2 Years with Wesley

For the past 24 months, Amy & I have taken a photo of Wesley on his monthly birthday (i.e., the 16th). Today he officially turns 2-years-old, so here's a recap of our monthly shots during his time with us so far!

Caption This: Dancin' Wesley Edition

We recently shot this photo while on vacation this summer. I'm not sure what Wesley was attempting to accomplish, but it seems rather funny!

Snowy March

After having a pretty dull winter regarding snow, March in Chicago has brought some of the white stuff… finally! Amy & I have always enjoyed hiking out in the snow and enjoying nature, and thankfully, Wesley seems to be on board as well.

Here are some shots from our snowy adventures around the neighborhood and up at the Chicago Botanic Garden.

Buddy Boy

As life with our son Wesley hits 6.5 months, certain patterns and tendencies are starting to appear. Those include nicknames we may call him from time to time. One of those — which I have no idea regarding origin — is "Buddy Boy." (Yeah, seriously, not really sure how that popped up).

At the same time, I've started digging into reading older G.I. Joe comics. Thus I had to crack up when I saw this panel in one of the books…

Violence against Buddy Boy!

This appears on page 22 of G.I. Joe European Missions #2 (July 1988), which was a reprint series of the UK's Action Force Monthly comics (sort of the international version of G.I. Joe that allowed Hasbro to sell more toys).

It's hard to believe, but our son Wesley is 1-week old!  Here are some moments and goofy memories documenting his first 7 days with us…

December 21 was our original due date, but we're cool with Wesley coming early on December 16!
