Wyatt laughing

I have been bad about taking pictures lately. We did capture a quick video of Wyatt laughing today though. It was like Spring today, and I definitely have spring fever. We got Wyatt a swingset for his first birthday and I can't wait till next month to push him on the swing. We went for a walk for the first time since fall and he loved it. He was pointing to all the dogs we passed and a basketball that we passed in a yard. He says ball all the time and loves, loves, loves balls. In fact, I'm planning a ball theme birthday party for his first birthday. I was going to do a little cowboy theme because I had some cute ideas, but I figured if Wyatt could pick, he would pick balls. He is pointing all the time. Joe and I noticed today that he has his pointer finger ready all the time in case he wants to point to something. It's pretty funny. You can ask him where things are like someone's nose and he points to it. You can also tell him to go get something like a ball and he gets it. He is still not walking on his own yet. He will stand for a few seconds here and there and he walks holding on to one finger but he hasn't realized he can do it on his own yet. He continues to bless our lives daily and is more fun with each new day. He was a little stinker today though. He will not nap for me. I felt like I had a newborn at home today. I had to lay down with him for his morning nap and he napped on me for his afternoon nap. I cleared out the bathroom and let him play on the floor while I took a shower and he stood at the shower and called for ma ma the whole time. He said ma ma all day today. I loved it, but at the same time I would not have been opposed to him taking a couple of naps by himself. He is obsessed with Hunter and Daisy. Actually every dog and most animals are all day days. (He only says Daisy about 1 in 5 times, the rest of the time it's day day). It did sound like he said Hunter the other day though. He gets so excited when he hears the door open when Joe gets home. He starts saying da da or daddy before he even sees him. He has this truck that he walks behind and he says vroom vroom when he's behind it. Joe says vroom vroom when he pushes him on it. It's amazing the little things kids pick up on at such a young age. He has been grabbing the remote and pointing it to the tv. He gets very excited when he changes the channel. He also knows to put the phone up to his ear and say hi/hello even though it doesn't always sound like hi. I joke that he sees Mommy talking on the phone and Daddy watching tv.In one month my little boy will be turning one. How did this year go by so fast? I have mixed emotions about it. I get sad when I think about him growing up, but I love the little person he is becoming. Bye for now.
