Wes is 12 months old. HAPPY BIRTHDAY

OMG I have a 1 year old. The 2nd child things go by so much faster than the first. His birthday I will never EVER forget. The stomach bug decided to hit the Hanna family. Wes started it on Monday and by Wed the rest of the family got it. It got so bad that Daddy had to go to the emergency room Wed night. Then Nate had to go in the middle of the night/morning (3am) on Saturday. Mommy (thank God) got the mildest version so she could take care of everyone. Mommy never changed so many diapers, given so many baths and so much laundry that the washer/dryer is tired. So with all that said we had to cancel the birthday party. No one was well enough for visitors and who would want to come over and get this? So Mommy felt bad for Wes on his birthday. Yeah I know he knows he has no idea it is birthday but I didn't even have a present for him. So off to the store I go that afternoon to get both boys gifts since we had such a horrible week. I got Wes the Mickey Dance Star and Nate the Buzzlight year. Also balloons. What was the biggest hit? Balloons. Wes will crawl everywhere for with and will reach out when he sees it. We rescheduled the party for the next weekend. It won't be the same because flights had to be canceled and not everyone can make it.
So lets get back to happier things and talk about Wes. Wes is a cruising machine. I caught him the other day standing by himself for 3 seconds. He had something in his hand that took his attention. His new favorite toy is a hair brush. He will crawl around with it and then he will brush his hair. Cutest thing EVER. Kisses kisses kisses. He gives kisses all the time. I love it! Nate did hugs all the time so kisses is so great. It is big wide mouth with lots of drool. The best kisses EVER. Screaming. This is what Wes does best. He gets so excited that he screams to the highest pitch. He laughs all the time still and it is the best medicine if your in a bad mood. When Nate is sent to timeout he always goes over to him and tries to cheer him up. He ends up climbing on him or takes a toy over there and plays with it while Nate is being punished. It happens every time. He is now clapping.
I can't wait for the next year to do the same thing with Nate and write of all the new things he is doing each month.
I love this boy.
