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.

Having just celebrated Wesley's 1st birthday, I thought it would be fun to go back and post the Instragram photos I took on each of his monthly birthday milestones. It provides a nice overview of how he has grown over the past year!
Birth
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).
Our son Wesley is now 6 weeks old, so we thought it would be a good time to update some of the moments we've been having with him so far…
"Houston, we have smiles!"

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!
"Ooh! We're going to play Ticket to Ride?!"
