New Toy

Santa brought Wesley some construction equipment for Christmas. It has an added bonus -- music!

The Big Day

The anticipation is over. The big day finally arrived. Santa was here!



It did not take Wesley long to dig in!

'Twas the Night Before

In anticipation of Santa's visit, Wesley and Daddy made cookies. Someone was very excited!






We also had to put a carrot out for the reindeer.

Ready for a visit!

First Crush

Wesley developed his first crush recently -- on the teacher of the gym class we go to every week. He asks about her during the week and follows her around class. If she stops, he bumps into her. Too cute. Unfortunately, last night was her last class with us. Next week is going to be a shock to his system. We took a picture to remember her:

Random fun

I have not posted in a few weeks. Here are some random fun things we have been up to:

Mommy's favorite "park" ever - he took a three hour nap after this one!


Long Beach Harbor -- Wesley said "Yo ho, let's go!" Seriously.


Mechanical vehicles - he had a blast!





Pure silliness - a mask from a street vendor~


our Halloween/Christmas pumpkin:


top banana!

This weekend we started preparing for the arrival of Santa Claus. Here is Wesley getting ready, with his Santa hat and Rudolph shirt ~


Wesley did a lot of supervising:




He did help string up the lights on the tree ~



And hung some ornaments by himself.


Here he is posing in front of the finished product!

Science!

Los Angeles is filled with "hands on" opportunities for little ones. This weekend we visited the Science Center. Wesley got to go "fishing":




direct a construction crew:



and get up close with an Apollo capsule!
