Token of Perfection

Well I haven't made a fully public comment about this until I knew for sure we had a perfect baby. The great folks at Vanderbilt confirmed it today... Our baby is PERFECT! He had two tests done today. One to make sure all his upper GI parts are where they are supposed to be, and one to make sure his cough was not a result of his reflux getting into his lungs. The underlying reason for seeing the specialist is that he has been a "spitter" from day one and at his 4 month doctor visit he had not gained enough weight to stay on a growth curve. He has always been on the lowest one but at this visit he went straight out in a flat line. So... now that we know his pipes are all clear we just have to pray for a curve! If he will just make a curve they will leave him alone and just say he is small.

Our visit was at 8:00 this morning so Wesson and I headed up to Nashville yesterday to spend the night with Aunt Ginny and Uncle Scott. Lee didn't go because they said only one person could go back with him and he knew that battle wasn't worth his breath. At the last minute last night, we went to see Cousin Leigh and Baby Will. That was a treat to hang out and play, play play. The best part to me was that Ginny posed the Kroger Salad Bar as an option for supper. It was awesome!!!

This is Aunt Ginny and Wesson ready to hit the door at 7:30 this morning. Then... Our Token of Perfection... I (and obviously Wesson) am so thankful that getting this cool itty bitty hospital gown was just a quick and minor bump in the road. We have a healthy baby that is just fine and dandy being in the 3rd percentile for his age. He is the sweetest, most hilarious baby and I am so glad he is in our lives.

Fun Times

We love the Johnny Jump Up!!!!!! He cracks me up. He doesn't last very long but thats okay considering his shoulders barely come up the top of the seat.

The Johnny Jump Up can also be called the Tommy Teether Seat. Wesson really likes to just sit there and bite on the bar.

Beautiful

What a beautiful service! Wesson's Baptism was so special. He was wide awake and wanted to take in every moment of this life event. He made all of his noises, spit up and spit his paci across the Alter at Wayne. When Wayne sprinkled him, he stared at Wayne like "you don't have any soap!" It was so wonderful. It helps that Wesson loves the water. I can't believe Lee and I Baptized a baby - our baby. Its just a beautiful thing!

Our family photo

Anna Grace loves WellWell's new digital camera and did quite the photo shoot. Obviously, I plan to get Martene to do a few 6-month pictures in the gown. For now, the amateur shots and background will have to do.

Wesson's Baptism

We will be Baptizing Wesson this Sunday, April 18th at Pulaski First United Methodist Church. The service begins at 10:30am with the Baptism being during the service. We will have lunch at our house immediately following. Everyone is welcome to stop by!

Squirm Worm

This is the latest maneuver by our little squirm worm. He gets his head turned around and gets stuck. Its pitiful. Unfortunately, he is not picking up on the fact that it hurts and he shouldn't do it again. He laughs at himself at first then starts this sound like "Mom, uh, could you help me? I think I'm stuck." He is just so funny!

First Boat Ride!!!

What a gorgeous weekend! Wesson is still not very crazy about the sunshine, but we have found several cute hats for him to sport. He had his official first boat ride on Sunday when we went to the river for his PawPaw's Birthday. It was so much fun for a little while. This is the smallest life jacket they make. Everything starts at "Up to 30 lbs" and Wesson weighs a whopping 11-11. Hopefully he'll fill it up better later on this summer. We put him in it, he threw a fit, then I put him to sleep. Thats the only way I see boat rides happening. It has to be nap time before he can handle this big cushion on his belly. Once we got back, life jacket off, and in the shade, Wesson was the happiest boy in town!

Easter Sunday

What a gorgeous Easter it was! Aunt Ginny and Uncle Scott spent the night with us to go to church on Sunday morning. WellWell and PawPaw came up to church too! Wesson was great again at church. He played with his bird and worked up a good nap just in time for Wayne's sermon. He actually slept all the way to Leigh Ann and Richard's until it was time for a few pictures. Can you believe this is our first family photo since Wesson was two weeks old? It was a beautiful day and it was great to spend time with all the cousins and Grandmother in Lawrenceburg.

Wesson was glad I remembered his hat. He still hates the sun!

Thanks Cousin Kate and Aunt Ginny. This was loads of fun. Not screaming was about the extent of the expression Wesson gave us during this little photo opp.

Cousin Will better be glad he was already preoccupied in his macho hiking contraption!

Chubby Bunny

You can't say Wesson isn't putting on a few rolls these days! Instead of taller than his monkey, this month he has gotten as WIDE as his monkey. Such a precious baby! I had to throw in the last picture because that is what he looks like most of the time these days... working those gums!

Rockin' This Hunt Thing

Wesson had his third Easter Egg Hunt of the week today. He really impressed the big kids at daycare! Take a look...

