The Joys of Eating

Ahhh...the joys of being able to feed yourself! Weslee loves food at least as much as I do...but he has a particular affinity for wearing food. He particularly likes to put the food in his ears, hair, and up his nose when possible. I, on the other hand, prefer for all of the food to go in my mouth. I don't like wearing food very much, which is probably why I wear an apron when I feed him. He also doesn't like the food to come off...which maybe is a good thing, since many of the things babies his age eat, turn into a thick paste that nothing but a full blown bath can remove. These particular pictures are after an episode with graham crackers, cheese and grapes. Appetizing, aren't they?

Weslee's Blessing

Weslee was blessed on December 30 in California. It was a special day because his cousin, Kyra, was also blessed. Kevin gave such a beautiful blessing. It was nice to have all of Kevin's siblings, and all of our nieces and nephews present, as well as both sets of grandparents and Teri's Sister. Several people came for Kevin's parents' mission farewell which also made the day very special. The last picture is a picture of everyone...all the siblings, all the grandkids, all the grandparents. Great day!

Sealing Weslee to Us

While we were down in California, we had the opportunity to have Weslee sealed to us...in the temple we were married in...the San Diego temple! It was so awesome...and great to have so much of the family there. Wes wore a cute little white tuxedo...although the bowtie didn't fit around his neck. Oh well. He was such a happy little guy on his big day! He smiled so much...it was so cute and echoed our own sentiments about having him as an eternal part of our family.

Weslee's First Christmas

As I'm sure you can tell, I'm a little excited about Weslee's first Christmas. These are also his 7 month pictures. He turned 8 months on Christmas day and began crawling then too. We had so much fun down in California with all of the family for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. These pictures, however, were taken at our house, with our Christmas tree right after I wrapped some presents. Weslee was mesmerized by the ribbon.
