Wyatt's Birthday Party

Wyatt's birthday party was sooo much fun! We are so blessed to have so many people in our lives that love him so much! He's having fun playing with all the new toys!

I'm walking!

Wyatt's big 1 year birthday party was yesterday and it was a blast. Lots of people and lots of fun! I'll post a slideshow later of the pics, but in the meantime here's a video of our little walker! Sorry it's a little shaky, I kept sliding back to see how far he would walk!

Happy Birthday Wyatt!

Today is such a special day...it's Wyatt's 1st birthday!
It's amazing to us how fast this year has gone. Is it really possible that 1 year ago today we held a tiny miracle in our arms. And today that tiny miracle is not so tiny and wiggles to get out of our arms. Oh Wyatt, we love you more than anything. It's been so amazing to watch you grow and turn into quite the little boy! Your are so full of personality! You can't even use your words to tell us how you feel but you show us in so many other ways. You are so smart, loving, playful, silly, just a little stubborn (haha) but most of all you are our everything. We love you to infinity and beyond!

On our way home from the hospital.

What a big boy you are!

A Day at the Zoo

We took Wyatt to the FTW Zoo for the first time on Monday. It was our little pre-birthday celebration idea. We were supposed to be there first thing in the morning, but David got a business call and the client was driving up from San Angelo just to meet with him. So we waited until 1:30 pm to go to the zoo. That's right 1:30pm when the temp was 103. It's been awhile since I've been to the zoo and was thinking there are plenty of indoor exhibits (for the record - there are NOT enough indoor exhibits at the zoo)! It was way toooo hot, but it was still fun. One of my best friends Amy came with her kiddos Lindsey and Miles. Thanks for being such good troopers guys - next field trip should be to the Dallas Aquarium! We got to see lots of animals. Wyatt's favorite were the monkeys and penguins! Here are a few pictures from our hot/fun day...

He loved watching the crazy monkeys!

A gorilla and Wyatt having a "talk".

I love this picture. It's a total accident but turned out great.

Wyatt zonked out on the way home.

This is going to be worth it...

Ms. Lizz let me buy her 9x9 bounce house that Ethan used since he was 2. I have a feeling this is gonna be a well worth it purchase. Wyatt absolultely loves it!!! Lizz set it up at school and we put Jacob and Wyatt in it and they had a blast. I knew right then and there, we had to have it. We will have it setup at the party next weekend for all to enjoy! Here are some fun pics from tonight...

The Bounce House!

Hangin in the "house" with Daddy.

Watching Wyatt try to walk in it is soooo funny. And yes he IS walking now! He does the Frankenstein walk and loves it. He gets so proud of himself!

David is making him 'bounce' and he thought it was sooo funny! Thanks Ms. Lizz he loves it!

Bounced out and ready for a bath!

First Haircut

Today Wyatt got his first haircut! I wasn't sure exactly how it would go. He did pretty good until she got the clippers out and then it was all over. The pictures explain it all. He looks so handsome and so BIG. Can't believe he's turning one in a week and a half!

"Uh Mom, what is she putting on me?"

Looking like such a big boy.

"Make it stop!"

All done and looking so HANDSOME!

"Yeah, I just got my first haircut!"

Wyatt's 1 year old pics

Here are Wyatt's AMAZING proofs from his 1 year old photo shoot with David Leaser. He originally sent me the email with 170 pictures. I then narrowed it down to 91 and then now 77. So there are alot of pictures! But they are ALL so amazing. David captured so many amazing shots that I will treasure forever. Thank you so much David!
Grab a snack and drink and enjoy!!!

Summer Fun

We got Wyatt an awesome baby splish splash pool from Big Lots. I thought he would like it. He is ALL BOY and has no fear and practically throws himself around in his bath. He stayed in the pool for all of 5 minutes. He was kind of digging the shark for a little bit, but lost interest quickly. I honestly think the water was too cold and I'm thinking he'll like it next time. He did look pretty cute in his swimsuit.

Let's get this over with...

This morning Wyatt had tubes put in his ears and I'm so glad it's over with. Last night I could not sleep. Even though I worked for an ENT doctor in college I was still nervous. And I just kept saying to myself nothing to eat or drink after midnight, nothing to eat or drink after midnight. I am a creature of habit so I was worried when he woke up I was going to go straight to making his bottle. We got to the surgery center around 7:15 they took us back about 7:45. Went through all the paperwork, told us what to expect and then we had to wait for the dr. he came in around 8:20 answered a few questions and then they took him at 8:27 and called us into the consultation room at 8:34. For those of you adding that's a whopping 7 minute surgery! When they called us back to recovery they didn't even have to show us where to go because we heard him screaming! He was flopping around in the nurses arms trying to get away. Poor baby had no idea what was going on. It took about an hour for him to calm down and once we got home he slept for 3 hours! He is now back to himself and doing great. Hopefully this is the end to ear infections and antibiotics!