Hey Mama.... Here is one!

Yep that one. I'll take it!

Help me get a little closer. I need to check it out!

Yep. I got this. Now I just need to get it in this sweet bag Miss Cathy made me.

See! Genius! He is so ready to beat Will and Lilly on Sunday at Grandmother's. His little hat looks like a construction-grade hard hat... sad. Its really cute and he loves it. This baby is not friends with the sun at all. If could talk, he probably would have asked me for his sunglasses. I didn't think skulls and crossbones were Easter appropriate. Having so much fun with my bebe!

Wesson was a happy little bunny after all of the Easter/Palm Sunday festivities. We went to church where he was the best baby AGAIN! It was time for his lunch when we got to fellowship hall but he just couldn't eat. There was way too much going on to sit back. He sat with a complete stranger (to him, it was a family friend of ours) while we ate our lunch. We went outside just briefly to see all the eggs and children running around but it was too chilly and windy to stay out long. He finally took his bottle when that was all said and done. He napped until the hunt at the hospital started. He actually gave a few eggs away at that one. The hospital gives out prizes to all the children that participate (employees' children) by how many eggs they found. Wesson was minus a few and still got beach toys for our trip in October and a noise-making push thing. All the eggs you see are for his hunt at daycare tomorrow. I sure wish he could get formula in his eggs instead of all the candy that Mama and Daddy end up eating!

We also just found out that we are going to have a hunt at Wesson's great-grandmother's house on Sunday. That should be very fun for Cousin Lilly because she and Aunt Ginny are the only kids that can walk! Never a dull moment with Robertson grandchildren and now great-grandchildren so it should be quite the production!

Oh Peas!

Well peas are going well. The best part about introducing food is that he does it at lunch, which means five days out of the week he is with Miss Cathy! Emily was here this past weekend for all of our Easter Egg Hunts, baseball games, and new life experiences. It was all quite humorous! Thankfully Wesson had practice before I got to him. You can see here that we started out great and happy then I just wasn't fast enough so he wanted to help. By the last few bites, he was really not happy with me. We have moved on to squash this week and his little belly does not like it. We are sticking with a quarter jar until we get through this. Anyways... Enjoy our fun!

Beach Pictures!!!

Wesson is 1/3 of a year old!

Time for solids! If you didn't know, Wesson has been having a little issue with acid reflux and a cough and a little trouble gaining weight. Well we are on it now... he gained 7 oz this week!!! Thats an ounce a day like he is supposed to... Yah for CEREAL! Total stats = 11 lbs 5 oz 23" long. We are moving up this week and introducing a spoon and vegetables, which should be very entertaining for Mama and Daddy. Here is how the first spoon feeding went (lasted about 10 minutes then went for the bottle):

Thought it sounded good and wanted to help...

Then decided that it wasn't exactly so fun after all!

Got the hang of it a little bit but we really needed the high chair.

Always an adventure with ole Aunt Gigi!

1st Beach Trip at 4 months old

Wesson went to the beach this past weekend with Mama, Aunt Ginny and WellWell to see our family friend Sharri. We picked the two most gorgeous days to be there! We wore Wesson out shopping on Friday then took it easy in Seaside Saturday for lunch then on the beach that afternoon. There are lots of pictures. I just have to get them from WellWell. I will tell you that this little booger learned how to yell over the weekend. He is so busy now. I really think he is going to walk before he crawls. Its amazing. Here is a little preview:

Happy Birthday Aunt Ginny

Today is Aunt Ginny's 29th birthday... what an old lady! We have also had so much fun with her birthday being on St. Patrick's Day but this year is going to be extra special... we are going to the BEACH tomorrow!!!! I don't know what part of the trip I'm most excited about. I'm just so ready to go - even though I haven't packed a thing and I have doctor visiting for dinner tonight. YIKES!

We sent him a picture text but we forgot to make an official blog announcement for Uncle Scott's birthday. It was March 4th. Wesson wore his guitar shirt that day in his honor!

I left my camera at work yesterday so the picture is bad quality... anyways, Happy Birthday Aunt Ginny and Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone!

PLAY TIME!

Well Wesson is just growing faster than we can believe! Even though he only weighs 10-13, he is so active! He wants to stand up constantly and it is wearing Mama and Daddy out. So last night while I was trying to study and entertain Wesson standing in my lap and Lee was taking out the trash, I suggested we try the exe-saucer... even though it meant something else plastic and colorful would be in the living room. Yes, the coffee table is losing votes. He loved it! Here are he and Daddy putting it together and him enjoying it... The last picture is the "slot machine" as Lee named it. Wesson figured out immediately how I made it spin --- GIFTED!
