Tuesday Morning Coffee

Tina, those pictures are absolutely precious! My daughter never crawled, she went straight to walking at 10 months.......
Deb

OK...I don't know why that one is so big.  I resized it, just like the others.   Hmmmm...

Thanks, Deb!!

ETA:  i GIVE UP!!  I'VE RESIZED THAT MIDDLE PIC NUMEROUS TIMES BUT IT KEEPS COMING UP HUGE!!  SORRY!!

The middle picture is the smallest when I bring them up!  Weird.

That is weird, Jan.  I resized them all the same way, but the middle one just keeps coming up huge, on my screen.  It's so big on my screen that you can only see about 1/2 of it.  Must be just different screen settings on our computers or something.  

Tina - for some reason I can't see the pictures in your post.  I had to laugh as I was reading this because I got to thinking geez, I can't remember what his name was!!  I just think of him as Dub!  It's Weston right??

Nan, you are close!  It's Western.  I think that's the name issue we're going to have...most people think we say "Weston".  My friends mom thought we said "Webster"...LOL!  When I tell people his name, they usually repeat it back to me as a question.  "Western?"  And I sometimes say, "Yes, like the movies."  That makes them stop and think.  LOL!    

Tina, I used to get the same response with my daughter Payton.  Then one day before you know it, you'll run into another kid with the same name.  She is 15 now and we've come across a few - not many but a few.

Payton was one of my name choices.  It was about 3rd or 4th.  My 2nd choice for a boy was Zane.  If I ever have another one, Zane will be his name!

I wondered where you came up with Western as a name.  There are a lot of different names out there, and I've never heard Western as one before.  When I named my son Blair, it was only used as a boy's name, now it's both.  I wanted a name that couldn't really be shortened, or made cutsie.  My other son is Jay, same reason.
Do you call him Dub at home?  Will that be his nickname through out life now?  I think it's a pretty cool nickname, and no one else will have it either.

Western was my husband's grandpa's name.  I wanted a name that was not "weird" or made up or trendy, but a name that wasn't common, either.  Western fit the bill.  Although, I also like the name Zane.  

We do call him Dub, occasionally, at home.  We try to call him Western, though, so he learns his name.  It's worked because he knows it.  He responds when you call him Western.  Now, my MIL does not like the name Western (it's her father that he's named after...go figure).  She says we only knew him when times were good, so she won't/can't call him Western.  She calls him Dub and she gets frustrated that he doesn't respond to Dub like he does to Western.  LOL!  But he LOVES his grandma.  He lights up when he sees grandma and grandpa.  It's too cute.  Her sisters and brother and all of AJ's cousins LOVE that we named him Western.
