Lindsey and Weston

This past week an old friend of mine from college came to visit. The last time I saw her was when her son was born. Which was over 2.5 years ago. So her family came down to see us all. Her son Tyler was so cute with Weston. He was so concerned about him and always wanted to see him. Tyler is going to be a big brother soon, so hopefully this helped in prepare him a little. We didn't do much, just hangout and went to eat. The weather wasn't the best, and Opry Mills Mall is still shut down. We enjoyed hanging out with them, and we hope they had a great time with us as well.

Two Month Check Up

Tuesday Oct. 26th was Weston's two month birthday and check up. He weighed in at 11 lbs and 6 ounces. He was 23 inches tall. On all the charts weight, length and head circumference he is average. Our Doctor said this is right were he needs to be. Of course on his two month check up he had to get his shots. He had two in one leg, and one on the other. I have never heard him cry so loud and hard when he got them. Poor guy. I can relate, I hated shots growing up and I still hate them to this day. I remember when I was in junior high I had to get a tetanus shot, and my mom and sister were with me in the room. I was looking the other way trying to not focus on what was going to happen. When the nurse was getting ready to stick the needle in my arm, Sarah screamed. So what did I do I flexed my muscle and the nurse forced it in. Than she proceeded to tell me that because I flexed my muscle she had to do it on my other arm. So I wasn't to happy about that, and I had a huge bruise on my arm later because of it. As you can tell I still have issues with shots! LOL Later that afternoon he was a little fussy, so I gave him some Tylenol. But by the end of the night, he was having a little conversation with dad and telling him all about his day!

Cuddle Time

Not a bad picture since I took it myself :-)

Brandon and his cuddle time.

Yesterday we had some cuddle time. I love to cuddle with Weston! When I thought about having kids and the baby stage, I wasn't sure I was going to like it. I was never one that was over enthusiastic about babies, I always love to interact when they get a little older and start to show their personalities. Well having your own has changed that. I love the baby stage, minus the late night feedings and no sleep. I have enjoyed holding Weston, and love to have him rest on my chest. I love it when he curls up into a little ball. Brandon says I will love something at every stage of his life, and I know he is right. But we have enjoyed cuddling with him.

A Fall Weekend in Ohio

I love the fall, but really I love all four season when they first come around. I say first because I love the first snow fall as well, but I wouldn't like months and months of snow fall. Anyway..this past weekend we made a quick trip to Ohio. Its the fall and I love going home for it and getting to the apple orchards however this year we didn't make it, but we did make it back to Ohio for the apple butter festival. It was the perfect day for it, and everyone in coshocton was out enjoying it. Weston and I went and met up with Julia and her two kids. We got to meet Amaya, who was born 6 weeks before Weston. I have to admit I give her props, Josh her husband was at a work event and so she had two kids all by herself. Her son Ethan is 3.5 and as you can imagine wants to see and be into everything. Amaya was so content, and Weston well he was sleeping. He had a very busy morning. Saturday he got to meet both Great Grandma's, and his Uncle Jonathan and Aunt Alayna, and his Cousin Ali along with his Great Uncle Gary and Great Aunt Ruthanne. He also got to meet our good friends The McGuire's and their son Cale (who is 9 months older than Weston). By the end of the night he was so tired, he was fighting sleep. I wouldn't blame him, I was tired as well. Sunday we got up and started the process of getting everything around for our trip. It took forever to get everything pack up. Weston did so well on both legs of the journey. He slept pretty much the whole time, even trying to feed him sometimes was like feeding him while he slept.

A Night Out with Weston

At the end of the night. Weston was a sleep in his carseat.

Weston just chilling


This past weekend we actually went out, and we had to dress up. On Saturday one of Brandon's co-workers got married and we were invited. Lets just say with a newborn it basically took me all day to get ready for this evening wedding. The wedding started at 4:30pm and we left the house at 3pm. We had to get a card, a gift, and feed Weston before the wedding started. We got that all accomplished. He was great during the wedding, toward the end though he did have the hiccups. But we sat in the back, so no one could hear them. The wedding was beautiful. We stayed for the reception, but basically we sat down and ate the appetizers because with the time constraint we had we left just after the first dance.
Weston was wearing a outfit that his new friends Landon and Jordan got him. Landon and Jordan are friends that he doesn't even know he has yet. Our good friend Lindsey and Erica had twins in May, if you want to see them check out their blog on the side.
Here are some pictures of the successful night, they did have a photo booth and we got pictures taken they turned out really cute. I am having problems though scanning them in and uploading them on my computer. Hopefully I can figure it out soon, then I will re-post them.
