10 months already!

Yep, our little Wesley is now 10 months old.  Whoa!  The thing that is hardest to swallow is that he is almost 1 year old.  Eek!  But, I'm loving everybit of this stage.  Tired, yes, but loving it. :)

Wes at 10 months:

• has 2 teeth (the top and bottom left)
• crawls everywhere
• pulls up on everything he shouldn't be
• growls like a Wildcat (in the 6 years I studied speech/language I never learned about the "growling" stage)
• continues to jabber, but is using mama a lot more
• sleeps through the night most of the time (thank you God)
• is transitioning to table food
• loves spaghetti
• isstill nursing, but down to 4 times a day.  Which means mommy only has to pump once at work!
• is becoming more and more daring and with that comes bumps and bruises
• experienced his first KSU football game and did great!
• makes his mommy and daddy smile A LOT

Although I'm sad that he is already 10 months, I'm looking forward to watching him grow and enjoying the next stage of life.

And the moral of the story is...10 month old boys may think they are grown men and it's up to the mommy to keep them babies as long as possible!

God Parents

Jonny and I were so honored when his brother and wife asked us to be God Parents to their twins Ryan and Olivia. Our prayer is that we can demonstrate God's love to Ryan and Olivia as they grow up. We had the priveledge of standing up with them when they were baptized a few weeks ago. It was a special day to see Josh and Jodi make a committment to raise Ryan and Olivia in a Christ centered home. Jonny, myself and Wes are excited to be a part of thier lives and look forward to making lots of great memories together. I hope you enjoy some pictures from that day!

Ryan's first!

then Olivia

aren't they cute!?

 

That same weekend we also celebrated Jonny's aunt and uncle's 40th wedding anniversary with a dinner and dance.  It was a great celebration and Wes loved the music and dancing!

 

 

 



And the moral of the story is...Love and ommittment to God and each other is what it's all about!

9 months

So, it's been almost a month since I last updated the Foerschler Fables.  What can I say?  Life has been busy!  So busy that our little Wes turned 9 months and I'm just now blogging about it.  I don't really know where the last 9 months have gone.  What I do know is that I love Mr. Wes more and more every day.  It is quite an honor to watch him grow.  Thank you God!

Wes at 9 months:

• weighs 18 pounds, 9 ounces (25th%)
• is 27 and a 1/2 inches tall (30th%)
• wasn't quite crawling yet, but started crawling 2 weeks later
• still rocking the toothless smile (cut his 1st tooth last week-on the top!)
• loves playing with his tractor and farm animals
• enjoys books
• loves his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins
• waves "hi" and "bye-bye"
• jabbers all the time
• is still nursing (never thought I would make it this long)
• thinks its funny when mommy says "ouch"
