Two Months!

Say it ain't so! My baby is TWO MONTHs old! I can't believe he is growing so fast. My love for him grows everyday.


This boy is a lot like his Daddy and loves the morning, he is all smiles when he gets up for the day around 7.

He smiles and laughs a little coo-like laugh at Dad to say goodbye as he gets ready for work.

He LOVES bath time and has just started to kick and splash more, which makes holding onto him challenging, but he is oh so fun to watch.

He loves Nola and she equally adores him. She is always checking to see if he is ok in his carseat as we return home and she loves going on walks all together when the weather is nice. She follows him around whenever we pick him up. I love that she has adapted so well to a new baby at home.


He's a great little eater and is growing like a weed.
Today we found out he is 13.1 lbs and 24 1/4 inches, both exactly at the 80th percentile. He's our little chunky monkey.

We also had our 2 month shots today, which were not so fun. I managed to not cry at the Doctors office, which is a miracle, and he's been so sleepy and cuddly at home. That will make it hard to go back to work for me tomorrow, but I'm glad I've been able to snuggle him all day (thank goodness for Tylenol and the Sleepy Wrap). Tomorrow morning he will head out to work with Dad at Kohl's where there is a daycare on site. I love knowing that Mike is right there if Wesley needs anything. Mike can go give him a bottle or take him out to lunch whenever he wants. We sure love our little smiley man.
Sorry for the bad photo, but after the flash he didn't want anything to do with pictures and since our shots he has slept almost all day. We'll get a better one later tonight.

Family

We had a surprise 1 day trip to northern Utah and my baby sister got to meet her nephew...she was all smiles! She is one gorgeous young aunt! Wesley is so lucky to be so loved by all the Bauter Clan.

We couldn't be luckier to have these cute newlyweds out to visit their new nephew. We had so much fun all week. We're slowly trying to convert all of our family to the cheesehead way of life. We toured 3 different brewery's, tried 8 flavors of custard, visited the Cheese castle, experienced Chicago deep dish at Giradonos, made fresh mozzarella, watched movies, ate Friday fish fry, cooked up a storm, hit lake drive, had appetizers at Miller Park, made corn beef and cabbage for St. Patrick's day,... and spent lots of quality time changing baby diapers (Ben is a champ!). Wesley was such a great baby being carted all over the city. By the end of the week during our last Brewery Tour Mike said "so Wesley has been on 3 brewery tours in one week and we've only been to church 1.5 times!" Ha! Maybe we need to revamp our parenting philosophy. We are so lucky to have such a great family. We miss them already. Thanks for coming to visit Uncle Ben and Aunt Denver!!
