New things with Weston

Weston is on the move these days. He is constantly into something! Since he's been walking everywhere his new thing is finding random stuff around the house and just carrying it around to other parts of the house. I've found shoes on the bathtub, an alarm clock in the trashcan, measuring cups in the hallway, hair gel on the toilet, and many other random things in random places. It's so fun to see him toddling around the house. He loves balls....throwing them, putting them in his mouth, and bouncing them on the tile floor. On Saturday we found him in his crib taking a nap with his pants off. He had just taken them off while he was trying to go to sleep. He's a blast and I love every minute with him!

These boys are becoming good buddies! They've been seeing a lot of each other with the tutoring that me and Catherine have been doing. They are starting to play with each other a lot better. It's so fun to watch them interact. Weston was reading him a book :) and then trying to steal his pacifier :(

His hair is becoming more and more crazy these days. We've got lots of curls in the back and now one on the top. This was his hairdo one morning.

Last week it was raining one day which of course we were very grateful for the rain but we were getting a little stir crazy inside. We stole an idea from Malakai and got out some dried pinto beans and had some serious fun in the kitchen floor. He of course had to put most of them in his mouth and then let them fall out. You can definitely tell we had a few beans to clean up when it was all over but it was fun....that's all that matters....right??

Ever since he started walking he's been playing so hard these days. Sometimes I'll just find him collapsed on the floor like this! It's hilarious but I guess he just needs a little rest :)

We bought him a big blue ball at Target this weekend. You would have thought we got him the coolest toy in the world. He loves the ball and loves to just kick it around on the backporch. Funny that you buy kids all these expensive toys and they'd rather just have the $2.50 ball :)

On Sunday afternoon we went to the driving range. It was REALLY windy but we still managed to have some fun. Dad showed us a few things about hitting the ball. Weston had fun playing with all the baskets and balls lying around. He was big stuff out there with his little plastic clubs.


Even though he only has 6 teeth we are still trying to keep them brushed every night. I read on another one of my friend's blogs that her little boy loved the electric toothbrush. We tried it the other night and he likes it much better than the regular toothbrush! Whatever works!!

LOVE all the pics! Malakai has those same pj's Weston has on in the last pic. He loves them, of course. No idea why : ) Glad Weston likes the beans...I was wondering how many he would eat!! That pic of him laying on the floor resting totally cracks me up! I can't imagine Malakai doing that...he will pretend he's going "night night" but if I act like I think he's serious, he's up in a flash! Can't wait to see you guys in a couple weeks!
