Two and Half Years Old!!

WOW 2 1/2 already?? Over the past few months Wesley has started talking more and more. Sometimes Mark and myself will look at each other and say he has been talking no stop for the past hour. We love this because he can communicate so much better with us.

Wesley still loves to swing and wants you to push him, higher and higher each time.

*Some of Wesley's favorite phrases are:

NO Way

No problem

One minute

O tay Momma or Daddy

*He knows every letter in the alphabet and can count to 11. He also knows a few shapes: circle, triangle, octagon, square and rectangle.

*Wesley loves to help Mark mow the grass on the riding lawn mower.

*He still loves to play outside no matter how hot it is outside.

*Wesley enjoys reading his favorite books over and over and over again.

*He also is becoming a better colorer. He use to color all over the page but now he finds a picture and colors it.
Wesley also loves to have picnics outside. We would have them more often if it wasn't over 100 degrees outside every night.

In the month of June Max and Mark had a birthday, so Wesley has been singing Happy Birthday since then. He thinks it is so fun. This is the first song that Wesley has ever sung before.

Wesley still loves to paint he finally let me paint his hand to make a hand print. I have tried several times over the past months to do this and am so glad that he will do it now. He loves to paint his arms and hands.

In June Wesley had a friend over and he started dancing and being silly, he ended up hurting his foot. Katie heard a pop and he immediately started crying. So she picked him up and moved it around it seemed to be okay, but he wouldn't walk on it at all. They next day he continued to not walk on it so we took him to the dr. They tried to get an x ray but he wouldn't stay still for that long. We decided to watch him over the weekend to see if he would walk on it before we tried x ray's again. He refused to walk on his foot and chose to scoot everywhere. He couldn't ride on the lawn mower or four wheeler with Mark and he was fine with that. On Monday Katie called dr and she wanted to get an x ray so we took him to the hospital and then meet with the pediatrician that afternoon. He didn't have a break or fracture so she wanted to get a body scan to see what it could be. Katie told him that he was going to have to go to the dr and get a shot; blood work for the body scan; and asked him if he wanted to try to walk. He decided that he would try. He walked off and on for the next few days with a limp and decided that his foot was o tay. We are so glad he is walking again and there was nothing wrong but a sprang.

We can't wait to see what he does over the next 6 months.
