Happy 2nd b-day Wesley!

We had a birthday party for Wesley on saturday the 12th. His b-day was actually the 13th. I can't believe he's 2. My mom and dad and Mark's mom and dad were here. It was a good day, although it was rainy. He didn't take a nap on saturday but made up for it later. It was a "Thomas" theme. We had a thomas cake. I wanted to make it but decided it would be easier to buy a thomas cake from wal-mart.
Some other big news is that we are about to switch Wesley to a big boy bed. He has a convertible crib but we decided to let the new baby use the crib and get wesley another bed. We looked into toddler beds, which they have very many cute ones, but decided on a twin bed and put side railings up. He'll be able to use it longer. Mark's parent's have 2 that him and his brother slept in when they were younger. So, we got one of those and are going to paint it. I'll post pictures of his new big boy room once we're finished. We're going to have to move the computer into our room now b/c the now computer room will be the baby's room.
Wesley had his 2 year checkup yesterday. He kept saying "doctor, doctor" for like hrs. before and after is apt. and saying "ear (for the doctor looking in his mouth),boop,boop (for heartbeat),and ahhh(for the doctor looking in his mouth.) There's this story on the sesame street website I read to him about elmo going to the doctor and I think that is where he gets alot of that from. They had to prick his finger and check his hemoglobin and lead level which was worse than his shot b/c he hates being held down. We had to hold him down for that for 4 or 5 minutes. Then, he does not like bandaids, so he takes them off and blood gets everywhere. But, thank the lord he's fine, other than a runny nose right now, due to lovely allergies down here in south georgia. Oh, he weighed 29lbs. and was 35inches. He seems to be growing in height fast and gaining slowly now, which is normal. I remember when he was gaining weight fast.
Some of these pictures are of a dead tree in our front yard that we had to cut down. My mom and dad were there that day.
