The little man in action...

These videos were supposed to be part of the last post but I couldn't get them to load. Hope you enjoy our little rug rat scooting around the house :)

Big boy!

Weston is such a little crawler...or scooter :) Either way he is super fast and he is into everything! Everyday he gets a little stronger and a lot more efficient. I can't believe how driven this little guy is...I'm sure seeing Emmet gives him all his motivation. He goes up and down the house and by nap time he is tuckered out. I'm pretty excited about it because he is so much easier to entertain and he has been taking so much better naps. Nighttime is all the sudden horrible again...I'm pretty sure those bulging gums are the culprit. I hate teething, I will be so relieved when they both have all their teeth! I just can't believe my little baby is crawling and wanting to be a toddler already! Emmet on the other hand is LOVING his new and improved brother...so much better than that guy a few months ago that would just lay there and watch him all day! Haha :)

Why do they always find these spots!?

We may have another bear-crawler!

You can finally see his new shiny tooth! 3 more are on the way, OUCH :(

I LOVE this sweet little baby.

It's that time of night!

Every night as we're getting the boys ready for bed they both get so silly. Emmet especially gets really out of control. He'll jump up on the couch and jump from cushion to cushion, then he'll get really close to you and stiffen up and just free fall on you with his entire body! He thinks it's so funny...sometimes it really hurts though! And then he'll do absolutely EVERYTHING he knows he's not supposed to do...running around the house like a mad man and tearing it to shreds as he goes...then it ends in tears. It must be them burning off excess energy to wind down for the night...that's my guess anyway. I don't think they know how to turn off the silliness when you reach a certain point! After that he can barely keep his eyes open and he says all his good nights and it's off to bed :) It's pretty funny though!

Getting ready to free fall onto me...

I love this picture...look at that big dimple!

Naughty little monkey!

This is the life...

Well, Weston has been out of his bouncer for a little while but a couple days ago we officially retired it. So, we thought that Emmet would enjoy demolishing what was left of this poor ghetto-rigged thing. This bouncer started out being pretty cheap. I think we got it at Wal-Mart for like $20 bucks and it has paid for itself over and over again! Emmet used it, then Wes, now Emmet AGAIN! Haha! We thought for sure it would be busted after a day of Emmet playing on it, but no it's his new favorite place to lounge, eat snacks, and watch cartoons. In these pictures he had just woken up from his nap and was feeling kind of chilly so he wanted to snuggle with me...I would've loved to stay and snuggle but I had to feed Wes so I got him everything he needed (he grabbed his car on his own) and got him all bundled up with his fave blanky. He sat here for a full 30 minutes just snacking and sipping on his drink! It was absolutely hilarious...especially because he is such a fidgety little guy and NEVER sits still! What a nut.


Emmet's cars go everywhere with him...baths, restaurants...you name it!

The whole time I was snapping pictures Emmet was totally ignoring me trying to enjoy his snack...I admit I was taking a long time! So by this point he was like..."MOM, get out of my space!" Haha :)

8 months & growing like a weed!

All of the sudden we have another big boy! It came so quickly! Wes has really taken off this last month. He loves to stand (with help, of course) and we even caught him trying to pull himself up on one of our stand up toys (he wasn't quite strong enough though), he can sit up all by himself, his appetite is bigger than ever and loves to beg food off of us...luckily Emmet LOVES to share, and he is ALMOST crawling...but definitely scooting everywhere! Weston is sleeping great at night and is even starting to take a little better naps, thank goodness! We've also noticed he is getting quite the sense of humor. It's obvious they both got their dad's goofy personality and they are both so darn funny. I swear I have the giggliest boys. They laugh whether we're tickling them or scolding them! The boys are interacting more than ever. Take today for example: Emmet was taking a nap and Wes was up playing quietly for about an hour or so (I mean not a peep), then Emmet wakes up. As soon as these two make eye contact they both light up and the place turns into a zoo!!! Emmet would run around and pop up from behind his toys playing peek-a-boo and they both would just crack up! Too cute! They were both yelling, screaming, and laughing hysterically for a good hour! I can hardly wait until Wes is walking...this place is going to be outta control! It's also really fun to see their strong bond because when one is napping or out with one of us you can tell they really miss eachother...it's almost kind of sad because they just kind of scan the room and wait :( And I thought having two this close was scary...I'm SO glad it happened. These boys are two peas in a pod! I'm excited to see them grow because it just keeps getting better! I love my sweet boys so much!

So strong!

Wishing he could run around like his big bro! Soon little grasshopper!

My attempt at getting a picture of his new tooth...not quite grown in enough, but look at those big blue eyes!

When I see these rolls I just wanna run up and give him a big squeeze :)

Weekend of firsts!

This was a pretty big weekend for our Wes. He went swimming for the first time and got his very first tooth! He absolutely loved swimming! From the second we put him into the water he splashed his little heart out! Laughing and babbling the whole time, it was so funny to watch him. Ryan held him most of the time in the pool and he would get kicking and splashing so hard he would almost jump out of his arms! So of course with all that squirming you need to adjust them to get a better grip...every time Ryan would move him a little out of reach of the water so that he couldn't splash he would freak out and start screaming because he was so mad! Haha! We probably swam for about an hour and Wes went crazy the whole time. Em and I swam all around with his floaty and he loved to people watch and get tossed around. Afterwards Wes took the best nap...we need to do this everyday! And it's official that we have TWO cute water bugs!

Loving the water :)

I love all their scowly faces in this one!

FIRST TOOTH
We had been having a few rough days and nights and knew those little buggars would be coming soon! He popped one bottom one through today and I'm betting tomorrow morning his other bottom one will be here! But what I'm really excited for is those top two teeth! I can see them coming and they look HUGE, they look like two big chiclets! I can't wait...they are going to be so stinkin' cute! And then from there...more solid foods! He's going to love it!


Wes is feeling pretty good now :)

Dog-pile!

I already have the rowdiest little boys...they love to wrestle with Ryan, it's too funny. I think it must be born into them because I'm home all day with them and I definitely don't wrestle! I'm more about coloring and baking cookies...occasionally I'll get in on a tickle fight, but that's about it! I'm all girl, so how did I get surrounded by so many crazy boys! Gotta love them though...they are pretty dang adorable :)

The boys taking a little breather from wrestling with their dad.
