The Dread Baby Roberts...

When I was pregnant with Wesley I had a dream that his name was going to be Ryan. So he was Ryan for months... until about a week before I had him. Then we were driving to Steak & Sunday when I started to think I didn't like that name. I thought about things that I did like and the first thing I thought of was the Princess Bride. Then I thought of Wesley - even though it's Westley in the book - and I really really liked it. Plus, he was already late and valentines day was only days away... if I had him then it would be "Wuv... Twue Wuv..." and it was PERFECT.

Although when he was born at 10lbs 14.6oz I seriously considered naming him Fezzik.

Fast Forward and now Wesley is 1yr old and the happiest, sweetest, most wonderful little man EVER with just enough sprinkling of pure evil to make him interesting. He's really really smart for his age, and even though ear problems have delayed his speach you CLEARLY know what he wants and does not want. (He will throw things that displease him at your head).

He LOVES Pixar movies, especially Cars, as well as pretending anything he can find is a drum. He has a little kitchen set he occupies himself with all day and is an avid fan of Julia Child. (He "cooks" with her when her show comes on PBS) He's super quick to laugh and smile, he has boundless curiosity, and his only major quark is that no matter who you are, if you walk away from him and close a door he will scream bloody murder because how dare you leave before he dismisses you!

I waited a long time to have another baby.. but he made it so worth it. I love my little puddle duck.
