Westley & DakotaLittle Westley James is so fun to watch as he's more and more able to explore the world around him. This week, he found his two adorable feet, and we often find him grabbing them with his hands. He holds toys and brings them to his mouth (though he's not quite chewing on things yet). He's also started to help us hold his bottle, which is by far more adorable than it is helpful. He can see us when we're farther away from him, and he is even more responsive to the world around him. He's smiling and laughing more, melting our hearts along the way. He loves to grip my hair, and I often have to uncurl his tiny hand from my hair when it's time for me to put him down.
He had a pediatrician appointment this week, and he's officially two feet long and 11.5 pounds. Thank God for a clean bill of health. We continue to be so blessed and our lives so fulfilled by our amazing addition.
Westley is so strong and can roll over, sit up in his Bumbo (pictured above) and is better tolerating tummy time.
More changes are around the corner: Next week, I return to work full-time (after nine weeks off and three weeks of part-time work during my maternity leave). And my little sweetheart will start daycare. It brings a wealth of mixed emotions, but I'm so thankful to love the job and career I'm returning to and to have found a place where Westley will be loved and well cared-for. Wish us luck!

Westley has every reason in the world to smile when he is awake and smile when he's asleep. He is one very blessed child. I am always so grateful when any child is so blessed.
This is not to diminish the blessing you to received in Westley. But, it's a two way street in the Buselt household.
