine's present! "Aunt Katie's" mom, Becky Yarbrough, made Wesson and I a HUGE Prayer Shawl. This shawl is more like a blanket... and so soft. She started knitting some time while I was pregnant and prayed and thought of us throughout this wonderful time in our lives. Thanks so much for this!

Loving the water...

I don't know what we're going to do when its time to swim in a real pool. I guess we'll have to warm the water before we put him in it. He LOVES to soak! After the initial shock and a little paci time, he is good to go. There is no telling how long he would hang out like this!

Going to WellWell's House

Wesson took a little trip to his WellWell and PawPaw's house Saturday night and had lots of fun playing on Sunday morning with the new camera.

Poor thing had a little bout with going #2 yesterday so I had to have a picture of how hard he was working!

Then, it was a little tough getting home this morning! This is the highway from Rogersville to Pulaski. It was like this from WellWell's house to Anthony Hill. Of course, Pulaski was blank - nothing at all. Minor Hill was white though. I can't remember the last time Giles Co. roads weren't salted and brined 3" deep.

First Artwork

As you can imagine, Wesson has several girlfriends at school. I know he is gifted, but I'm guessing he had a little help with his first artwork. You are going to be seeing a lot of the Bumbo from now on. He loves being up so he can look at everything. Anyways... Here he is with his first piece of art. Of course, when I went to snap his picture he spit up on it. I like to think of that as his signature!

My Little Snow Man

He had on so many clothes that it made him fit in his Bumbo. Wesson doesn't really like the sun, and he definitely did like the bright white snow. He would not eyes at all!

Growing!

Drum roll please...... Wesson now weighs 9 whole pounds!!! Thats up 6 oz in 8 days from when he had a cold and couldn't get his shots. BTW - I think he knew he could get out of it if he was sick! But, he got the shots Friday during the BLIZZARD that came through Pulaski. We went into the doctor's office at 10:45 and it was snowing. We came out at 11:45 and the roads were covered! It took us an hour to go through the Burger King drive-thru, in Walgreens and home. Of course it didn't help that everyone got off work at noon because of the weather... even LEE! Enough of that here are the pictures from the week or so...

When we go shopping with Aunt Ginny, we seem to come home with a theme of items. Scott plays the guitar....We have a guitar shirt. He has one Aunt and we have a "My Auntie Is the Best" shirt. Aunt Ginny loves frogs... we have a whole wordrobe of frogs!

Doesn't he look like he is playing the guitar in this picture?!?!

Anna Grace came and played with us for a while. She is goingt to be an awesome babysitter!!!

Saw some other folks trying out the Bumbo so I thought we should too. "Mama, not quite ready. Could you hold my head up for me for a while longer????"

This is first time Wesson really ever sat and watched TV for a while. He was cheering on the Penguins, so he had to wear his Penguins gear!

What Cold???

Can you believe Wesson is two months old?!?! Poor thing has a cold too. Its so pitiful when he gets to coughing and wheezing. Thankfully his personality remains! I finally got him doing several of his faces while we were taking his monkey pictures. Please notice that he has on his workout outfit for this rainy Wednesday.

We Wuv Wesson!

Wesson has had a big week! Here are some of his firsts...

First girlfriend...I mean babysitter!

First trip in his umbrella stroller out to help Daddy in the yard.
First workday with Daddy in their overalls!
AND... FIRST COWBOY BOOTS!!!

Also this week, Sharri came through Pulaski on her way to her 3-month beach stay so she HAD to see Wesson. We tried to sneek in the car with her but Daddy pulled us out. I think we are going to get to go in March though!

Well these are in no particular order because honestly it drives me insane trying to move pictures around in this things. So....

This is Wesson's last day on milk-based formula. Bless his heart! Thanks Aunt Ginny for the "I'm having a meltdown" shirt. Miss Cathy loved it... especially since he cried the whole day.
Baths are getting more fun these days. Washing is not his favorite, but this boy loves relaxing is his "pool" with his pacifier!

This is Wesson's week 7 picture with his monkey. Not a lot of change his week 6 but under those ducks are some growing feet!

Wesson's number one hobby is playing with his Daddy! They were talking about how their days were, which they do every night. Wesson still loves the ABC song on his CD player. You can tell he is starting to realize he has heard it before and gets excited when he hears it. Loving this!

This goes back to last Monday... his first day of school. He gets a report card every day so I snapped a picture of him with the first one. They tell us every diaper and "what" was in it, when he slept and what his mood was like. He is quite popular, I will say. Josie Curry likes him a lot. She is always so excited when he gets to school (yes, he is the last one there everyday).

Fianlly, this is from last Saturday. Well Well practiced with her awesome new digital camera. He is 7 weeks and 1 day old here...

Big Boy!

Its time to get ready for daycare! Wesson is a whole six weeks old and going to daycare tomorrow. Unfortunatley, that means I have to go to work. We have played all day on our last day of maternity leave. Its been fun!
Wesson is looking at everything these days so I put all his toys around him. Its so fun to see him stare at the colors and try to grab everything.

Of course, Wesson had to have a bath before his first day of school. We used the portable bath tub and it went over well. Just one problem... how do you rinse??? So in the sink we went. He actually liked it a lot. The water pouring on him was calming...

All of the pictures from this week are on Shutterfly!!!
