I still get a little emotional when I see Clint with his son. Clint is such a wonderful dad and loves our little boy SOOO much. Weston loves him like crazy too. I wish you could see his face and hear the happy noises he makes every time he sees him! We have waited for what feels like forever to start a family and now that we have it's just surreal.

Sweet Success

Here are the first videos we captured of Weston rolling over. Now that he's mastered it he has boycotted tummy time.

Portraits

Giggles...

10 weeks old!

Here are the latest silly little faces Weston is making. When he smiles, he curls his upper lip and coo's- it melts my heart! Everyday day he does something new and it makes me fall in love with him all over again.

He isn't a big fan of tummy time so I surround him with toys to distract him. It works for about 10 minutes then he realizes he doesn't like it.

He LOVES this bouncy seat! It's the cheapest thing I own ($25!). Take note, he has nothing to do with his luxury Graco sweat pea newborn soothing center with motion, touch, sound, site and scent features :/ Anyways, It vibrates and has these little toys dangling from them. I think he thinks that if he stares at the toys hard enough they will move on their own. We haven't learned how to hit them yet, but we're working on it, haha.

more concentrated staring...

The sweetest smile I love, this is what I wake up to every morning.

What a week! We were thrilled because My sister and her family came in town to visit. The three of us sisters woke up early Saturday morning ready to shop. Each with a baby in hand, we found ourselves sitting in the Target dressing room floor catching up. No matter where we are, we always find somewhere to lounge and visit, haha.

Later that day, we went to our friends Nate and Bridgett's house to celebrate their son's 3rd birthday. Chance is really into John Deer Tractors right now so everything from napkins to presents were tractor themed. He was so excited when he walked into the garage and saw his first motorized car.

Chance and Jacob, ready to go (the batteries were charging so they just sat there waiting, it was so cute!)

Chandler getting her dance on... any sort of music, I mean ANY kind of beat (even a cell phone ring) and she throws her hands in the air and starts this crazy combo of ghetto booty dancing along with these wierd robot moves.

Best friends

Here's a group pics of all of us: (minus Cody and Matt) Clint, me, Weston, Lauren, Taylor, Cassie, Chandler, Bridgett, Jacob, Chance and Nate.

2 month check-up

We went to our two-month checkup Monday and it was all good news! Weston is a happy healthy baby :)

…and speaking of healthy. Yes, he is eating WELL! Here are the latest stats:

Weight: 13 lbs. 11 oz.
Length: 23 3/4 inches

The Dr. said it's obvious he's breastfeeding, he's just exploding! He said he’s very healthy and is in the 90th percentile in both height and weight. He’s not too chubbs though since he’s growing a lot in length too; it’s proportional.

He also got his shots ( DTaP, Hib, Polio (IPV), Pneumoccoal (PCV), Rotavirus). I am kind of on the fence with Wes getting a lot of shots at once since they have been linked to Autism. I've been reading a lot about Dr. Bocks methods. He is a DAN doctor. He is not anti-vaccination but has a delayed schedule that I like quite a bit. I will probably delay his MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) shots since these are the 3 that are most likely linked to Autism.

Dr. Albrecht was asking about milestones for two month old and asked if he was smiling and cooing. I said, “oh yeah.” A minute later, he laid him on the table to check his stuffy nose and, sure enough, Weston smiled really big and cooed at him the whole time. Such a happy little guy. It made me feel good when he said, “You’re doing a really great job with him.” before he left the room.

...and we're sleeping! The past few nights, Weston has slept 6-7.5 hour stretches. I think we’ve turned the leaf! Woo hoo! He usually goes to bed around 7:30 which is nice because Clint and I can have some alone time (I can't wait for it, actually!). He'll usually wake up around 3ish to nurse and then he'll sleep until 6 or so.

WOW.

I think Senator Orin Hatch said it best last night when he told a reporter (just before it was confirmed Obama would be our president), "I like Senator Obama. I think he's charismatic and articulate....but he's also very young and very inexperienced and that worries me a little." I'll admit, that worries me a lot. And according to polls last night, it also worries 42% of Americans. All I can do now is hope the best for him as our President. I usually don't talk about political stuff (even though I have a strong opinion about who I'd like as President) but I couldn't stop thinking about this last night. Athough I'm not happy about the results, thank goodness this election is over! I'm so sick of hearing about change and policy's I don't agree with. Things are about to get interesting in the White House, and like I said...I truly hope the best for him and the decisions he makes for our Country.

Happy Halloween!

Grammy Cindy and Memaw bought these cute pumpkin outfits for Weston. I thought they would be WAY too big for him but he has grown a ton and they fit! He is seriously getting so tall none of the NB clothes fit anymore. The 0-3 barely fit and 3-6 are still a little big but I love that he can almost start wearing more of these cute outfits we have for him! I went in and weighed him in the doctor's office. At his 2 week appt he weighed 8 lbs, 12 oz. When I went in last Saturday (about 7 1/2 weeks old) and he weighed 13 lbs 10 oz! That seemed like a lot of weight for him to gain in 5 weeks. I love that he is getting chubby now and has the cute double chin and chubby legs, however I don't think my back is liking it quite as much! :) Clint went to the Ranch last night so my mom and I got to stay home and pass out candy with Weston. This is the first year we stayed home, and I thought it was so much fun to see all the cute little kids and their costumes! Some parents are just so creative, I love it!

Haha! I had to put these up, I'm not sure if these were taken on Halloween or not but as you can see... most of our costumes were an invention from our imagination.
