11 months

I can't believe it is less than a month until Wesley's 1st Birthday! We recently put up the Jumparoo into the attic. It was previously located by the recliner and was preceded by the swing. It is so very weird not to have a large baby item in that location. I am little veklempt. Our attic has become the land of misfit baby items. No longer needed for right now as they have been outgrown by Wesley.

Wesley's fever

We had the first real illness of Wesley life. It was scary for both mom and dad. Wesley started off Friday morning like normal but by noon he had a 99 degree fever and it kept climbing. I took his temperature at around 4 p.m and it was up 103.8 which was very scary. I called the doctor office and they stated to give medicine to reduce the fever and try a bath. I had already given Motrin so I tried the bath. His temp dropped a little. It was a long night as he had 103 degree temp and Jonathan took him to the doctor on Saturday morning. He had Herpangina. He is doing much better today but still has mouth sores in his mouth.

New diapers

So Wesley learn how to do a new trick----take off his diaper! So we order new ones with snaps.










Wesley was impressed by his new stash and liked the pattern that were picked out.

Knitting Monster

Before Wesley came I used to like to knit. I now find it hard to find time to do it. Or when I have yarn out this is what happens. Wesley can destroy a ball of yarn in 2.5 seconds.

Wesley's favorite things!

1st History lesson

Last weekend we took Wesley on his 1st history lesson to Philadelphia, PA. He enjoyed the trip and flirting with all the people. His first stop was to Hersey, Pa where he learn how chocolate was made. We enjoyed a chocolate tasting although Wesley did not get to try any. He crawled around the building and played with mommy's ipod. Jonathan and I learned a lot about chocolate and will not eat chocolate in the same way.

From there Wesley travel down hwy 322 into Amish county. He missed the Amish buggies and horses because he was sleeping.


He saw the Liberty Bell, slept through Independence Hall, woke up during the tour of Congress Hall.

Valley Forge

Wesley at the feet of George Washington

He enjoyed Valley Forge by riding in his ergo carrier on his dad back. By the end of the trip Wesley was hitting his dad back like saying move. He loves riding in the ergo on his dad back and if Jonathan sits on the floor Wesley will climb on Jonathan's back.

Eating mom's hair a favorite Weslian pastime
He liked seeing Betsy Ross House and saw the grave of Benjamin Franklin and he went to the Liberty Museum where he learn about what people have done for his freedom. It was a great trip.

New food

Wesley found a new food this week: Blueberry pancakes. It was so messy that he need a bath afterwards.
