Halloween 2012

This year we had a fun Halloween. Weston was only 11 days old last Halloween, so this Halloween we actually got to dress him up. Last Wednesday our ward had Trunk or Treat. We dressed up Weston as a cowboy. We thought that was only fitting since it's our first Halloween in Texas! We wanted to buy him separate pieces that he could wear again. We didn't buy him a cowboy hat because he always pulls hats right off! It was kind of a make shift costume, but he looked cute. Monday night we carved/painted pumpkins and watched It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown like we do every year. I really wanted to paint a chevron pumpkin. Let's just say it was a lot harder than I thought it would be and it was a total fail! Haha. John carved a bat in like 5 minutes and it looked better than my painted pumpkin. We had a little pumpkin for Wes, but never got around to carving it. Last night for Halloween we didn't dress him up again cause he's too little to take trick or treating, but we did put him in some cute jammies his Grandparents gave him for his birthday. They also gave us this cute Halloween beanie, but Wes always takes hats off so it didn't last for more than 30 seconds. I snapped a few pics of him in the hat as fast as I could. Little stinker. We made the yummiest homemade Chicken Noodle Soup and watched Hocus Pocus after Wes went to bed. We had candy for trick or treaters but not one came! Crazy! Next year will be even funner when we can take Wes trick or treating! Hope you had a fun Holiday!

Months 0-12 Collage of Weston

I have combined one picture from each of the month photo shoots I took. I tried to pick photos that you could actually see the sticker on his onesie. It's so fun to see how he's changed! I am so glad I took the time to do this each month! It wasn't easy especially after he became mobile! Haha. I love my baby boy so much and can't wait to do it with the next baby boy in April! 

Wes 1 Yr. Birthday/ Month Photo Shoot

My sweet baby boy is ONE! He turned One yesterday. It has just flown by. John's parent's are in town to celebrate his birthday. It's been great having them here. We went to the Houston Zoo on Friday. Yesterday for his B-Day we went to Brunch and then later went to Lupe Tortilla for dinner. After dinner we had to run some errands. By the time we got back for Cake and presents poor baby was tired and fussy. He hated it when I tried to put his Birthday hat on. We had finally got him a high chair so between all of those things he wasn't very happy. We had to turn on the ipad so he wouldn't fuss. I think he liked his cake? Haha. He really didn't know what to do with it. It was kind of funny. Then we gave him a bottle and put him to bed while we opened his presents for him! Haha! He got a lot of cute clothes and toys. I think he had a great day even though he won't remember it.  I am grateful family was able to come from CA and see him. We got Weston's one year photos done and did a family shoot at the same time last Saturday. I have gotten back a couple pics of Weston for a sneak peek. We had the balloons leftover from his year photo shoot so I put them in some of the ones I took today. I can't believe they still have some air left in them. I will do a blog post when I get back all the photos from our photo shoot. This is the last Month Photo Shoot I have to do for him. I'll have to do a post with all months 0-12 in a grid. At One year old Weston:

Now here is the Motherload of pics from his birthday and his Month Photo Shoot.

Here is a video of us singing Happy Birthday and starting to eat his little Nothing Bundt Cake. I forgot I was recording for a minute so that's why the video pans to the floor. Oops.
