What's goin' on?

A stark contrast to last week, this week has flown by!
I guess we've just been busy.

Let's see...
Weston is walking like a champ now.
He is so cute toddling around with his little hands up in the air. You can tell he is so proud of himself. <3

BUT, with the new mobility comes new problems for Mommy.
He currently has two new monikers:
Weston the Destroyer
Goat 
The first is pretty much self-explanatory; the latter is, well...because he likes to eat paper. Emily used to suck on the wipes, and I know other kids that have done that as well. WESTON EATS THEM. And anything on the floor, for that matter.
The boy knows how to balance his diet, though.
Fiber from the paper.
Omega 3 and 6 Fatty Acids from salmon and tuna...in CAT FOOD.
We can't keep him away from the cat food.

Poor Max. One night this week, I realized that he had been eating his food from off the floor and drinking tainted water all day. He for sure is going to kill me in my sleep now.

Babies have been sweet and mostly well behaved this week.


Sweet kissy faces!

Call him anything, just don't call him late for his nap.


Big news of the week:
W's big boy bed!!

So, here's my theory:
W has been sleeping with us, in a regular bed, since he was born.
Instead of giving him two major shocks of sleeping in his own room AND sleeping in the crib, I thought things would go much smoother if we bought him a regular mattress and I weaned myself out of his room.
I just don't have the heart to let him cry it out...I KNOW WE DID WITH EMMY! And I hated every minute of it.


Our little handy helpers. W has a crescent wrench and E is showing off her mad hammer skills.

My big boy and his protective gargoyle.

The crib converts to a double bed, but there is something wrong with the screws. Needless to say, this isn't the "ta-dah!" unveiling of the big boy bed, but it is our his first night in it!

He looks so cute in his big boy bed. I can't wait till I get to love on them again.
I breaks my heart to hear Emily cry to come stay with me. I wish I could take her for a while. They are going to have me working more because of the holidays.
Give them hugs and kisses for Nana. I will see them next Sunday!!!
