As I started writing this I realized I won't have too many photos to go along with this post since I lost about 300 pictures on my phone when it crashed... then it hit me. All of Weston's video's of him learning to walk were on my phone! Not my camera! I am truly heartbroken right now. Not much I can do about it now, so I here is the rest of my update!
Shortly after Wes' first birthday, we spent 5 weeks at Detroit Lake. Jake worked on the fish passage near Mill City. We had so much fun and THAT is where Wes learned to walk! Before his birthday he was walking along furniture and stuff. It was about 2 weeks after his first birthday that he started talking his first steps in the campground. The ground was pretty uneven, there were even some hills, but he learned to maneuver them pretty quickly. NOW, he runs everywhere he goes :)
Our friend Wyatt came to visit us at Detroit Lake!
Kissy Kissy
All my boys fishing!
It was colder then he thought it would be....
He is talking up a storm as well. Some of his first words were mama, dada, duck, deer, dog, jack (our dog) - he was really good at his D's! Now he is starting to put 2, 3 words together and within the last month has really begun to be able to communicate with me. It is so wonderful to be able to talk to my little man. He understands me, and I can understand what he wants. It makes our lives so much easier! I began teaching him sign language around 6 months. Once we got home from Chicago this spring, I took a little break, mainly because we just got so busy. It had been about 2 months since I had done any kind of sign and one day, Wes just randomly did the sign for "more" when asking for more food! He had been paying attention the whole time! Now he can do the sign for more, please and thank you. I like that most of the time he says the word with the sign as well.
We had quit the busy summer. Jake was home for the first part, and working in Washington for the last 2 months, able to come home on the weekends! Because it was summer and we had so much going on, it took us that long to get the trailer up to Washington finally! Every weekend it seemed we had something going on. We made a couple of trips - 1 to the beach with Uncle Beau, Aunt Vanessa, Madi and Marli:
And Wes and I visited Aunty Heather, Ryan and Colin in California!
The best part of our summer though was the beginning. We learned our family will be growing by one more and that Wes is going to have a little brother! Let the fun begin :)
