So, we bought a new computer (finally) and we are off and running with it. We joined Skype and Alex had his first video conference with Grandma and Grandpa this morning. Excitement!!!

What Do You Want For Christmas?

I realize he looks scared out of his mind BUT! At leat he didn't cry. That's something... isn't it???

Random Pics

Pics from our last visit home.

Mom losing control, fast.

I can hear it just a few short years. "Nana, she IS touching me!"

Look at how tightly Alex is holding on to that remote! Yeah, he's definitely a man!!!

Alex, Sopia, Jacob and Keegan. Oh My!

When beagles attack. Not really, Maggie is just exuberant in her need to be in the middle of everything. Everything.

So Much!!!

This past month we have been very, very busy here at the Weckman household. We have had guests, we've had new windows installed, we had our foyer and 1/2 bath retiled and Bug has grown like a weed. That was a mouthful wasn't it? Here are some recent pics of the Little Man and the hallway before our new travertine was installed.

Notice the screensaver on the computer? Yeah, I think he might like himself just a bit...

The marble came up so much easier than I had anticipated. They first tried to take it out with a jackhammer of sorts. When that didn't work they did it by hand. That made it much easier for me to handle. Much. Easier.

The half bath was the first remodel project that Drew and I tackled after we moved in. I hated to see the slate go BUT it would not match with what we had decided on in the hallway and I wanted it all to flow.

Sexiness, I know! Every time I came through the front door I felt like I was in the movie Casino. It drove me crazy! The tile guys are coming back tomorrow to finish the floor, they need to glaze it and then Voila'! It will be done and I can post pics of the new and improved Weckman foyer. So exciting!

Say Cheese

Last weekend we went back home for a few reasons.
1 - My Grandma's Birthday Bash
2 - Alex's 6 month photo ops

We have lots of pics from the previous two weekends to post BUT in the meantime if you have a few extra minutes check out http://www.jenkellerphoto.com/ and click on "Mr. Alex".

Jen did a fantastic job and she is great with kids, in fact that is her specialty so to speak. I think they turned out great but then again I'm a little partial to the Little Man.

6 Month Check Up

This afternoon Bug had his 6 month check up. Everything looks great and the Dr seemed very happy with his progression since the last visit. He is up to 20lbs 3oz and 26.5 inches long or 90th and 65th percentile respectively, in other words he's a chunk. Our big boy only cried for a minute max after the shots and then gave the nurse his best flirt possible. You know, the big grin and then hiding his face in my chest and flailing those arms about. Yeah, the ladies eat that stuff up (suckers). I keep telling him that this tactic will only last for so long but as of right now? Yeah, it works like a charm, he's such a little hambone.

He's snoozing at the moment and if today's visit is anything like the other check ups he will probably sleep straight through until tomorrow morning.

Let Me Tell Ya Bout My Best Friend

Love, I tell ya, love. The only problem with it is this. Annie runs hot and cold. She'll sleep in his room and follow him around the house. Other times she looks at us like 'Look at what you did! It was perfect when it was just the three of us! Why? Why?' It confuses the Little Man.
