The Best Christmas Present ever!!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!  Well, Daddy and Mommy had, by far, the best christmas present ever: wyatt started to walk!  Yup, you read right, he started to walk.  Unfortunatly, we did not capture it as it was completely unexpected.

It started off just a few weeks ago when he was standing on his own.  He would stand just a little longer than he did the day before.  Then about a week before, he started to stand up on his own.  We knew we were going to be in trouble soon!  We knew that he's going to be walking any time now.  Honestly, we were expecting another few weeks or so.  Then on Christmas eve, when Daddy and Mommy were talking about what to do for dinner, Wyatt stood up and just started walking away from us!  Our jaws just dropped!  This was just completely out of the blue.  He did start to make one step, but it wasn't too impressive becauise it just looked like he just stomped his foot.

Now, every day, he walkes when he wants to, which is pretty much whenever!  And, he loves to body slam Mr. T as well when he walks towards him.  Of course, poor bubbas just looks at us with this "Oh... My... Gowsh... What's wrong with this kid???"

Excuse the mess please...  Kid just made the mess and I wanted to take the video before I miss him walking again.  Then I'd have to wait for a while for him to do it again...

Oh, and on Christmas... Yeah, our son is so... not spoild.  He only got a rocking horse, a lightning McQueen car, toys, toys toys, toys, toys, toys!!!!!  But, while opening presents, he was more interested in playing with the dogs water bowl...

A visit to Santa!

On Sunday, December 16th, Grandpa took me and Wyatt to go see Santa!  I was a little nervous that Wyatt might throw a fit.  But he actually did really well.  There was a picture I saw that I wanted, but they already printed the pictures as soon as we payed.  **rolls eyes**.  I though Grandpa picked the picture.  I should have known better, he would never pick for us.  Grandpa says that it seems like now a days, visiting Santa is so comercialized!  So true!  I guess I should have researched malls more to see how they operate.  One of the other malls lets you choose your picture.  The one I wanted was when Santa and Wyatt were looking at each other.  It was too cute!!!!  Well, I have the mental picture now :-).  And a lesson learn.  I will have to ask if I can pick the picture from now on.  Anyway, off my rant...  We were there early because I had a Docs appointment that morning for something that just came up on my eye.  It was perfect too because when we got there, there was a very short line at 9:45am.  By the time we were done, the line was about 4 times long.  Crazy!!!!  We were kind of hoping Wyatt would do his cheesy cheese.  But he was just "blah" about the whole thing.  Which surprised us because as soon as he sees a camera, he is all smiles and giggles!!!!

Anyway, unfortunately, this year we won't have a tree or decorations.  I am crazy about Christmas (that's an understatement, just as dear hubby).  I have our decorations down, but haven't put anything up.  Maybe I will next weekend.  Wyatt loves the lights.  I do want to take him to Old Town so that he can enjoy the Christmas lights.  Maybe this coming Sunday with Grandpa and Dad.  I know Wyatt would LOVE that.  All the lights and the fake snow.  He would have a blast!  I think I may have to run that by Grandpa and see what he thinks. 

So a little development update on Wyatt.  He is already standing on his own, but it seems like every day, he adds a few seconds onto his standing.  I know he's really going to start walking soon.  *tears* my little boy is growing up so fast!!!!  Ugh, I hate it :-(  Also, Wyatt has been extremely talkative lately.  Like really talkative.  He is just such a bundle of joy!  He knows who Grandpa is, Daddy, Mama and Bubbas.  Oh, and we know when he is full!  When he starts sharing his food with Bubbas...

First birthday, Thanksgiving and update!

So I know it's been months since I last posted.  Sorry, been busy.  Plus it's kind of hard trying to find time between taking care of a very active toddler and keeping up with housework and downtime for myself.  Well, November 10th had past.  It was Wyatt's first birthday.  We had a lot of fun with friends and family.  We celebrated his birthday at Buffalow Wild Wings.  Wyatt got a lot of gifts!  Lots of new clothes and toys to play with.  Wyatt had so much fun that by the end of the day, he was out like a light!

 

For Thanksgiving, we spent the holiday in So Cal.  It was so much fun!  The drive there was horrible though!  Not Wyatt, Wyatt was awesome because we left around 7pm so that he would be asleep majority of the ride.  Once we got past the grapevine, the traffic was horrendous!  It was bad at 2AM!!!  2AM, how is there traffic at 2AM?!?!?!  Anyway, I think we arrived around 4AM finally...  I couldn't wait to have my head hit the pillow.  I was so tired.  But the "vacation" we had was awesome.  Wyatt had a blast being around 4 dogs... yes... 4 dogs!!!  one of them was very protective of him.  She loves him so much!  It was too cute.  For Thanksgiving, Wyatt enjoyed Turkey, chicken, stuffing, sweet potato and my yogurt that his Lola made...  yeah, he didn't want to share my yogurt.  But he did share his Thanksgiving dinner with Bubbas!!!

 

 

And lately, Wyatt has been EVERYWHERE!!!  He's not walking yet, but we're pretty sure that he is going to in a few weeks.  Why?  Well, the kid is using anything and everything to help him walk.  He uses his walker, without being in it, and he really uses his little bike too.  And now, he's been standing on his own too.  And he is getting GREAT at it.  But this kid tires me out so much.  He is so active.  He loves to laugh, and smile, and play.  And now, he does this cheesy smile.  Like really really cheesy!  He does it on purpose of course.  We call it the cheesy cheese smile!

 

 

 

Well, I guess that's it for now.  I'll leave you with Wyatt's Cheesy cheese smile.

 





First Halloween!

Well my little guy was a little cowboy for Halloween.  Since he was too little to trick or treat (momma's choice), we thought we would see his grandparents.  We stopped by Grandma's first.  She was squeeling how cute Wyatt was.  We hung out with Grandma and pa pa pod for a while.  He got two  plastic base balls and a toy.  Then we stopped by Grandpa's work to say hi.  Hung out for a minute there and drove to Great Grandma's where we hung out for about an hour or so.  He was having a blast crawling everywhere, playing with his toys and playhing with the cup coasters.  Then when Grandpa came home from work, we brought the toy horse out in the living room.  We put Wyatt on it and he was having fun on the horsie.

Sorry this is short.  I haven't posted in Months and Wyatt's Cowboy costume is just too cute not to post :-)
