Fall Fun: Pumpkins, Apples, and Gatlinburg

We have had such a fun fall so far. We've been to the apple orchard, the pumpkin patch and even to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Gatlinburg was the best, and I can't wait to go back. We went with our good family friends the Swindler's and the Cook's for Mom's 50th birthday. Matthew and Jeffrey also came too. It was great to spend so much time together.
We also have been to the apple orchard and the pumpkin patch with the Roger's. I love fall and everything that comes it with it, and we have been soaking it up so far. News on the Wyatt front: Wyatt is his same old lovable, adorable self most of the time. He has been obsessed lately with playing hide and seek. He is really enjoying his flashcards. He is doing great sleeping in his toddler bed and says Mommy bye bye or Daddy bye bye when he is ready to go to sleep and wants to lay down. We still have a lot of fun fall activities coming up so I will try and keep up with my postings. Enjoy the pictures and bye for now!

18 months

This post is a couple of weeks late...sorry. Wyatt has grown up so much in the last few months. For starters, he decided to climb out of his crib the other day and is now in a toddler bed. He has done very well, with a few minor glitches...knock on wood. He continues to talk up a storm and is starting to put three word sentences together like Mommy lay down or Daddy pick up or MeMe get it. I am amazed everyday at the new things he learns. He is so much fun right now except for the daily toddler tantrums but we are working through those. He is all boy right now. He still loves books and sports and any type of ball, but he is also obsessed with any type of transportation; choo choo trains, big trucks, school busses, and fire trucks. School busses are probably his favorite right now. He also loves animals and knows mostly all of them by name now. Sesame Street is also one of his favorites right now. He knows all of them by name, and likes to watch them. Sesame Street is the only show he shows any interest in right now. He says Go Purdue now and makes Mommy and Daddy very proud. He has become even more of a picky eater. I cannot get him to eat one vegetable and he won't eat meat. He loves dairy, fruits and starches. He continues to love Hunter and Daisy and is nice to them most of the time. He will yell at them and tell them no if they try to get his toys or his food(if it's something he really likes). Here are some of his 18 month pictures that we had taken. Our neighbor Beth is a wonderful photographer. She was so patient with him and followed him around at the park. She even took some pics of him in Daddy's truck because he loves it in there. Her website is jemphotostudio.com if anyone is interested. He loves to drive, and that is actually where we got a few of our favorite pictures. We also started saying our prayers at night and he puts his hands together and says Amen. It's precious. I continue to thank God everynight for making me his Mommy. I love him so much and have enjoyed the past 18 months more than I could ever express. Bye for now.

The River and Indiana Beach

Two weeks ago we went to the River with some of our best friends. The weather was a little chilly, but we still had fun, and Wyatt enjoyed playing with Blake, Dani and Sophie. Mommy and Daddy had fun too! We played games, hung out outside all day and ended the day for the kiddos at least with smores.




The next day we headed to Indiana Beach with Ryan, Susan and Dani. Dani and Wyatt had a blast. They rode all the rides in kiddy land and even rode their favorite twice. They are too cute together. Enjoy the pics.




Oh, and here are some pics from one of our visits to the State Fair. Wyatt loved the petting zoo.



Bye for now!

Wyatt Counting to Ten With a Little Help from Mommy

Another Update and Pics From the Past Few Weeks

We have continued to be very busy this summer. This post is going to be another quick update and some pics of the last few weeks. We have had lots of playdates in the past few weeks. We've been to the zoo a few times, the State Fair three times, and Wyatt got his first and second hair cut. I really loved Wyatt's longer hair and I didn't want to cut it, but it was starting to look kind of shaggy at times, so I thought I would get a trim but keep the length. It ended up sticking out like wings on the sides, so we decided to go for the traditional boy short cut. He looks very cute and so much older. I'm sad when I look at pictures of his long hair, but I think he looks adorable now as well. Have I said he's adorable and so much fun? Some of his newest things are putting two words together. He says school bus or pool bus. He is obsessed with school busses. He says big truck or big bear. He loves reading books. He has a few that he wants to read everynight including Goodnight Moon, Elmo Says, Moo Baa La La La and the dog book. He can recite almost all of Moo La La as he calls it. He will tell you which one he wants to read next. He will say moon or moo la la or elmo. And, believe or not, every now and then, he will count to ten. You have to help him out with a number like seven usually. He must have a good memory. I keep trying to get it on video but of course, every time I pull out the camera, he won't do it. He has been saying Hunter now too for the past month or so, and it is absolutely adorable. He loves his dogs so much. The first thing he says in the morning usually is Daisy in a high pitch squeak. Enjoy the pics. We are looking forward to a fun filled weekend at the River this weekend with our good friends...so watch out for that post later. Hopefully it won't take me almost a month this time. Bye for now!

Quick Update and Pics From the Last Month

I am such a bad blogger. This is going to be a random post of pictures over the last month or so and a quick update on my Wy Guy. As you all know, I am so head over heels crazy about my little man. He is soooo much fun, and if I don't say myself pretty darn cute and smart. He continues to talk up a storm and his vocabulary improves daily with new words. He will repeat almost everything you ask him to say and says many things quite well. He has recently starting saying berry, grape and apple. He also says a few numbers; mainly two, five and nine. He continues to be a good eater; but the little stinker will hardly eat any vegetables. His Mommy is a Dietitian and she doesn't like this very well. He is such a good sleeper now. He can point out several animals like horse, frog, dog, kitty, duck, bird, fish and some randoms. He knows his animal sounds well and his body parts. He knows his nose, head, ears, eyes, mouth, teeth, hand, toes, ankles, knees and just learned shoulder today. Oh, and I can't forget his pee pee and ba ba for bottom. He is so happy except when you stop him from doing something he wants to do; he throws a little fit. He calls me Mommy now and Joe Daddy, but I've noticed when he's sad or wants something; anyone is Mommy. Well there's my recap of the last month. Enjoy the pics and the video of him on his new four wheeler. Bye for now!
