Good times

Wyatt is so funny.  Rob taught him to do the Fonze "Aye" which I don't even really know who Fonze is but know he's a funny joke.  Wyatt thinks it's hilarious when Rob gives a thumbs up and says "Ayyyyye".  Wyatt's version is a pointer finger with the same sound.  He also gives kisses today which is a wide open mouth.  He's been giving hugs and is really loving but the kisses are new.  So sweet.

Here's a few pictures from our beach trip to Biloxi a while back.  I want to frame a few but still need to do so much with pictures from his first year.  I have a great baby book from my mom and have pieces of it together.  I just need to devote a whole day to nothing but archiving Wyatt's first year.  So hard to believe he was just a little 7 pound baby a year ago and now can communicate with words and play with toys that require quite a bit of coordination.  We borrowed a great button book from a friend of mine, and he really enjoys putting the buttons which are attached to a ribbon on a book into the cut out circles.

So many firsts

Wyatt is still thriving and being a wonderful little boy.  We are blessed to watch him learn so many new things these days.  He got a toy from McDonalds from his 1st Happy Meal and will find both pieces and bring them to me.  It is a top with another piece you attach it to to turn it and push a button to release it.  It will bounce off the floor and spin.  Anyway, it seems like such a simple thing knowing two pieces go together, but it strikes me as such a smart step and reminds me how much he has grown.

He also is speaking and learning a new word almost everyday.  His favorite word seems to be Evey, our cat, and he'll point and say it over and over until he finds her.  He knows where she likes to sleep and just thinks she is so cool.  She begs to differ most of the time but is tolerating him and his pointing at her :)  He also says Mum Mum, Mama, Dada, Daddy, Ball, Balloon, Down, Thank you, Light, Hot, and Mmm Hmmm.  It's funny but I doubt most people understand him.  I think moms learn their babies' language until the rest of the world can.

Here is a video from today of Wyatt eating lunch.  It was messy but fun.

Wyatt's First Birthday

Oh my goodness.  My baby is a toddler!!!!

Eating his favorite supper - Granny's Vegetable Soup

Don't worry.  He left some room for cake!

Birthday Hat

We had balloons for a theme.  He just doesn't watch cartoons or have a favorite character yet.

Wyatt got his very own little cake.

Bring on the Birthday Cake!!!

He looks ready, right?!

Not sure what to do yet...

Look what I have...

Starting to warm up...

Oh yeah, it's on now!

Mmmmm.

I think I like birthday cake.

Yes, I definately like this.

So adorable.

Oh, a present.

He looks like he's going to fall into the bag!

Catching up with photos of Wyatt

Sorry I got so behind on here.  I have a ton of new pictures to load starting with Halloween.  Wyatt was Tigger, and we took our little tiger to visit a couple of the neighbors for Trick or Treat.  We went to Ohio for Thanksgiving, and Wyatt loved pumpkin pie.  He is all over the place now (just check out the pictures of him being a little monkey).  Other than that, we are just enjoying the last month of his first year and spending as much time as possible with our family and friends.
