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!

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!

Funky Bubbles!

Buddy Boy

Tannerman — Thu, 05 Jul 2012 21:36:17 +0000

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!"

Bath time is awesometime

Wesley's World: The First Week

Tannerman — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 23:16:00 +0000

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?!"

Our awesome nurse Barb, there at both the start and finish of Wesley's arrival

"Look, the nurse gave me a new hat!"

"I've got my Santa hat. Let's head home!"

Shhh. He's sleeping!

Swing seats make me sleepy!

Pondering...

"I just like sleeping on Daddy's arm"

"You woke me up. I will now punch you!"

Today we got another ultrasound to see what's cooking for Baby Tanner…

In case you were wondering...

As our friend Nick Rosario posted on Facebook: "Congrats, just what we needed, another Disney-loving, Clue-watching, Ticket to Ride-playing, bike riding, Festive Film Friday-having, sarcastic little version of Steve walking around. I pray for you, Amy. Seriously, Congrats!"

Due date is December 21, 2011.
