Growing up

We can't believe our sweet little guy will be turning 2 in less than a couple weeks!  Everyone tells you how fast it goes...but I guess you don't realize it until you see it for yourself.  He is so much fun and fills our life with so much joy!  In this post I've included some pictures taken by my aunt Barb at our annual Martin Family Retreat...what a great time we had!

Wyatt really enjoyed the kiddie pool!  He had lots of fun splashing everyone!

Other things that Wyatt enjoys right now are "choo-choos" and tractors.

He loves watching Thomas and I usually hear "choo-choo on" about a zillion times a day!  (Which means he wants to watch Thomas)

Here we are at good ole Blue Gate in Shipshe...mmmmm!  Wyatt loves to eat!  He usually does really well and isn't too picky.  When I asked him tonight what he wanted to eat he said "toast and cheese"...so I made him a toasted cheese sandwich...I guess I got it right, cause he ate it!:)  He's also really into dipping things...cracks us up...and he calls dip, "boot"...no idea why...so funny.  And he's also started trying to drink everything thing, which he pronounces, "drank" :)  Doesn't matter what it is, he tries to "drank" it.

Here are Clint and I before our Easter morning worship time together with the family.  So thankful for our family and our Christian heritage!  Blessed that we have the opportunity to raise our children to know the Lord!  Wyatt is always so cute when it's time to pray...he "prays" first...usually he says, "dee-dee", which means "thank you".  So cute!  He's even been doing a better job at closing his eyes:)  When he was first learning to pray, which seems ages ago, he would pray about 5x before we could eat.  So sweet! 

Here is another one of Wyatt's favorite activities...He just loves to "shoot ball", or "shoot hoop"!  He has been doing such a great job lately of putting more words together...it seemed to just happen overnight.  Mostly it's been "Hi daddy", "Hi mommy", "shoot ball", "ride tractor", "choo-choo on".  He also calls everyone "guy"...which I noticed the other day at the grocery store, when he would say "Hi guy" to all the sweet little old ladies! Ha!  I'm trying to explain to him the difference...we'll see how long it takes for that to catch on.

This last photo just cracks me up...These are my grandparents, with my aunt and uncle, cousins & family...we were trying to get pictures in of the different families...since we were ALL there for our retreat...all 43 of us...plus the 2 on the way:)  But here is what Wyatt did during photo time...what a goober, running through the picures!  He never stops...really...never stops.  It's rare that his attention is captured for longer than a few minutes...definitely keeps this mama on her toes!

Boy oh boy...

Wyatt......is he ever a boy!  He constantly cracks us up:)  Just the other week during lunchtime, he kept saying "bean, bean", while he was pointing at his nose.  So of course I asked him if he stuck a bean up his nose!  His response..."yeah".  Fortunately I was able to get the bean out just by having him blow it out.  Whew!  Now everytime we eat anything small like a bean he acts like he's going to stick it up his nose!



No picture is complete without a finger up the nose!

This past Sunday we spent the afternoon at the park...I think I counted about 3 handfuls of sand that Wyatt ate...and possibly some mulch!  Then I heard one of the other kids laughing and I see Wyatt piling the sand on top of his head!  His scalp was completely covered.  The bathtub was full of sand after that bath!



He must be telling them something very important!



This was how I found Wyatt one day after his nap!  He was very proud to show me that he'd taken off his shirt!

 

And of course this is the way to eat raspberries!

 

No horse ride is complete without the sword to go with it!

 

You don't have 3 hands?!  Just use your mouth!

Wyatt is such a busy boy, he really keeps me on my toes!  It's hard to imagine what a little girl is going to be like!  But we are so excited to find out!:)
