8 months!

Weston Pea!

So he is officially known as Weston Pea in this household.  Elli even introduces him as "Weston Pea" to her friends. 

Wes continues to be a voraocious eater.  The boy just can't get enough.  Sweet potatoes still dominate as his favorite, but peanut butter toast is a close second. 

Every since he was a baby he has always done things to a rhythm.  Even when you would put him to sleep, he loved to be tapped to sleep to a rhythm.  Now that he is getting older, he loves to dance to music.  I am convinced he is going to be our musician.  Elli and Wes go to music class and it is a hit for both of them. 

Wes continues to scoot on the ground, always ending up going backwards.  Poor kid, someday he will get where he wants to go.  He is always happier on his feet however.  One of his favorite activities is walking holding your hands.  He also loves making "parades" though the house with big sis and his push toy. 

Sleeping is.....slowly improving.

Weston LOVES Jessica our Au Pair.  We call her "su novia" or his girlfriend ;)

We think he had his first words!  There is LOTS of bable, but we think he actually said "elli" as his first word!  She was trying to play with him when he said it so that is good enough for me.  Close second to this was he said Mama and reached for me as I was leaving for work...heart breaking to leave right then after he said it for the first time!

In the last few weeks he has definitely developed an attachment to mom and dad.  Up to now he was pretty content to be hanging out with anyone.  Now he will lung out of your arms to come to mom or dad, depending on his mood.
