Wesley {Turns 2}
This little guy is 2. I cannot even tell you how absolutely obsessed I am with him. There is just something about Wes that has stolen my heart.
A few weeks ago we were with my family and Jake (my brother) said, "I think you should rent Wes out to people with depression, cause there is noway that anyone could stay sad around him." That pretty much is Wes spot on. Wesley is such a happy boy. He will brighten any room and put a smile on everyones face.
We spent Wesley's birthday week in Kansas, at my families, which made his birthday so much more fun...of course.
My parents happened to have an Elmo cake pan, one of Wesley's loves right now, perfect right? It was supposed to be Elmo holding an ice cream cone, but I figured Wes would love it ten times more if Elmo was holding a soccer ball, another one of his loves. So my Mom whipped up the cake and a giant cupcake (for the soccer ball) that fit perfectly and I went to town frosting. It was a hit. Wes got to eat the entire soccer ball all to himself.
A few little things about our sweet Wesley Glen.
> LOVES gum...as you can tell from the above picture.
> Loves Cookie Monster (and Elmo)
> Favorite toys right now are his dirt bike that he won't put down, his motorcycle that he won't get off, and his soccer ball that he never stops kicking.
>Is totally in love with soccer...and is actually really good at it. If you give him a basketball or a baseball he will put them on the floor and kick them.
>Talks SO well. I think it helps having an older brother, because I don't remember Preston talking this much this young.
>Still hates nursery. Mostly because he doesn't like to leave my side...I know, my bad. Wish he didn't love being around me so much...uh? Ok not really. I do love it most of the time.
>Doesn't like to sleep in his own bed anymore...because he thinks it's way cooler to sleep with Preston.
>Still takes naps though. Thankfully.
>Favorite songs are, The Wise Man & The Foolish Man, Happy Birthday, and Twinkle Twinkle.
>Is best buds with Preston
Birthday breakfast pancakes!
The only two things we knew Wes would love were a soccer ball and a hat (he likes hats). Skyler picked him out this really cool looking ball (Hawkeye colors). He was so in love with it. We wish we would have gotten the unwrapping part on tap. Wes was seriously doing a happy dance and screaming with excitement. The ball ended up being ridiculously hard and large, so we took it back :( But luckily my parents happened to get him a soccer ball that was his size...and soft, so it worked out perfect.
I made Preston a blanket for his 1st birthday that is his LOVE. So I figured it was time for Wes to fall in love with a blanket too. I bought these fabrics months ago...with very good intentions. But it wasn't until 3 days before his birthday that I decided to get to work. When my Mom saw my fabrics she thought it would be adorable to design a little moose to go on the front, I of course let her work her magic. I sewed the top while she whipped up the moose in no time. Then I let her take over with her mad quilting skills. She put the quilt on her machine and had it quilted within the day.
I couldn't get it out of my head that I wanted chevron quilting. Well, than that crazy idea turned into herringbone
...and did my Mom deliver or what?
It looks seriously cool.
On our way home from Kansas we stopped at Skyler's parents. Of course Grandma had made these cute little Cookie Monster cupcakes and had the house all decorated for another little birthday party. Wes was a happy little camper. He is one lucky boy to have so many people that love him.
Wes was the only family member that didn't own a Hawkeye hat. So, we just had to get him one. Now we can all sport our team together.
We love our little Wes and love that he makes us all a little bit happier all the time.
Thanks buddy
