Hair/Eyes:
His little hair is starting to grow back in and is really light brown/blonde. His eyes continue to lighten up and are now between green and blue depending on the day. I know last month I said they were green but I'm taking that back, hehe!

Nicknames: Brother, Wes, Wesley Burger, Wesley Michael

Sleep Habits:
He still sleeps in his crib for all naps and at night.
He sleeps in the pack n play at Cathy's. Of course if we're at Mardi Gras he sleeps on the parade route, under a table in the middle of bands playing and people screaming for beads... :)
He is a mostly a tummy sleeper just like Trey was.

We had to lower the crib rail as he can now stand up in his crib.
What He Eats:
Wesley is mostly still breastfed but we have had to start supplementing with some formula as my supply has dropped. If he gets any formula, he gets one bottle (usually at night). He continues to nurse or get breast milk in a bottle the other feedings of the day.
He is still very distracted while nursing and will pop himself off to look around the room, or crane his neck to see what Trey is doing in another room or even sit up from a laying down position. It is hilarious but painful all at the same time! I have had to start nursing him in his room in the dark to avoid getting bitten although the novelty of him biting me has (THANKFULLY!!) worn off some and I no longer get bitten as much.
He always has to be playing with my shirt, holding my hand or touching my face while nursing.
He is now over purees, thank you Jesus! He was just a little over 6 months old and grunting and crying for our food so we started giving him table food. He does get some squeezie pouches of baby food every now and again (mostly for convenience sake) but for the most part he eats table food.
He is getting really good at feeding himself as long as it isn't something super squishy.
...and sometimes you just need some help from your big brother! :)
He loves fruit, buttered toast, puffs but his favorite is green beans! He will grunt and grunt for green beans! The only thing he has blatantly disliked so far has been avocado but we will keep trying.
He is still drinking 5 oz at a time from a bottle and if he's anything like big bro, he will likely stay there. Trey never ate more than 5 oz at a time the whole time he took bottles. He takes 2-3 bottles while at Cathy's house during the day and eats pretty much whatever the big kids are eating at her house!
What He Says:
He can say "mama", "dada" "yaya" and "mmmm". He has also said what sounds like "hi" on occasion. Yes, Mama is listed first because it was his first word. He looked straight at me and said it!!! LOVE! He can also say "dada" and know that is Jim He also grunts when he sees food. His favorite form of communication is loud gasps and squeals though.
He laughs and has the cutest little chuckle. He also has a high pitched little shriek that kills us it is so darn cute.

Daily Routine:
He still eats every 2-3 hours during the day. Night feeds have become more like 1-2 times a night after a little sleep-training sesh. He no longer cat naps throughout the day and he now takes 2-3 naps daily with one being a long nap about 2 hours or more some days. He usually naps between 9-10 then again around 12 ish then if he naps again it's around 4pm.
He wakes for good in the morning around 7 ish and goes go bed around 8:30-9.
He takes a bath with Trey in the big tub and really loves it! He has graduated from the sponge and is now free to roam around the tub. He loves it!

Personality:
He is ridiculously cute and happy all the time! He has the sweetest disposition. When he sees the camera or phone he immediately starts to smile.
He loves to squeal and smiles with his eyes and nose scrunched up.
But when he's sick he's pretty pitiful...
He is my snuggle bug. Loves to be held and snuggled!

Motor Milestones/Anything New:
Just since last month he has mastered crawling and is non-stop.
He is also pulling up and cruising along all the furniture.
He can stand unassisted for a few seconds before falling. He will be taking his first steps soon I know it.

He has started reaching for us and putting his arms up when he wants to be picked up.
He continues to chew and suck on his hands and anything he can get in his mouth but no teeth yet!
He's somewhat over the bouncy but will still get in it on occasion.
He loves to grab our faces and give big wet open mouthed kisses. Those are my absolute favorite!
He is sort of over the paci and only likes to chew on it now. He doesn't use it to fall asleep anymore.
He loves swinging on the swing set with Trey.
He touched grass for the first time and was not too sure of it!
Brother and Buddy Time:
I feel like this could be a meme for "you know you're the little brother when..."
I caught them one morning reading books in Wesley's room, so sha.
Trey's motto is pretty much squeeze and love on him until he cries...we are currently working on this..
