I can't believe it, but Weston started walking just a couple of steps on and off on November 22nd. He has slowly picked up speed, and he's now walking across rooms. He prefers walking over crawling, but if he wants to get somewhere really fast, he'll crawl instead. Anyways, I can't believe that just 12 months ago, he couldn't even roll over, and now, he's walking! Time is flying by WAY too quickly!
Note: This is an older video, as well, it's a couple of months old, but it's his first few steps, so I had to post it! :)

Weston has a new love for talking on the phone, but he doesn't just like talking on the real phone. He loves talking on ANYTHING that he can hold up to his ear and say "Hey". He is too funny!
Here is a video of him talking on his "Tennis Phone" aka Tennis Racket...
Note: This is from a couple of months ago, but I had to post it, because he's SO cute! :)

Weston's Wild Rumpus - Part 1: The Details
As I mentioned before, Weston had a great birthday part, and we had tons of friends and family celebrate with us. I started planning Weston's birthday party back in June, so I had plenty of time to work out all the details. I knew right away that I wanted to do a "Where the Wild Things Are" party, so I started looking online, and I was able to find lots of great ideas!
Now on to the details...
I went with mostly oranges and yellows with splashes of green and blue, so I got orange and yellow napkins, and I had napkin tags made to wrap around the utensils. I loved this!
One of my closest friends and I made Monster Hats for all the kids and adults, who wanted to wear them. They were a huge hit, and everyone enjoyed them! This was a fun, easy project for anyone who is interested in making some for their next party.

The favors...We did crown cookies and cake pops for the favors! They were delicious, and we added tags to the favors that say "Thanks for coming to my Party! - Weston"
Here is a better shot of the favor table...as you can see we had cookies and cake pops laid out, we then had a sign that said "Thank You", as well as, photo's of Grant and I holding Weston during his first couple of months.
Here is a better shot of the table with the cake...we had Orange plates, napkins, the big cake and Weston's smash cake. The smash cake had Weston's head on top of the Max. It was SO cute!
These are the photo's of Weston's 1st Year! We had Months 1 - 12 in the flower pots with beans spray-painted green by my wonderful husband inside the pots. We also had a "Where the Wild Things Are" book on the table that we asked everyone to sign as they arrived at the party, so we could save as a keepsake.
Here is the wreath that my friend, Abby, made for Weston to go on the front door. She is so crafty, and this was her gift to Weston for the party!
Grant cut the logs, and we cut branches and taped the photos on them of him throughout the first year. I ordered the Happy 1st Birthday sign on Etsy.
We had photos of Grant and I from our 1st Birthdays, as well as, a photo of Weston a couple of days before his party! He definitely looks more like Grant! :)
Here is a close up of our "Monster" cake pops!
I ordered stickers, and I put them on all of the cups! They said "Weston Is One!"
I had a couple of other personalized items. I had a banner that said Weston, and I had some pictures in various places and "WTWTA" stuffed animals, as well as, acorns laying out in various locations and cut out leaves. I unfortunately didn't get a photo of this...I also had paper pom's, and I didn't get photo's of these either. I was SO busy with everything else, that I didn't get all the photos that I should have.
For food, we had lots of stuff for the little ones...blueberries, cut up grapes, bananas, apples sauce, gold fish and cheerios. For the adults, we had a pineapple dip and crackers, cheese and crackers, vegetables, grapes, corn dip and fritos, sugared pecans, chicken nuggets and sausage balls. I'm sure we had other items, as well, but I can't think/remember off the top of my head. For drink, we had a couple of soft drinks, homemade hot chocolate and wassail. It was all delicious and a HUGE hit!

Weston and Banks have the best relationship, and it's TOO sweet. Banks is so gentle and will let Weston do ANYTHING to him! It's too funny, but they do love one another, and they play with one another all the time. Seriously...Weston will have a toy and Banks will come and grab the toy from Weston, then Weston will grab it from Banks and back and forth...it's great! I'm so glad that they get along so well, and I never have to worry about the two of them together!
