This is Jay and My IM conversation this morning:

Anisa (Daycare)put Wes down on the floor and he walked into the room him self and he was holding his bunny and calling for Brandon! It was so cute, Mr. independent! (chuckle)
[8:36:58 AM] Mickie says: what did he say to Brandon? his name?!?
[9:05:00 AM] Jay says: I couldnt make it out but Anisa said Brandons not here yet
[9:05:08 AM] Jay says: it was heck of cute
[9:05:27 AM] Jay says: I think he wanted to show him the bunny
[9:05:42 AM] Jay says: he is growing up

(squirt, squirt)..I think there is something in my eye.. :) Wish I could have seen it, well, I'm glad Jay got to.

16 months

Wesley turned 16 months on the 19th. Today he took the most steps by himself..16 steps! He's finally starting to walk..don't know if that is a good thing or not..right now our lower backs have been hurting us with all the hand holding. And when he uses our hands, he is running, turning in circles, and stepping over logs and whatever unstable ground he can find.

He's also been saying "bye" at interesting times. We'll be standing around after walking the dog, for example, and talking with our friends. Next thing we know, Wesley is doing his backwards hand wave saying, "BUUUYY-EEE". Like he's telling us, stop talking..it's time to go. He's also done that to me as I bump into someone at the grocery store as we are leaving.

In the first weekend of August, we'll be taking our first family getaway trip. It will be at Pismo where we will meet up with Wanda, Cheryl, and the rest of the family. I'll let you know how we do with the baby (and no dog).

Here's a most recent montage of Wes. Sorry for the wedding repeats...

Jenny and Rui's Wedding

Sorry I'm so behind. Lately, I've been writing a post, save it as a draft, then weeks later I forgot to come back to it to publish it. Ok, no more. Whatever I type is what you get : )

A little less about Wesley, (yea right..as you will see in the montage) Jenny and Rui were married on 7/7/07. Congratulations, you two! Here is a montage of their wedding:

I took 2 steps!

On June 19th, Wesley was 15 months old.

Yea! Last Wednesday, Wesley finally took two steps towards me from his play kitchen to me with a spatula in his hand! I don't think he realized what he did. He repeated it again the next night. I'll get that on video as soon as that happens. But, at least, he's doing a lot more hand-hold walking and cruising. He's learning to cruise from one furniture to the next that is in reach. Still loves to crawl, though. (and be carried...ahem) I'm hoping he might really be walking at Jenny's wedding on July 7th.

His vocabulary is getting bigger..he can say "bye", "ah-pah" (airplane), "pup-pup", "up"(his favorite), "ma-ma", and "da-da"(another favorite). He can wave "hi/bye", give people Hi-Fives, and his newest is pointing. Not sure what's he's really pointing at, but I'm sure we'll all figure it out soon.

He also loves to watch us cook. As soon as we start cooking, he wants "up" so he can see what's going on. And his appetite is crazy big, even though he's still skinny. Loves all kinds of foods. He's not picky at all. He eats his veggies. Just today Jay gave him cottage cheese. I think when he becomes a teen, he's going to eat us out of house and home. Big appetite, high metabolism.

He's also doing great at his new daycare. They love him over there and constantly tell me he was such a good boy. The mother or mother in law (not sure which, English is her second language),that the kids call "Nana" tells me "he is such a nice boy". She said this in front of another parent...I think he's one of her favorites..hee, hee.

My First Train Ride

Wesley received this train set from Popo and Goong-Goong for his 1st birthday. He was scared when he tried it. So, we kept in the garage for a bit and decided to test him out on it today. Here's what happened....
