Nap time?

Today I put Wyatt down for his morning nap...a little while later I heard him laughing and I heard a banging noise. I peeked into his room and this is what I saw:) Definitely not napping! What a stinker! I guess I need to find a new place for his hamper!

"Hammer-man" II?

I have heard of my husbands obsession with hammers when he was a kid...hitting things, people, etc. I am now wondering if our son has developed this same love for a hammer??? He has this little toy hammer that he carries everywhere! And he too, hits everything with it! His toys, the floor lamp, even the dog! It's quite funny...

Wyatt has really changed a lot this last month...I can't believe just how much! People always tell you they grow fast and now I believe it! Just in the last month he has started crawling, pulling himself up on things (he just stood up for daddy, mommy missed it!), he's getting his top two teeth in...I am just amazed at watching the process unfold...how incredible God is to have created us in such a neat way.

Here's a pic of Wyatt, in his crib, apparently wanting out...of course I had to snap a few pics first!:) He's also started sitting up in his crib in this last month...it was such a funny thing the first time I saw him do it:)

Wyatt's 9 month appointment

Wyatt finally had his 9 month appointment Friday. It had been cancelled last week, due to the "blizzard". Here are his stats:

Weight: 20 lbs. 8 oz. 50th percentile
Height: 28 3/4" 75th percentile

He is in great health! He had a cold the other week that seemed to last forever, but his Dr. said he sounds and looks great! I am definitely amazed at how quickly he changes...Within the last 2 weeks he went from rocking on his hands and knees to crawling all over and pulling up on his knees. Now he tries to get all his toys out of his basket by himself. Amazing. What a miracle God makes out of each of us. Every night when I see him in his crib I am amazed by how much he has grown in just 9 months...and I wonder what will he be like in another month, in a year, in 10 years...what will he become? I am so thankful for a God who is there with us every step of the way! I can't wait to see who Wyatt becomes!
For some additional enjoyment, I have included a video of Wyatt demonstrating his new way of playing with a toy that he got at Christmas time

9 months old today!

Wyatt is 9 months old! I have no idea how 9 months has passed already since we welcomed our sweet bundle of joy. Thinking back to that day, I can't believe how much he has changed...it's incredible to watch him grow and learn new things. It's so exciting to see him do something new!

Here are some recent pictures that describe a day in the life of Wyatt...

Rolling...hop-crawling....rocking on his knees...

Wyatt's First Christmas

Since it's nearly February and I am just now getting something on here about Christmas, I figured I'd better put a good amount of pictures on!

Wyatt's first Christmas was a blast! It was a lot of fun to watch his reactions to the gifts. We probably had more fun with it than he did!

Here's our family Christmas picture...good thing we got it right away, cause of course during his nap, Wyatt peed on his outfit...so we had to go to the backup, which wasn't a cute little Christmas outfit:)

This was Christmas Eve with grandma Judy and grandpa Devon.....Kathy was reading a Christmas story to the boys.

Wyatt opening gifts...

It doesn't show it here, but with most of his toys, he just wanted to flip them over and check out the screws.....guess he was trying to figure out how they worked...

Even Bailey joined in on the festivities!

This was Christmas morning with the three of us...Wyatt was enjoying his new jumperoo from mommy and daddy.....I'll have to figure out how to put a video on here cause he is hilarious in this thing!

Some cute Christmas day pics:)

Celebrating Christmas at the Cripes!

Not sure that he enjoyed the reindeer antlers!

We had quite the fun Christmas this year...looking forward to many more and being able to teach Wyatt about Jesus, the real reason we celebrate.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth...

Well, maybe just one bottom tooth poking through! Wyatt is getting his first tooth! We just noticed it about a week and a half ago and now it has definitely come through! So cute! He's been doing great and hasn't been fussy. We are so spoiled with such a good little guy:) Here are some fun pictures from the past month to enjoy...

He loves making this face! Cracks us up!

A golden star to the person who can tell me where we are in these pictures!

Thought I'd have him try on his new winter hat! He looks like a little centurion!

Wyatt's baby dedication

On November 28, 2010, we had the opportunity to have Wyatt dedicated at church. What a great responsibility we have been given as parents, to raise our son to know the Lord! I am thankful that we are able to stand up and say this is how we want to raise him. I am thankful that God has blessed us with a child. I realize that it won't always be an easy road, but I know that we must build our family's foundation on Christ and raise our children to do the same. I am so thankful that God is with us every step of the way! Here are some pics from the service...
