Sled + 3yr Old = FUN

Wyatt needed to burn off some energy today (no, really, he did). We took a quick little trip to a nearby park. I love having video capabilities on my phone! I'll let the squeals speak for themselves.

Sawyer - 4 months

They say that having a baby changes everything, and they're right (whoever they are). And we knew that going from a one-child to two-child family would be a leap into a whole new state of chaos. I can't speak for Chris, but never did I anticipate that this second child would fill my world with such sweet amazement and set me on a whole new path of self-discovery. This was unexpected, and I couldn't be happier with our family of four. And no, it's not just the sleep-deprivation talking.

Sawyer is a charming, sweet, uber-laid back baby. Hungry? He'll cry. Tired? He'll fuss, and go down easily. Other than that, he is content to go with the flow, provide plenty of smiles, and is eager to watch his big brother. Oh, does he adore his big brother! The feeling is mutual. We look forward to watching Sawyer's personality grow and evolve, and can't (can?) wait to see what sort of fun (trouble?) our sons find.

For Sawyer's four month pics, we brought back the giant cup that we took some pictures of Wyatt in at four months, seen here.

Welcome to the family, Sawyer!

Wyatt - 3 years

Even though we now have the responsibility of raising two kiddos at our house, we are still amazed that Wyatt is suddenly a 3 year old little person. He's funny, creative, imaginative, precocious, smart, and talkative - everything we could've hoped and imagined our three-year-old would be. It's fun to have full conversations - about favorite parts of our days, a story he has made up, or the monster he is pretending is under his bed (no, he's not scared of them, he actually finds monster stories quite entertaining). Perhaps the most fun part of becoming parents to this delightful little boy has been the rediscovery of the world from a new perspective - one that is entirely fresh and finds amazement in things we have long ago deemed normal and mundane.

Thank you for the daily challenge and fresh perspective, Wyatt!
