It's been quite a while... and boy has he grown!!!

So Wyatt is now almost 2 years old!!  OMG, how time flies.  And along the flying time, how much he has grown!!!  This kid is growing like a weed.  He says quite a few words like Dada, ball, thank you, hi and bye bye.  It's actually really cute when he says Bye Bye because he walks away and waves as he's saying bye bye.  He's just too cute!  But of course, i'm probably being biased.  haha. But lately his favorite words are Oh man. When his toys fall or he trips he says "Oh man!" We have a difficult time trying to get him to say please. He'll repeat almost any word you say. But once you say please, he just stops and looks at you funny. He does know how to say thank you though. Oh, he also says "here you go" and "see you". And of course, his favorite word, no.

On labor day weekend, we went to Sacramento gold rush Days. We had a blast and Wyatt was dressed up as a little cowboy. He had his dual six shooters (don't worry, it's fake), his boots and hat. He was so cute that we were constantly stopped because people wanted a good look at him. Even the actors loved his outfit. After one of the reenactments, Wyatt wanted to play with his guns to and get the bad guys. Then as we started walking back to the car, Wyatt spotted some steps and decided it was time for him to take a break, sit down and have a nice cold drink of water. So we put him in his stroller, headed back to the car. As soon as the car started, he was out.

I love the gold rush Days. Can't wait for next year. But our next stop is the Renaissance fair.

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...
