This is how Wes rolls

Wes is starting to roll over! He likes to do it when we aren't looking. The last few nights I woke up and found him on his tummy, wiggling away. Crawling to come next week! It's hard to capture action rolling shots so we just took a whole bunch.
Reading with Auntie Nanny. Wes LOVES to read!

HappyAnniversary!

We made it a year! Clearly a busy year... we went to the Azores, dealt with a super nauseous pregnancy and had a cute baby! To top that, we are now looking at buying a house. More to come on that later...
The 1st year is supposed to be paper so I made Manny a wedding book, which of course he loved. What guy wouldn't love looking at pictures of one of the happiest days of his life, preserved forever in a yearbook style album? So manly... Keeping the paper theme in mind, Manny got me a gift certificate to a GREAT spa. He knows me so well. Grandpa Bob babysat Wesley for us while we went on our first baby free night! We headed down to Carmel, listening to our wedding CD - Manny's idea. He is a thoughtful guy. We ended up getting stuck in the worst traffic! It took 3 hours to get there when it should have taken 1. Turns out there was a pretty big fire next to the free way. Our slow crawl allowed me to take plenty of pictures. Once we got to Carmel, we had a great time! It really is such a cute little town. Both of us worried way too much about Wesley but luckily Grandpa kept sending us picture updates of their play date. Once we got home, I FINALLY got to use my forgotten wedding cake topper! Frozen, year old cake wasn't too bad. All in all, a great anniversary.
 Clearly Thrilled!
 Playdate with Grandpa
 Wesley loves Jeannie
 Fire!

Hair Cut

My friend Kirsten came over and gave me a little hair cut. I sent the hair off to Locks of Love where they will hopefully make a wig and make someone a little happier. I still have plently left, don't worry.

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary to Manny and Me! A year ago today we were practicing walking down the aisle. After the rehearsal dinner, Manny and his friends went home to celebrate while Nichole and I went to my fancy hotel. Manny surprised us by arranging a romantic setting with my lady friend - O la la! Champagne, chocolate covered strawberries and scattered rose petals! Ok, the hotel mixed up the date that was supposed to happen BUT it was fun to have it. To celebrate our fantastic day, I thought I would share some of our fun pictures!
