Weston took his first steps on Easter, but more recently he has been getting better and better at walking. He is now starting to walk on his own, not just around the furniture or back and forth between people. He is SO cute and of course SO big now! It's been amazing to see how steady he has gotten in just the past few weeks and even days. He simply amazes me more and more each day. Today he even walked from his room into the kitchen where I was cleaning up. I thought I could leave him in his room reading books for just a few minutes why I packed the dishwasher, but I guess I was wrong! Looks like I WILL NOT be getting anything done now during the day. All eyes on Mister...just like he likes it. :)
I will post some pictures of Weston walking soon!

Weston is THIRTEEN Months Old
Well, our little one is no longer JUST a year old. This growing, funny, sweet, and smart boy of ours is now now 1 year and 1 month old. This past month I have really seen some big changes in Mister-
1. Separation Anxiety is in FULL force. It breaks my heart, but I try to just tell myself, "he's fine." Once he clings to someone, he really doesn't want to let go.
2. He's becoming brave-going to new people, trying new things, and best of all taking up to 6 steps alone! It is so cute to watch him walk between us when Ryan gets home from work. He thinks it's the most fun game...ever!
3. Personality Plus-Weston is getting SO funny. He just makes these faces and gestures that make me laugh out loud. He also has started making "funny faces" to make people laugh.
4. He wants to hold hands-AND I LOVE IT. Talk about melt your heart.
Although there won't be anymore cute stick on month labels, I still want to document Weston at each month past one year, so...
At 13 Months Weston...
*weighs 25 lbs
*wears 12-18 month clothes, 12 month pants and 18 month tops
*wears a size 4 diaper
*still only has 4 teeth...I think I see a few lumps in his mouth, but I guess his teeth are in no hurry to come in
*loves meal times...his favorite foods right now are: peas, hot dogs, blueberries, mac and cheese, animal cookies, grapes, and "chicken and stars" baby food
*is napping about 2 hrs. total daily (most of the time a small morning nap and at least an hour in the afternoon)
*is talking A LOT! He says mama, dada, pop, lala, bath, bus, bye, no, baba (bottle), book, ball perfectly and he has his own versions of blue, yellow, purple, octopus (weird I know, but he loves his bath toy), yes, dog
*has the cutest dance moves...I swear he does "the twist"
*loves giving kisses...mainly to mommy
*still loves reading books, although recently he has torn a few books apart
*has discovered that he can scream...LOUD...he even sometimes stands on his tip toes (maybe that makes him scream louder...)
*does not drink from a bottle anymore and drinks regular milk!
*has had three ear infections now since 11 months...Dr. says one more within the next 4 months and we will be referred to an ENT for tubes
*got his first rash this last month...it was weird and didn't look good. Luckily, it was mainly on his tummy. At first, they thought it was a virus, but then later decided it was probably a contact rash (thinking from an applique on a shirt)
*is now taking up to 6 steps alone-mainly back and forth between people. He still can't stand on his own for a long time...he can maybe stand by himself , without moving, for 5 seconds.
I just can't believe how fast he is growing. He no longer looks like a baby in pictures; every time I take one, all I see is a little boy. I'm just trying to treasure each day and moment with him because everything is just going too fast. He is completely, utterly, and undeniably the best thing Ryan and I have ever done and will ever do. Ryan and I are so lucky to be this boy's parents!

Happy Easter! 3-31-13
This past weekend was our second Easter as a family of three. Friday, I got spoiled and got to spend the entire day with Weston. We TRIED to be productive and clean the house up a bit, but of course little man had other plans for us which included playing outside in the front yard, taking a wagon ride, and messing up every room in the house once Mommy cleaned it up. We even went to see the Easter Bunny...let me tell you, it was a QUICK trip. As soon as he sat in the bunny's lap he just wanted me back. The picture is pretty priceless. lol. On Saturday we set up Weston's water table on the porch and he had SO much fun playing with the toys and splashing his hands in the water. Later that night we hung out with Ryan's family at his parents house. We ate lots of yummy food and Weston got to spend some time with his Nana, Papa, Great Grandma and Grandpa, Uncle Ross, and of course his sweet Aunt Debbie and Uncle Chad. On Sunday, we started the day off by relaxing at home and giving Weston his Easter basket and goodies-Daddy even bought Mister bought his first basketball goal. Of course, for now I think the goal is mainly for Daddy to play with. Later on in the day we went over to my parents house and had a lot of fun playing washers with Laura. Ryan and Laura even landed a washer on the stick that is an automatic win! We ate lunch and hung out for most of the day and even got in some Vitamin D. Weston had a blast playing with his truck in the front yard, hunting for eggs, and of course spending time with Mimi, Poppy, and Great Mimi. That night Ryan and I got the BEST Easter present...Weston took FOUR steps on his own!! It completely made our Easter! Since then, he has been getting a bit better each day, but he still can only stand on his own balancing for a few seconds. He thinks it's a game to take three or four steps and then lunge forward at us! It's now only a matter of time before he REALLY is on the move.
