Wes' Photo Shoot

On Wes' two week birthday we had his first photo shoot courtesy of Sweet Serendipity Photography. We had a blast with Jaime and all of the pictures she got of Wes are adorable. Here are just a few and I have no idea how we are going to pick between all of them:

Big Brother Trey - No Longer the Baby

Trey has truly become the big brother in the house and there is no baby left, he is all little boy and every day he appears to have gotten just a little bit bigger. His vocabulary is amazing and we are constantly amazed with the things that come out of his mouth. He is so sweet with Wes and insists on giving him a kiss whenever he is leaving the room that Wes is in. His current favorite is Scooby Doo and he loves to play with his Mystery Machine and Scooby Doo action figures. He is constantly asking us to watch Trey's show which equals Scooby Doo.

As Trey grows taller he keeps thinning out and so pants that once fit his waist now fall down - here is Trey coloring (one of his favorite activities) while losing his pants.

Hanging with Maia

Trey's first black eye but he wore it well

Trey loves to hide behind the shower curtain every night and Mommy and Daddy spend several minutes trying to find him

Trey loves bath time and especially loves playing with his water cups

Yet again, hanging with the girls :o)

Wes - Weeks Two and Three

It is something that parents say all of the time but it is true, time is truly flying by and weeks two and three passed by without me even realizing it to some extent. Wes is an incredibly good baby and we could simply stare at him for hours. As with most babies, most of weeks 2 and 3 were spent sleeping and hence there are many pictures of a sleeping baby.

Wes loves to sleep with his hands up in the air and it is so cute to watch as when he gets startled, his hands will wave in the air.

A rare moment when we got an awake picture - it is hard to tell from the picture but Wes has the most beautiful blue eyes at this point.

Big Brother and Little Brother

Hanging with friends

Wes loves his swing and Trey loves to give Wes his taggie blanket as a cover

Wes' monkey blanket is the one thing that is guaranteed to sooth him - he grabs on to it with one arm and tries so hard to get it in his mouth to chew on.

Asleep again :o)

Wesley Stephen Ellis Arrives

Wesley Stephen Ellis arrived on July 1, 2010 at 1:28 p.m. It was an interesting experience this time around given that it was a scheduled C-section but the moment that we saw our Wesley for the first time was worth it all!! He is perfect weighing in at 7 pounds, 15 ounces and 21.5 inches long. He is such a content baby and we are counting our blessings.
