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.

We voted.

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!

Here's a little bedtime video

Summer!

Happy 4th

Hope everyone has a happy 4th of July!

Communication

Wyatt's vocabulary has exploded with leaps and bounds lately. It's fun to be able to communicate better with our little man, and there's nothing like hearing his first "love you" to melt Daddy and Mommy's hearts. His annunciation has come a long way, as well ("hot" now has a nice hard "t" sound), but he has some of his own words whose meanings elude us.

Some of Wyatt's favorite things are climbing (he's pretty good at it, too), trucks, airplanes, and Elmo. He LOVES to be outside, and he delights in "scaring" Daddy with boos or his (not so scary) roar, or with his toy snakes ("ssssssssss!"). He also finds hilarity in pulling up Mommy and Daddy's shirts ("belly!") to zerber us. Very nice.

Out for a stroll

He now runs down the slide instead of sliding...
