Wesley's 1st Thread

stitches that is! It was bound to happen. We were at the mall this past weekend and his forehead landed on the corner of a marble tiled pillar. I wasn't right there when the incident occurred but I definitely knew his cry. I think the blood scared him the most. Anyway, we were lucky enough to find an Urgent Care and avoided an ER. Three stitches later, he was proud to be like his Daddy. Shane told him about the numerous stitches he had and Wesley appeared to be happy to join the status of his father. The stitches were taken out on Thursday evening. Shane was wise enough, without any instruction, to save the stitches for the scrapbook!

Maxwell 6 month check up

Maxwell's 6 month stats:

Toothless
21 lbs 5 oz
28.5 inches long
Both 95%+

We also learned Maxwell has outgrown the infant car seat. He had a few shots and is otherwise doing great! I waited until now to introduce food. His first dinner was sweet peas. He has also eaten sweet potatoes and pears so far. In what seems like a blink of the eye, he is sitting up very well. So Big!

Where did the summer go?

Okay, so I totally took the summer off from blogging. Between battling new home projects, returning to work and juggling night time schedules, life in general has put a halt in time to myself. We just have so many exciting things going on that I felt the quick need to post.

First off, Maxwell is 6 months old! I just cannot get enough of him. His check up is tomorrow so I am looking forward to sharing his stats later. I know he has to be off the charts on weight because he seems to be breaking my back. Oh, and he first rolled over from his stomach to back today! Of course it happened at daycare. Wesley is still such a great big brother and still seems to make Maxwell laugh the hardest. It is so sweet to see them interact. Wesley is gearing up for preschool at Ms. Julie's once again. I am dreading the "constructive" criticism but I know that he will make us proud. We've got two years to mold him into a model child, is that enough? HA!

And maybe sadly, my most exciting news today is our new lawn! It is wonderful to see green... I actually think Shane will be looking forward to mowing, if not, I am! It has been 11 long months of problem weather, contractors and luck. Fortunately, that is all in the past! I cannot even express our excitement. I'll try to post pictures soon!
