16 Weeks Old

It was our 5 year anniversary. We celebrated by going down to Balboa Park and eating at The Prado. Time sure flys. It seems like yesterday that we got married there.

Happy Birthday Reef!! 4 years old now. He was so happy and enjoyed opening all of his gifts. Both of the boys got a chance to hold the baby for a photo. Reef and Tide were so proud. It was the first time that we have let them hold him, actually even touch him.

1st Time Rolling Over

16 Weeks Old

West is growing so fast. Yesterday I took him to the doctors because I thought he might have an ear infection. He doesn't thank goodness but... we found out he weighs 16 lbs. What a beefcake or marshmallow (my mom calls him that)! He has found his voice. Muir and I thought he must be in pain because he grunts, bellows and sighs so loud and for long periods of time. He just wants to be part of the party and he thinks he can keep up with us noisy adults. No cute cooing here, he means business. Also he has his hands or whatever he can get his hands on, in his mouth constantly. Daily he is changing. Now he loves to be sat up and if he is at an incline he's doing crunches to try and sit up. Reef and Tide are his favorite things to watch. He can watch them play for hours.

The other day I made this infant car seat cover. I use the other one I made so much that I thought I should have two. Here it is. And here is the link to the instructions I found online. West is styling in his seat!

13 Weeks Old. We went to our childbirth class reunion party. Only three couples and their babies showed up. It was a super hot day, maybe the heat kept everyone away. West had to be separated from the others because he was hitting them.
8.26.09
13 Weeks Old. It was his 3 month birthday, so we decided to go take pictures at the beach. This was the best of many. He was more interested in eating the towel and his hands than smiling for Grandpa, Muir and me.

12 Weeks Old. West smiles and laughs at Elmo all the time. It cracks us up, we can show him an Elmo picture anytime and he'll just smile at him.
