18 months

Happy 18 months to Wesley!!!He is getting so big he is now 25.5 lbs. and 33 1/2 inches tall. The Dr. said he is right on schedule with everything. We don't have to see the Dr. again until he is two years old. He only had to get one shot this time which was very nice. Wesley only has two more teeth to come through on the bottom before he will be finished, well at least until he gets his two year molars in.

He loves to read, he has many favorites but a few this month are Brown Bear Brown Bear What do You See? and White Rabbit's Color Book. We think his favorite color is bbuu, or blue. He know red, yellow, blue and sometimes green.

Wesley loves to be outside. He will wake up at 6 am requesting to go outside. A few things he loves to do while outside; draw with chalk on the back porch, play with bubbles, push his car, and swing.

Over the last few weeks Wesley has been picking up words like crazy. I talk to him about everything we do during the day and he will pick up or try to say at least one word. A few new words he learned this month was tea, hotdog and birthday.

We meet up with a friend of ours at an indoor playground. When we were leaving to go home I realized they had an area for the kids to paint. I have wanted to have Wesley paint a picture for a while to put up in his playroom so I put a shirt on him and let him go. He tried to eat the paint once but realized that it didn't taste so yummy. He really enjoyed painting and we hope to do it again sometime soon.
Mark and Wesley went to the park one morning and were there for only a few minutes before Wesley took a fall and slid on the concrete. He had a scratched up knee, nose, cheek and forehead.
A few days later Wes and I went to the park and he did the same thing. He scratched the other knee twice and palm. Playing in his playroom
We bought Wes a t-ball set when he turned 18 months. He loves to hit the ball and put it back on .

Looking for squirrels to chase at the park.
Over the past few months Wesley has been hitting his head on purpose on the back of his high chair so we bought him a new booster chair that straps on our dining room chair so he can eat at the table with us. I think he enjoys eating with us.

Dancing with excitement because he is outside.
One afternoon I couldn't find Wesley anywhere so I went in the kitchen and found him playing in the cabinets.
We started gymnastics this month. We have only gone once but it is every Friday for 45 minutes. He was a little over whelmed the first time we went but I am sure he will do better after we have gone a few times.

Firecracker fun

Since it is firecracker season we decided to buy some poppers for Wesley. He loves to throw them down and wait for them to pop. He laughs every time and requests another one.

Watching Mark show him how to make them pop, but not letting go of his chalk.
Just threw one down.
still not letting his chalk go...

Omniplex Museum

It has been extremely hot here for the last few weeks, so we took Wesley to the Omniplex Museum in Oklahoma City. They have several different activities for the kids to explore. Wesley enjoyed playing and running the whole morning.

Wes enjoyed pushing a button to make the hot air balloon go up and down.
Mark riding on the segway.

He enjoyed watching and listening to the trains.

Wesley doing his "Major Kong" impression...google it...

There was a gymnastics area for the kids to play on. Wesley loved running around and falling on the gym mats.

Family Pictures 2010

For Father's Day we meet Katie's brother and his girlfriend at the park to take pictures to give to Katie's dad. As soon as we arrived Wesley feel asleep so we let him sleep for a few minutes before we had our photo shoot. They turned out great but Wesley wouldn't sit still long enough to take many.

You know its summer when....

The weather is finally getting warm enough here in Oklahoma to swim and eat fruit pops outside. Since Wesley loves to be outside we spend the majority of the day outside. Mark has been home over the past few weeks so we decided to take Wes to the pool to see what he thinks. Well he wouldn't get in the pool at all. He cries when we get him close to it. We were very surprised that he cried because he loves the bath so much and he enjoyed playing in the pool last year. We bought fruit pops at the store one day to see if Wesley would eat them. He loves to get them outside but doesn't really eat them just wants to carry them around. Mark has taught him how to tip his head back so he can get the juice. He also loves to trade his fruit pop with others.

yummy!!

We bought flip flops for Wesley a few months back and he refused to wear them. So one day we decided to put them on him and just let him cry for a minute. He loves them and wears them everyday.


One night we decided to water flowerbeds before Wesley went to bed. Wesley ended up spraying himself in the face a few times but it didn't stop him from having fun.
