Cake Smashing

No first birthday is complete without a good cake smashing and eating. I realize I might be a bit biased but this has got to be one of the best cake smashing performances ever. I still don't fully understand where all of the cake went! Well done, buddy!

It took about 0.2 seconds for him to dive in!

This is my favorite picture...

Perhaps a frosting bread is good for the skin??

Nice work, Wes!

There was nothing to do but strip Weston down and toss him in the tub. A nice big sneeze and out came the blue frosting!

Happy 1st Birthday, Weston!!

Happy Birthday to our sweet little boy! We had a fun UNO themed birthday party last weekend to celebrate Weston's first birthday. He had a good time playing with everyone, opening presents, and to say he enjoyed his birthday cake would be an understatement. I apparently failed at taking pictures of everyone who came to help us celebrate from near and far, but a big thank you to everyone who did!

Aunt Sara never disappoints with her amazing cookies!

Wes and Aunt Jill



Aunt Sara also made a cute "smash cake" for Weston. His cake eating deserves a post of its own so those will come later. 

I bought a frosted white cake and then decorated it myself (with the moral support from Jill) to turn it into an UNO card cake. I'm no Aunt Sara but I'm glad it turned out recognizable!

Fall Leaves

Lasagna

Watching Wes eat lasagna is like watching a wild dog being thrown a fresh piece of meat! 

This boy LOVES his lasagna!

And what do you do with saucy, cheesy hands like these??

 Rub them in your hair of course!

Hooray for lasagna and bath night!

Little Man on the Move!

11 Months

Weston has crossed the 11 month mark. He's been working hard on his gross motor skills this month. He can now crawl with his belly off of the floor, is cruising around furniture, and is just starting to get the hang of walking with a push toy. He babbles, enjoys making up new funny noises, and likes to imitate sounds that Alex makes. He continues to eat and sleep well these days too. We are excited to celebrate his big first birthday in just a few short weeks!
