stella's blessing & a party

Yesterday we blessed Stella, both of our families were able to be there including my sister Melanie who was visiting from North Carolina (which is the reason we did it then and not on a fast Sunday). We had everyone over for lunch after and it was so fun!

We also celebrated Weston's 2nd birthday with the Bird family that night, I made a soccer cake with my sister Melanie's help! Weston loved it and had a blast at his party, he sang happy birthday along with us!!!

Cool shades from Uncle Adam!

Mr. Eye Lashes is 2 today...

Having a son is so different in many ways than having a daughter - I knew that I was having a boy when I was pregnant with Weston, it was so great to see the look on Blake's face when the ultra sound confirmed my feelings... he was so "proud." Having Weston in our family for the past 2 years has been such a blessing, he's so tender yet so tough! He has the longest eye lashes in our family (why do boys always get them). I love his sweet smile, it melts me! He has a love for every sport that includes a ball and will kick most things wishing they were a ball. Weston always wants hugs and kisses, loves both his sisters and has been so fun to watch as he's learned to talk - he will repeat himself until you finally "guess" what he is saying (we can understand most of what he says but others have a harder time). He's become SO independent the last 6 months, wanting to do everything himself... He has had a lot of interest in the potty and has gone the last 4 nights before baths - yeah. He's always on the move wanting to keep his little body busy with all his energy!
We love you Weston ~ Happy Birthday buddy
