Weslyn update

It's hard to believe that our little one will be 5 months old in a few days. I got a little sentimental today and let her sleep in my arms for one of her naps. It was so sweet. I knew that days like this were flying by, so I seized the moment.

She's on the move now, rolling everywhere. The days of leaving her on the bed while I get ready are far over. She eats like a champ too! Seems to be ready for food very soon. I think pureeing peas might be on my to-do list this week. Oh and she and Kobe are becoming great friends. They are very interested in each other. Staring contests are their favorite. Kobe always wins though because he can hold his head up longer. Currently she's learning how to sit up. She can finally extend her arms enough to hold herself up for a little bit.

There's always something new with her every week. We are amazed by the changes but trying to hold onto little baby Weslyn before she becomes little girl Weslyn. I sure hope she likes to cuddle when she's older...or she's going to be really annoyed with me.

The secret is to sing "wheel on the bus" to get a smile. Works every time.



She's very impressed with herself as she learns how to sit up. 



BFF4L. Nothing can separate them.

The Kitchen

We had our kitchen renovation back in August, but since Weslyn has come into our lives I haven't had the chance to take any after shots. I've been too preoccupied taking pictures of the baby. You know how it goes. Anyway, here is the new kitchen.

Thankful.

We certainly had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. It's always great to be in Tallahassee and see family and friends.  To start the morning off Lynn, Weslyn and I did the Tallahassee Turkey Trot. It was a ton of fun!



She beat us by a few feet. Pretty good for her first 5k!
My talented sister took some great pictures of us this year. She definitely needs to quit the whole lawyer thing and take up photography.











It was wonderful to be with family to celebrate the holiday. Everyone had a great time!

Great to see some Graves from Atlanta and NC.

You'll notice there are TWO red heads in the family now!


We wrapped up the weekend with a Noles victory over the Gators. GO SEMINOLES! Great way to end a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.

Approaching Milestones

Weslyn has been a "mover" ever since she came home from the hospital. She refuses to be swaddled and has been picking up her head since day 5. I see some rolling around in her near future. I better rest while I can because something tells me this girl is going to be on the move in no time!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was a great success this year. We had a great time hanging out with family and passing out candy to the kiddos. Lawton had a wonderful dressing up as a scarecrow and scaring the kiddos. See below:

Lawton making his friend "George the scarecrow"

He really went all out to  make him look life like!

Pretty good, huh?

In case you can't tell, Lawton is on the right.

As you probably guessed, when children walked up to ring the doorbell Lawton would move toward them...scaring the living daylight out of some of the little ones. He had to shake hands with one little boy to show he was just pretending and not really a mean scarecrow. He really had a great time.

Weslyn had a great time too. She greeted some neighbors in this cute little number Gigi made for her.



Thanks, Gigi!

All in all it was a great night! Hope you all had a great Halloween too!

Fast Asleep.

These days Weslyn spends most of her day sleeping. It's quite the treat when she's awake so I try to capture it on camera as much as possible. I have to do it fast though because she can fall asleep pretty quickly...


Awake, looking around...

Getting a little tired...


Fading fast...

And she's out. It's tiring being a newborn.
