9 month's old! ( 1-3-08 )




We went to the doctor last friday (1/4/08) Wesley weighs 22.8 pounds and he is 30 inches tall. He is still in the 95th percentile for height but he has dropped down to the 75th percentile for weight. He had to get a booster flu shot AND his finger pricked! He did not like either one of those. I had to hold the gauze on his finger for 5 minutes so the blood would clot off. It felt like I was holding his finger for an hour. He did not like not being able to move around for 5 minutes! Thankfully Ronnie was with and he was able to entertain him for that time. Wesley got his very first tooth on Saturday morning! (1/5/08) I happened to check his mouth and I felt it and screamed with excitement. Of coarse we had to call the Grandparent's and tell them his new milestone! I think any day now Wesley will start to crawl. He just started to scoot backwards tonight. Ronnie installed a baby gate last week. It is now only a matter of time before he is going to be everywhere! We still have to baby proof the house but we are almost there. Wesley is really good at saying "Dada" and once in a great while we hear a "mama" so we think anyways. He loves to play in his bed in the morning and all we hear is lots and lots of chatter. That is my favorite part of the day. Waking up to my baby cooing and chatting away in his room. He loves books. He will sit in my lap and I will read up to 10 books before he even tries to do something else. It is amazing to me how into book's he is. I think he is going to be my little book worm. We are trying to get him to take a sippy cup but he doesn't want anything to do with it so we just keep trying!
