I've been wanting to get Wesley in the studio for some time now. You know the old adage about the shoemaker's family having no shoes... sure I take a lot of pics, but Wesley was a little overdue for portraits. It took 3 adults and a bag of Reeces Pieces, but we achieved success! I adore the pics, then again it may just be the mommy goggles talking.

Attempt
It's hard to take Wesley pics. Well, it's easy to take pics, but hard to get good Wesley pics. I haven't done a session with the boy in a while and I had all my studio lights set up, so I had a friend come over to Wesley wrangle a little bit and here are the few shots that turned out. You see, toddlers have a way of expressing extreme displeasure when asked/forced to do something they do not want to do. Sitting still on Mommy's backdrop wasn't very fun for long, even with a favorite ball.

Father's Day
I know I don't say it enough, but Greg is a wonderful husband and father. He takes great care of both Wesley and myself. He cooks for us, cares for our home, meets our needs, plays with us and loves us like no other. He has been nothing but supportive and kind and I am so lucky to have found him. I am proud of him and so happy he is Wesley's father. I hope Wesley grows up to be just like his daddy!
For Father's Day we went to Greg's parents house for a family BBQ. Wesley enjoyed exploring the house, deck and yard. Greg got to relax a little bit and we all had a nice time spent with family - the way holidays shoudl be celebrated.

Port Discovery
Port Discovery is a really great children's museum in downtown Baltimore. I've never been there, but I've always heard good things and we were invited to go with a group. I always thought Wesley wasn't really old enough for this type of museum and it turns out he is just the right age to start hanging out there. Port Discovery has a lot of offerings for children of all ages and some exhibits were a little "old" for him, but we found lots to do and we didn't even venture up to the third floor! There was a bouncy house, a little corridor with a suspended net "floor," a choo choo train, a whole room of toddler toys including a ball crawl. Wesley really liked the Magna Doodle. They had a puppet show that Wesley wasn't really interested in, but I'm sure someday he will enjoy that too.
We were there for about three hours and Wesley played HARD! He was so tuckered out, he fell asleep as soon as we hit the road to come home. Since I had my camera with me (as usual!) I took the opportunity to practice some sleeping toddler pics. That is, until he woke up, and then he really gave me a picture perfect face!

Maryland Zoo Easter Egg Hunt
Our neighbor told us the Maryland Zoo was having an Easter Egg Hunt, and since my mom was in town and we were looking for something fun and kid friendly to do, we decided to check it out. We were greeted by the Easter Bunny when we got to the zoo and then we headed over to the egg hunt. Wesley had a lot, and I mean, A LOT of fun with the egg hunt. I mean, he could run around outside picking up stuff and bring it to myself, Daddy or Grandma. I think it was Wesley bliss.
After we turned in our eggs for some candy, we went to see lots of animals. Wesley seemed to like the animals well enough, of course, he still loves birds. At one point there was a long grassy knoll with two birds (free range wild birds, not a zoo exhibit) and we let Wesley just run and chase the birds. He was so darn happy to be able to run after them. And they would only fly a short way from him and the chase would continue all the way to the end of the strip and the birds flew into a bush. With that, the game was over and Wesley was saddened by that and tried to protest leaving that particular area.
All was not lost and he was quickly absorbed into the next activity... the petting zoo. Mommy and Grandma followed Wesley around, ensuring he didn't do anything to antagonize the goats too much. He seemed to like the petting area, but I think he enjoyed watching the other kids pet the animals just as much.
The zoo was a fun day trip, but probably still a little old for Wesley. We're thinking next year his attention span might allow for even more enjoyment at the zoo. It was still a nice way to spend the day.
