I love this laugh.

Last night, Scott & I had Westin rolling!  It was so great!  We were doing fake hiccups, and he loved it!  

Enjoy.

Laughing with Mommy.

Love this little guy's laugh!! He's so awesome!

enjoying the weather.

 This was on our walk yesterday -- 62 degrees!  We walked to Kroger & I got a coffee & rented a movie for the evening.

Today it's only in the high 40's, but it still feels really nice in the sun!  Wes loved our walk so much he fell asleep.  Love this little guy!

Christmas card photo shoot.

Well, I decided to give you a sneak peak at our Christmas photo because I LOVE it & can't help myself to not share it now!

This photo shoot was our best yet!  Thanks to my sis & her hubs, I got a remote for my camera for my birthday... I don't know how I ever survived without it!!!  It was soo nice to just set my camera up how I wanted it, then to just click click away!  We took so many, and I never had to run back & forth!

Here are some of my favs.

Enjoy.

family photo shoot.

our whole family got together this past weekend.   It was so wonderful to all be together.  It doesn't happen often, so we did  a little photo shoot & got some updates of all of us.

enjoy.

1 month.

Our little boy is 1 month old today!  I can't believe he's been with us that long already.  So this is what everyone is talking about when they say it goes by so fast!  

Well, he made it past his birth weight (yeah!) and is now growing like a champ!  Today he had his 1 month check up & he is 9 lb 2 oz!  SO BIG!  He also grew 3/4 in.  And my favorite hat is starting to get a little tight, I'm going to be so sad when it doesn't fit anymore-- so I had to make sure it made it in some of his 1 month photos knowing it may not make it to month 2.  

Happy 1 month Westin!!

His cute onesie was a piece of cake!  I didn't do anything... I just put him in a white onesie, and stuck this sticker on it!  It comes in a pack of 12 for the first year-- how cute is that?! I'm so excited to use them every month!
