Westin 11 Month Football Picture

Westin turned 11 months old this week.  You can see his first two teeth in the bottom picture.  He is still crawling everywhere and going easy on Trey and I.  He is now trying more table food and hasn't seemed to dislike anything.  His latest trick is copying what we say in baby language.  He can say bye bye, night night, baba(bottle), dada, ball and duck.  His first birthday is right around the corner, and I am not sure how the year went so quickly. 

House Update

 Garage doors are in.

 Fireplace is finished.

 Tile in the boy's bathroom is installed, still needs to be grouted.  All interior is painted too.

 All exterior rock is now finished.

Tile went in the kitchen today.  House is moving along. 

Westin!

My sweet little Westin is starting to find fun ways to entertain himself.  Today, he decided to unroll the TP.  He just gave me a huge smile when I caught him!

William Meets His Teacher

 Today, Trey and I took William to Freiheit Elementary to meet his pre-school teacher.  He has two teachers and three aids in his class and so far we only know Mrs. Tate's name.  His friend Reed was in the class last year and will hopefully show him the ropes this year. The teachers were very welcoming, and he already wants to go back to play with their train tracks:)

Weekend at Lake LBJ

 We just got back from a fabulous weekend at Lake LBJ with Jenny, Ryan, Walker and Clark Frisbie.  We can't thank them enough for sharing their lake house with us. 

 Right before William's first boat ride.  It is hard to believe that he is almost 4 and hasn't been on a boat.  He loved it! Walker and William in second picture.

 Ryan, Walker, Trey and William taking a dip in the lake.

 Westin and Clark even had fun in the water this weekend. 

William playing with a little minnow.

 Westin fell asleep on the boat every time we went. 

 William loved this tunnel.  Ryan was so nice to take him through it a couple of times this weekend. 

 William in the tunnel. Look at that happy face!

Westin's 10 Month Football Picture

 Westin turned 10 months yesterday, and  this has been a month full of changes.  He is now about to crawl anywhere in the house very quickly.  He has gotten his first tooth, tries to copy most sounds that we make, pulls up on any and everything, and actually plays in William's room with him.  I appreciate how tolerant William is of Westin.  He already watches out for him and protects him where ever he is.  Westin is still a great eater and sleeper.  As long as he has food he is pretty much good to go.  He has always been such a cuddly little boy.  When I put him down to sleep at night I hand him his soft lovie and he wraps it in his arms to go to sleep.

 Westin has become mobile this month.  He is now able to travel around the house very quickly.

 Westin stood up in the pantry today and was able to get his puffs.  He is well on his way to independence:)

Westin playing "drop and pick-up" with Mommy. He got his first tooth last week. 

William adding water to the hole he has dug in the backyard.  There obviously isn't much to do in our small rental yard. It sure is easy to maintain though.

 Holding on to his baby walker with just one hand.  He is getting a little closer to walking. 

Who me?  Westin surprised William as he crawled into the bathroom the other evening.
