One year health check

Wesley had his 12 month health check this morning. I'm not sure if it was more traumatic for him or for me (ok probably for him). I felt so bad having to hold him down to get shots. He seriously screamed anytime the Dr or nurse would come near him, even if it was just to listen to his heart or measure his head. He's taking a nap now and then I'm taking him (or me..) to get frozen yogurt, hopefully that'll make things better :). 

His Stats:
Length: 29.5"- 39%
Weight: 20 lb 12 oz- 19% (grew quite a bit considering he was barely 1% at 9 months)
Head: 29%

Yesterday Wes wanted to play with his drum and the walker at the same time. I watched him do this all by himself. He walked around banging on the drum, too cute.

He loves books, especially this church one my sister Heather made him.

For his birthday we got him a new car seat and turned him around. He loves it and thinks it's so cool to see everything.

He is still incredibly goofy...

He took a quick break from destroying things so I could take his picture.


Wesley is seriously so much fun. He cracks us up all them time. 

Some other things he does:
Crawls incredible fast
Can stand up on his own 
Cruises on all the furniture- he wants to walk so bad
Still LOVES Rosie, Rosie doesn't always feel the same. She knows to steer clear of him
Gives hugs by taping his head against ours
Has this new shy phase which is really just for show when he meets new people
Gets into everything
Books it to the front door when Rosie notifies us that Phil is home from work
Has a contagious laugh
Is so cuddly, especially in the morning and before bed time
Is very ticklish
Is fearless, he will dive off of the couch head first
Is a very good eater, he'll try just about anything (except mashed potatoes, he hates those)
Dances to music and moves his head to the beat
