Tis the Season



Things are going great for the Hall family. Since the last update Waylon has started doing so many new things. He is now eating cereal, veggies and fruits. In the photo album is a picture of him in his new high chair...which he totally loves...the smile on his face tells the whole story. Speaking of stories, there is a good one behind the purchase of the high chair.


One day I was feeding Way carrots. At this time I was feeding him in his exisaucer, because he can't sit up yet and I didn't want him sliding all around a high chair. So picture this...Way is in his exisaucer and I am sitting on the floor feeding him. Well, if you haven't been around a infant lately...they like to get their hands on everything. Needless to say, Way grabbedthe bowl and carrots went EVERYWHERE! They were on his face, my face, his clothes, my clothes, his exisaucer, and the carpet!! Dave being the loving helpful husband and father that he is jumped up immediately, ran to the other room as fast as he could and grabbed the ...... video camera! After he got some good video (and stopped laughing) then he got the washcloth I had originally asked for. :) That night I went out and bought a high chair...they make them with straps so the baby doesn't slide all over the place...wow they think of everything!


We had a very relaxing Thanksgiving. There was food, football, and naps...it was just the four of us(Dave, Jess, Way and Floyd). We didn't think Way was big enough for turkey and fixings so he ate applesauce and carrots. He was still pretty happy.


The Saturday after Thanksgiving we went to Christmas tree farm. It was a fun experience. We bundled up, looked at all the trees, drank hot chocolate, and picked out a tree way to big for our living room (it didn't look that big at the farm!). I have put up more pictures of Waylon during picking out and decorating the tree in the photo album.


Dave will post a new video of Waylon soon...so stay tuned.

Waylon's First Starring Role!


Here is a short video fo Waylon in his first starring role on film. (o.k....video for those I know who know the difference.)


Anyway, he is starring in this film with his co-star, Leap the Frog. This project has been a long time coming, and was only "green-lighted" after several talks with the studio and getting Waylon's agent on board.


Also, I didn't have a battery or cord for the camera until now.

4 Month Check-up

Well, the boy has survived another doctor appointment...shots and all. In the picture he looks a little scared, but he was actually a real trooper. If the truth be told I think he handled the shots better than I did...I couldn't even watch.

Below are his new stats:
weight: 13 lbs 6.5 oz
height: 25 in
head circumference: 42 cm (I think that means he has a big brain!)

We got the go ahead on giving him cereal, veggies, and fruits. I am really happy about this. The way he watches Dave and I eat, I am beginning to think he has been spending to much time with Floyd...learning how to beg! It can be a little intimidating when you have Waylon on one side and Floyd on the other...you have to keep a close eye on your food.

So here's the story on the Halloween costume. I wasn't going to buy Way a costume. I just couldn't justify spending 20+ dollars on a costume that we was only going to wear for an hour, maybe two. Instead I bought him a Halloween outfit (which I posted pics of last week). Then last weekend I found a pumpkin costume for 10 dollars. When I did the math I still ended up spending close to 20 dollars. What can I say? I am a new mom! The pictures are in the photo album.

We bought new batteries for our video camera. Hopefully next weekend we will have video to put on the blog.
