Boston

The weekend of January 7th Stu and I went to Boston for the weekend and my parents stayed at my house to watch Wesley and Brandon. We had a really good weekend away. On Friday night we went out to dinner in the North End to a really good Italian restaurant. On Saturday during the day we walked around Faneuil Hall and then went to the Sam Adams Brewery for a tour of the brewery. The tour was a lot of fun and at the end we got to sample three beers. On Saturday night we went to Frozen Fenway to see University of Massachusetts play. They won in overtime! We then met up with a friend of mine who I grew up with at Fenway Park for a little while since she was at the game too and then Stu and I went out to dinner. On Sunday we came home.

Pictures for Grandma Marsha and Papa Earle

Brandon took some pictures a few nights ago with my camera. He then told me that he took the pictures for Grandma Marsha and Papa Earle. Here are some of the pictures that he took. He didn't do a bad job.

He's Reading

Brandon amazes me every day. He knows all of his letters and letter sounds, can count to 40 and recognizes numbers to 40, and it starting to read. Everyday he spells words for me and tells me what they spell. I wrote them down on paper last night and he was able to read them all for me. I am sure there are even more he knows. These are just the words he has told me he knows- on, off, can, wii party, Wesley, Mommy, Daddy, Brandon, go, no, yes, Stu (thinks it spells daddy since that is his daddy's name), Grandma (thinks it spells Grandma Marsha since my mom taught him it), up. He can also recognize those words in books.

Good Morning

Every morning when Wesley wakes up Brandon runs to his room and starts saying, "Hi Baby Wesley, Hi." He is always so excited to see him. Now that Wesley is sleeping in his crib Brandon wants me to put him into the crib in the morning so that he can see Wesley. He then lies down with his head on Wesley's stomach (Brandon's way of showing affection). It is the sweetest thing to see the two of them together first thing in the morning.

Dog Pajamas

I put Wesley in his dog pajamas a few nights ago. Brandon wanted to wear his dog pajamas too so that he matched Wesley. He then said he wanted to sit in the chair in his room with Wesley so I could take some pictures of the two of them in their matching pajamas.

Sick Baby

Yesterday Weley and Brandon's babysitter sent me a text message telling me that Wesley's eye was gunky and it looked like pink eye to her. So I called the pediatrician to make an appointment to bring him in after school. Good thing I did. He not only has pink eye but also another ear infection and sore throat. He wasn't even acting sick.

New Year's Eve

Last night we had some friends over and their kids to celebrate New Year's Eve. Three of the babies there are Wesley's age, all within a week of eachother, and there was also a 1 year old and a 2 year old who came over. Everyone had fun playing together.
