More Christmas, Wesley's 1st Birthday

We went up to Southaven the day after Christmas to see Wes, Jenn, Wesley, and Grandma Amanda. We opened presents that night and these 2 pictures were taken the next morning.

What is more fun than babies in their Christmas pajamas?

Oh what fun it is to wear pajamas all day long!

Delia got her first purse, which sings songs, makes sounds, and says "Let's get ready!"

Little did we know, we were about to see Wesley take his first steps! (I think he was going for the purse.) Ready...

. . . set. . .

. . . go!! Way to go Wesley! We cheered and squealed loudly, which startled Wesley, who then fell down.

The next day we celebrated Wesley's first birthday with a sports themed party. Wes cooked Boston butts all night, while the ladies made tasty (and super cute) cakes.

Baseball cake and cupcakes!

It was a fun day for everyone.

The weather was mild, but very windy, which, of course, called for a monkey hat.

It was so windy that I think Delia thought she could fly away. We didn't know what wind was until we got to Chicago the next day! Next post: our trip to Chicago to see My Morning Jacket, whose new album was voted #4 in the Top 50 Albums of 2008 by Rolling Stone - for whatever that's worth.
