Candace and Weston went to a consignment sale in a giant warehouse in Castaic, and it was amazing! They have items that are slightly used from 0-18 years old but there is such a surplus for babies. It was crazy, there were like hundreds of strollers, pack n plays, exersaucers, floor mats, toys, everything you could ever need if you were having a baby. Guess people really like to make money selling their used things. Some things I probably wouldn't buy used but some I think "what a great deal!" We ended up buying quite a few books to add to Wes' library, and we found a great door jumper which Weston loves!
Weston and Candace went to a birthday party for her friend Jade's two young sons and he was having fun in the beginning.... After about an hour of being there he started frrreeeaaaking out, like screaming at the top of his lungs inconsolable for over an hour. It's hard when you feel like there is nothing you can do but be there, and especially when you are by yourself, but we made it through. I didn't want to drive him home because we were about 45 minutes away so I just stayed in a back room with him and tried to settle him down. Thankfully one of my friends from our old ward (which we still miss dearly) stayed with us the whole time. Weston has done this two other times - at the family reunion, and at another birthday party for his cousins Zach and Lily. After seeing the pattern we realized he just gets overstimulated by too many new faces and things going on and can't handle all of it, so we need to be more careful about what he can and can't handle. Here is a picture of us at the party during happier times:
Weston has started eating solid foods! Although he is only 5 months, his pediatrician recommended that we try it since he is so big and not sleeping very well at night. I didn't think it would make much of a difference if we fed him, and it hasn't so far, but Wes sure does enjoy his rice cereal. We have also tried oatmeal and bananas, he wasn't a fan of either...but I think it may just be the texture. We will try again in a while. Here is a picture of his first food tasting:
Weston is growing so fast and getting so curious about everything. He is rolling around all the time now and making lots of new sounds and faces. We finally bought a high chair and a crib! We can post pictures in the future when we get him in both, the crib isn't here just yet, we pick it up sometime next week.
Jake's schedule switched and now he is off in the middle of the week. He is almost at his one year anniversary from graduating the academy. It is so crazy how time flies, and we are just so proud of how hard he has been working. We are really excited for all of the upcoming things going on; we can't wait for Halloween. Candace is going to be Dorothy, Jake is going to be the scarecrow, and Wes is going to be the lion. We are also planning on going to Sonora soon to see Tait play football. So many adventures, we will have to let you know how they all go! Until next time!
