He's On The Move!

Weston crawled for the first time today!! We were beginning to think that he wouldn't crawl and just go straight to walking because he LOVES to walk holding our hands. On another note, we happen to be at Andy and Andrea's house and it seems that whenever we are here he starts doing a new developmental milestone. Here are two videos of this exciting event. In the first one you can see that at first he moved with one leg straight and the other bent. By then end of the night he was moving with two bent legs.

We are hoping that this will inspire Gianna to move:) For now, she is perfectly content just sitting where she is and stretching as far as she can to reach what she wants!

LaVoy Family Fun

This week we got to spend some time with Michael's side of the family and Weston got to meet some more aunts and cousins. We had a great time in Wisconsin Dells staying at the Chula Vista Resort. Weston absolutely loved the indoor water park, and I think if he could of had his way he would have stayed in the water the whole time! I also think when he is older he will love going on the slides with Michael (I will be happy because then I won't have to go on them with Michael anymore).

We hung out in Necedah for the rest of the week, and I think it is safe to say that Weston can now sleep through anything! He got lots of practice sleeping through noise:)

Weston and his cousin Leo- Can you tell what side of the family Weston gets his eyes from?



We then ended the week by going to a wedding where Weston got to show off his new suit:) I must say he looked mighty handsome!

Happy Easter

Our first holiday back in Wisconsin was busy but fun. Weston got to experience dying Easter eggs, finding his Easter baskets and eggs, and meeting/seeing lots of family. We spent the first part of Easter at my Grandma Luebke's house and then went to Necedah to spend the evening and night with Mike's family. Overall, it reminded us of what we missed when we were away from family.

Weston was happy finding one egg during the LaVoy egg hunt.



Weston didn't eat any candy this Easter and he doesn't have any teeth yet, but I decided to start introducing his toothbrush to him. When he was born he got a set of brushes for different stages and he loves the one that is made to massage his toothless gums:)




Finally, for those of you that have not already heard, Michael accepted a job offer from Catholic Knights (a financial services company). He will be working in La Crosse, so that means we will be living and looking to buy a house in the La Crosse area. It will be a little while before we officially start looking for a house, but we have started to scope out houses on the market and neighborhoods where we may want to live. One day when we went out looking we found Weston his own street:) There is also a Weston street in San Angelo and we meant to take a picture of Weston by that street sign before we left, but we forgot. Oh well, I guess that means we will just have to go back and visit!

Oh, and one more thing, Weston has entered his fascination with clapping stage and Michael has even taught him how to give a high five:)

Short and Sweet

I am really not in the mood to write much, so I will make this post very short and to the point.

Weston is getting good with his pincher grasp. He even sometimes tries to pick up the printed objects on blankets:) Check out the video to see his skills.

More and more we are hearing that Weston doesn't look like a baby, but he looks like a little boy. I think this picture captures that well.


Weston is also making some progress towards crawling. He likes to go forward from the sitting position and has made it onto his hands and knees a couple times.
