Heidi and the Kids

As you can see both our children are getting bigger. Mommy and baby are doing well. Wyatt has already moved fully to his new big boy room and loves it. Wyatt’s big boy room is complete with Cars stickers, Elmo, and some of his own artwork. Wyatt says he’s going to help me turn the toddler bed back into a crib for the baby. I’m not sure he knows exactly what he’s in for, but he seems to enjoy telling people he’s going to be a big brother.

Coming this fall…

	…a new addition to our family! Wyatt’s baby brother or sister is expected to arrive sometime in late September. We are very excited, but Wyatt doesn’t quite grasp what this news means for him. He does know that there is a baby in these pictures and that right now the baby lives in “mommy’s tummy”.

2 Year Milestones

It was a busy Christmas and New Years and we’ve passed a few milestones.

2 years old!!!! A fun day filled with family, friends, cake and presents

Making Breakfast Scrambling his own eggs for breakfast. Don’t worry, Mommy did the cooking.

Eating like a big boy No booster, no sippy, no problem. Learning is messy and fun, most of the time. :)

Big boy bed So far so good, just a few evenings where he pops into the living room after he’s been put to bed.

Jumpin' ABC's

Cute moment captured with my cell phone.

Wyatt decided to add a new level of difficulty to his ABC's.

What a GREAT country.

Autumn

We've had a nice fall so far, and in September we were able to spend a lot of time outside. We spent time at the farmer's market, lake, apple orchard, pumpkin patch, and of course, at home and at the park.

Wyatt has become quite an expert at working doorknobs, light switches, and opening drawers and pulling out whatever he can. He's all boy and loves dirt, bugs, trucks, water hoses, monsters, and anything Sesame Street. He's also into opposites (on/off, up/down, open/close, etc.), hiding, and surprises "uh-prise!". He likes to blame things on the dog ("naughty Willow"), and loves the song "Hey-Ya" by Outkast.

Here are a few shots from Wyatt’s visit to an apple orchard with cousins Trayton, Hudson, and Merrik, and also from his visit to a pumpkin patch with buddy Colin.

Climbing in the hay pile with cousin Trayton	Wyatt visited a pumpkin patch with friend Colin and they had a blast chasing a rooster around the farm yard and checking out the other animals.
At first Wyatt wanted to meet the donkey...	...but when it got close, he wasn't so sure:
Have a great day!
