Good to be home

Cute boy slept the whole flight (except for eating of course). I wish we were as comfortable as he was on the plane. After a great 12 day trip to Utah it's nice to be home. We had so much fun and got to see lots of family. I will post pics of our trip soon!

Can't get enough..

I just cannot get enough of my little boy. It is amazing and sad how fast they grow! He is more alert now and is always looking around soaking in the new (new to him) stuff. I love his big smiles, his sweet coos, and his cute dimple. He just makes me happy. I cannot wait to go to Utah on Friday and introduce him to the rest of my family and friends!

Just looking around at Chili's

He LOVES his play mat. His dimple makes me melt!

Hanging out with Dad. Phil is actually out cold and Wes was just laying on him talking up a storm.

After his nightly bath. He loves bath time and is starting to kick in the water... it's so cute.

Trying out his winter clothes for the trip to Utah.

Movin n' Groovin

Wes wanted a little play time after getting his diaper changed at Grandma's. He is getting so strong and he totally looks like he wants to take off crawling.

Really Mom?

I took this picture the other day while Wes was sitting on Phil's lap. He looks a little annoyed like he is telling me "really mom? more pictures!?!". I also love how he is holding his rattle by his side, just in case he needs it.

2 Months

Wes had his 2 month appointment today. He had to have a few shots and was a total champ. I guess shots mixed in with a stuffy nose is a tough life for a baby. Poor guy has just wanted to cuddle all day and won't let me get anything done. Luckily I am totally willing to snuggle him all day long. Grocery shopping can wait one more day... ha-ha.

His stats:

11 lbs 4 oz- 40th percentile

23 inches long- 55th percentile

15.35" head circumference- 28th percentile

Date Night

Thanks to Phil's parents we were able to go on our first date night since having Wes. Wesley had a blast with his Grandma and Grandpa (Rosie got to go too, spoiled dog)! Phil and I went to his work Christmas party. We had a lot of fun, the food was great, and it was nice to meet a lot of Phil's co-workers. So fun having a night out with my hubby.

btw- this is my 100th post.. WOW!

Thanksgiving Break

We were lucky to have my parents in town over Thanksgiving. My mom was here for 10 days and my Dad for 5 ( he came later because of school). We had so much fun while they were in town and it was hard to jump back into reality today. The boys went shooting, hit some balls, went to several sporting good stores, saw Harry Potter, and fixed the car door. The girls did lots of shopping, ate at Lupe Tortilla, saw Rapunzel, went on walks, cooked lots of food, and enjoyed conversation. Everyone loved snuggling Wes, playing games, watching movies, and going out to dinner.

Ready for church

Sad to have them leave and can't wait to go visit them over Christmas!

Special Day

Wesley Grant was blessed today. It was such a special day. We were so glad my parents and Phil's Mom and Bob could be there to share this day with us.

Later we had a few friends over for dessert to celebrate. Unfortunately I forgot to get the camera out. Here is a picture of Wes all ready for his party.

We are so thankful for this little guy and love watching him grow every day.

6 weeks

I cannot believe my baby is already 6 weeks old. He is getting so big and changes everyday.

Lately Wes...

• LOVES bath time
• Gives us great big smiles
• Enjoys tummy time and tries to do push ups
• His head/neck are getting so strong
• Could eat all day long
• Is a great shopping buddy
• Starting to find his voice by making the cutest sounds
• Is the best cuddler
• Loves being swaddled
• Enjoys his binky
• Loves sitting in his bouncer
• Kicks and bats his toys while laying on his play mat
• Gazes into our eyes
• Loves his hands and tends to keep them close to his face

This says it all...

Don't you just LOVE this quilt? My friend Tricia made it and these 3 things describes exactly what Wes and I do all day. Man I love this little guy! I cannot believe he is 4 weeks already, slow down buddy.

Meeting Gpa and Gma Ewell

My parents flew in from Utah this weekend to meet Wesley for the first time. He loved all the snuggle time with them and they never wanted to put him down. It was so fun to see my parents with my son, I'm so glad they will be in town over Thanksgiving too! Thanks Mom and Dad for all your love and help! Here are some fun moments we captured.

His Auntie Heather made this blanket for him.

Loving his Grandpa

Starting to like his baths

So happy sitting with Grandma

No words...

Wes at 1 week old. Thanks April we love them!

2 weeks

Wes had his 2 week appointment this past Thursday. He did so good and didn't even cry when they took his blood. What a tough little boy!

His stats-

Weight: 8 lbs 4 oz and 50th percentile (born at 8 lbs 12 oz and left the hospital at 7 lbs 15 oz)

Length: 20.5 inches... wait wasn't he 21 inches at birth? Yep that's right somehow he is shrinking... His back was arching when they measured him and they didn't seem to care that he got "shorter". Should we be concerned? Maybe I will measure him to check for accuracy :)

The boys

I got out of the shower yesterday and found my boys doing this...

according to Phil Wes loves Halo already...

Can you tell Wesley is already a BYU fan?
