I don't wanna be the monkey!

We bought Weston a monkey costume for Halloween this year. I tried to put it on him the other day and he would have nothing to do with it. So last night Mike literally forced Weston into the costume while he kicked and screamed about it. (I wasn't home to rescue my poor defenseless boy) So after Mike got the costume on he snapped some pictures of Weston pouting. I think they are hilarious.

As you can see, Weston did eventually come to accept the monkey costume.

Get your hand out of the yogurt!

Weston is usually really good at feeding himself with a spoon. I have left him unattended with his yogert cup before. But not any more...

Silly kid- he is doing one of those forced 2-year-old laughs. He is learning his colors. Just the colors of his legos for now. They are 'boo', 'geen', 'bed', and 'ye-ow'. He is talking so much. When the logos don't do what he wants he yells "hewp" or "do it".

Another new development in his life is taking off his diaper. I snapped these pictures a few days ago while he was watching some Curious George on TV. Then the other day after I got out of the shower, Weston was innocently playing- nothing out of the ordinary. Upon further investigation (since innocence is rare) I found his diaper on the living room floor. Which means he unzipped his PJs, took off his diaper, and then zipped them back up. *sigh*

Updates on the family and the garden

Another fun picture of Weston and his best friend George. I love his little hand curling around George's head.

This was just a fun picture I snapped of Weston. You can see my jeans in the background. I wasn't fast enough to get a picture of him running around with the pants over his head.

Look at my fabulous gardening skills. This cantelope was DELICIOUS and fresh picked from my back yard!

Now check it out, with some perspective.

How's the breeze, Weston?

MIKE! Where'd you go?

The day finally arrived. Breaking Dawn 8.2.08 Although, this is still 8.1.08 as we partied till the break of dawn. Dressed like vampires we partied at a local Barns and Noble until 12:01- then we just stood in line waiting to get our hands on our books. :) My shirt says "Real Vampires Sparkle". Other favorites were "Smitten, not yet bitten", "I love my bizzarely moral vegetarian vampire" and " My heart belongs to my husband but Edward can have my neck". HA! What fun. As I walked out the door Mike says to me: "Take pictures of the freaks" (we prefer to be called Twilighers) So here they are: The Freaks, er, Fanpires:

This poor husband got sucked in by his wife. Although, he does look like he is having a good time. (Next time Seth, have a game plan to avoid these types of things)

A lovely Jacob fan posed for a picture:

George

Weston got a birthday package in the mail from Uncle Greg and Aunt Alysia's family. It was filled with Curious George books and most importantly George himself. As soon as Weston laid eyes on George he squealed in delight and I knew they were going to be best friends for a long time. I've never seen Weston play 'pretend' with any of his toys before. Now he sets George up in his high chair and feeds him lunch. He laughs and laughs as he says "George, eat" and feeds him a chicken nugget. Then yesterday he grabbed the package of baby wipes and said "poo-poo" and opened up the high chair and pulled out George and took him to the diaper changing spot. "poo-poo, poo-poo".

Also, this is our new favorite snack. Florida's Natrual Fruit Juice Nuggets. I found them in the same place as the other fruit snacks but these are way better! Try them- If you don't like them just mail the leftovers to us.
