Time is flying! Between traveling home from New Zealand, moving into a new house and getting ready for new jobs this month has flown by. Unfortunately all this change has rocked Wes' world and little guy has decided he hates sleeping :( There is little sleep in this house this month, for the first 2 months Wes was a rock star sleeper and then I think being in the camper van and not wanting to wake Elli up, we created some bad sleep habits with Wes and now we are all trying to recover. He usually sleeps max 1-2 hours at a time and wants to eat all night.
Wes has also developed a blood curdling scream. It is so high pitch you can't think. Love the little guy but this scream a form of torture. Funny thing is that it sounds the same if he is happy or pissed, you have to look at his face to decide.
In the last week he SCREAMS when he sees other people eating and grabs for it! While it doesn't seem that he is fully ready for solids we have let him get little tastes of advocado and squash during dinner to keep him happy.
Wes has also developed alot more core strength and can nearly sit on his own, he tripods super well, then all of a sudden he crashes forward, backward, to the side...hard to predict. He has a smile and a laugh to die for, seriously it is contagious. He is more ticklish than anyone or any baby I have ever met.
Wes rolled! Just from front to back twice but we are getting there. We have also re-instituted the safe zone where nothing that can be spilled or broken can be in front of you because Wes grabs for everything! Favorite things to grab are mom's hair, Elli's hair (she is surprisingly ok with this), and eyes.

ELLIOT
Big sister Elliot is really stepping up to the plate. She constantly brings him toys, nuk's, plays peek-a-boo. Seeing Elli always brings a smile to his face. Except when she is pulling his arm of or smothering him...oops.
Elliot is getting so smart and big. She has complete sentences, tries to negotiate, can tell small "fibs." Her favorite thing to do is ask one parent, get a no, then turn to the other and say "she said yes." Seriously we are in trouble when she gets older! Climbing, jumping, spinning, dancing you name it. Her favorite past time right now is...reading books! An interesting turn for our very active little girl
