Precious Moments in Life, Love, and Motherhood: May 2009

It's been a while, I've been busy. I have tons of pictures and a major update! Enjoy!!

First off, Ethan had green beans for the first time on Saturday. He absolutely HATED them. He gagged, and shuddered, and gagged, and shuddered some more!! He was hilarous!! I was only able to get about 1/3 of a jar down him before he had had enough!! We finished that jar last night, alternating a spoon of cereal and a spoon of green beans and he did much better! Today at lunch, he ate a whole jar without even a negative face!!! We have one more day of green beans, then on to 4 days of carrots!! We will work our way through the vegatables, then we will start on the fruits!!

The little fella is growing and changing more very single day. He is getting big! He loves to jabber! He has also started laughing and it is so stinking precious and infectious!! He can't laugh without making you laugh. The boys and I spent 3 days in Beeville last week, and my mom got him to laughing so hard. It was too cute. Jim got him laughing pretty good last night too! Once he gets going, he gets the hiccups, just like Wesleigh used to!!

He is still a good little sleeper. Once or twice a week he is sleeping through the night, but it is still the exception rather than the rule. He likes to be held, and he loves to smile. He puts up with just about anything his brother dishes out. My mom found Wesleigh dragging Ethan across her living room floor by his feet! Ethan was just staring up at Wesleigh like he hung the moon and the stars!!

He is a total pro at rolling from his tummy to his back, and he is just seconds from rolling from his back to his tummy!! He is gonna be a steam rollin' dude before we know it!!

Dressed and ready to go...waiting on Mama on her bed!

So strong...rolling to back.

adorable!

We recently started using our Jumperoo and our exersaucer!! It gives him more options than just the floor and the bouncy seat!

Oh, sweet, crazy, wonderful, charming Wesleigh! I LOVE that kid. He is such a mess!! His vocabulary is growing every single day. He is obsessed with "uh oh" right now! Too bad he doesn't realize that "uh oh" should ideally be reserved for accidents!! :-) He also loves the word Grandpa (my dad). Guy is another favorite of his. Tractor, bite, juice, popcorn, dog, outside, swing, down, up, poopoo, diaper, phone, brother, Ethan, Jaedyn, book, ni-night, cup, boat, bug...there are more, but I can't think of them at the moment!

He loves to play outside and cries when you make him come in. He loves to climb up the play set and try to fall off. He generally loves to eat, especially fruit and veggies. He recently got a potty chair and likes to carry it around the house!!

I am currently trying to get him enrolled in swimming lessons for the summer, but I'm not sure if that is going to happen. We will keep our fingers crossed.

Playing with daddy

climbing

almost to the top

Oh...the fit...who knows what it was about!

stinker!

one of his favorite places in the world...on daddy's shoulders

This is my porch....unfortunately this is NOT the same snake...there were 2 on the porch at the same time!!! I made Jim kill them! It guess the little grass that is finally sprouting from the seed we spread to finally have a yard, and the extensive water we have been feeding it has made our yard/porch very desirable. After I looked up the type of snake, I read that it is their breeding time...they were just looking for a cozy place to make 30-45 baby snakes!!!

Just a swingin'

He loves the teeter taughter

such a cutie

Jaedyn had a ballet recital a few weekends ago. Gran and G-Pa came in for the weekend, and enjoyed the recital. She did a wonderful job!! Enjoy the pictures of the sweet ballerina!