"Let me check these things out first, before you put them on me."

"Ok, I'm good with it. Let's get this show on the road."

Cuddling with his tiger on the way home. Poor Baby.

Great Memorial Weekend

We had a great holiday weekend. Saturday we did some major yard work. Had a few dead trees to get rid of. Wyatt had his 1 year old photo shoot that afternoon (see post below). I've trained Wyatt well cuz he sure knew what to do for the camera. Can't wait to see the rest of the pics. Sunday morning we left to go to the lake (Wyatt's first time) and we had soooo much fun and can't wait to go back. Wyatt showed his true colors...he is definetly his father's son and loooovvveee's the outdoors. Here are some pics from our awesome weekend. Wyatt getting his first fishing lesson from pawpaw and taking it very seriously...

...and loving it!!!

This boy is not afraid of anything. It's hard to tell in the pic, but David was trying to see if
Wyatt would touch the minnow and he wanted to do more than touch it. He tried to take it out of his hand!

Nope. Not afraid of anything. Went right after this fish.

The boys idea of fishing...

..my idea of fishing :)

Our adorable niece Blair getting some time in with her pawpaw.

I'm pretty sure that driving the golf cart was his favorite thing to do!!!

"Mom, quit taking pictures and let's go. I got places to go and people to see!"

He also loved digging in the ice chest. He tried so hard to get a coke and when he would get a hold of one and drop it...

..this is what he looked like. Poor Baby.

Eventually, he did get ahold of it.

How he knows what to do with a Coke can, I have no idea.

This is pretty much how he looked all weekend. Happy, happy, happy!

Wyatt's 1 Year Old Pics...

Wyatt had his 1 year old pictures taken today. David Leaser came out to the house and took some AMAZING pictures of our precious son! I was soooo proud of Wyatt. He put on quite the show. Here are 2 for a tease.. I'll post more as soon as I get them.

A Good Find...

Those of you that know me, know that I looooovvvveee to shop and I do alot of it. I love to find cute boutiques and/or stores that feature local artisans. I've decided I should start passing this info along . I found this website http://www.bloomingbabiesboutique.com/ thru another blog that I follow. The blog I follow is someone that lives in New York and she featured this artisan who happens to live in McKinney(Love to support Texans)! She has absolutely adorable monogrammed stuff. So I ordered a bib and t-shirt for Wyatt's 1st birthday and ABSOLUTELY love them! Great quality and fast service. I called her and told her that Wyatt was having a western birthday party and she had the perfect thing in mind. It's hard to tell from the picture but the red print is bandanna. It's sooo cute, she even put a picture of it on her website. She has everything from beach towels, to key fobs, to lots of different baby items that can be monogrammed so check it out! I think I'll be ordering the key chain next. Happy Shopping!

Beautiful Day

What a beautiful day today was. After church, lunch and quick nap we took Wyatt to the park for some fun in the swing, climbing on the playground equipment and a long walk. He is such a funny baby in public. I can't wait to see what he'll do when he's walking and talking. On second thought I might be in trouble when he can. He is very into whatever is going on around him. He loves to people watch and say things and wave to babies, adults (and dogs). I'm hoping this means he will be an independent and sociable child. David doesn't have a shy bone in his body (once you get to know him) me on the other hand, I was extremely shy growing up. I didn't really open up until college. And still in certain situations I can be pretty shy. I'm pretty sure Wyatt takes after his Daddy. Can't wait to see what the toddler years will bring us.

Update on his ears -We went last Monday to see the ENT to check out his ears (which were fine) and talk about tubes. Scheduled his surgery for May 27th (that was the earliest they could get him in - Yikes) and then 3 days later we had an appointment with the pediatrician for a recheck on his ears and iron level. And guess what....He had ANOTHER double ear infection. For those of you who are counting that's ear infection #6! This boy definitely needs tubes ASAP! The dr gave us extra antibiotic and said just keep him on it until the surgery. Needless to say we're counting down the days to tube surgery. Even though he's had a tough time with his ears that has not stopped his mojo. He is all over the place and just started last week pulling himself up on things to stand and then letting go. This is such an exciting time. I think he'll be walking pretty soon!!!

He sure does love to swing!!!

This is the Hi Mommy aren't I so cute that you don't see me getting the cd of the table picture.

If I could only hear his thoughts in this picture. "I think I can, I think I can!"

Our new friend John Deere...

What is this thing?

It's moving! I think I like it!


Here I go!

Mom, Can I take it outside?

I love my new friend John Deere.
