My little baby boy is QUICKLY becoming a little man! I have enjoyed every minute of being his mommy; yes, even the minutes filled with cleaning up the mass amounts of spit ups and walking around the house during fussy times. I simply adore this sweet, loving, funny, and sometimes stubborn little boy. I have to admit, somedays I feel defeated by the reflux because it is so, so bad right now, but somehow Weston seems to make me laugh through it. He now almost smirks when he "lets one explode" so it can be entertaining. Of course, I will admit somedays, not even his sweet smile and laugh can make me feel better about the spit up. I do feel like we "miss out" on some things or I get embarrassed when he spits up on someone's floor of worse yet, someone. lol. I just have to remember, THIS TOO SHALL PASS!! Anyway, this summer has FLOWN by and in just over TWO weeks I will start school again. I am SO excited for this coming weekend because Weston is getting baptized. We will share pictures as soon as possible. Until then, here are a few shots from our five month photo shoot and some more from the past month, as well as what little Weston is up to. :)
