Vacation

We spent the second week of August lounging in the Florida sun ( in between the rain showers).  It was a nice break for Mommy to have so many helpers on hand!  Wyatt loves playing with his cousins and they can keep him entertained for hours!  He loved swimming in the pool this year with his puddle jumper on and even enjoyed some swimming in the ocean waves and building sandcastles on the beach...such a big difference from last year when he wouldn't even walk in the sand.  Conrad spent a little time at the beach and got lots of cuddle time with Nanny, Pops, Uncle Casey, Aunt, and cousins.  We fed alligators, played putt-putt golf, ate tons of food, played games, saw fireworks over the ocean bay, saw dolphins swimming in the ocean, and overall had a great week.
Of course I made everyone head out to the beach one evening for pictures...

-eats every 2-3 hours during the day and starting to have long stretches at night :)
-loves to sit in his bouncy seat and smile at his "friends" on the toy bar. This lasts for about 20 minutes then he is ready to be picked up!

-loves his brother! Watches him all the time and gives him the biggest smiles

Look at those rolls!

First Bottle

Birthday

Wyatt had a "ball" sports themed 3rd birthday party.  It was a fun day filled with family and friends at our house celebrating our little man!  Like any good party, there was pizza, plenty of sweets (cupcakes, cakes, cake pops), swimming in his clothes in the backyard baby pool, and tons of gifts!  It also happened to be Nanny's big 50th birthday, and Conrad's big debut, so there was lots to celebrate!

My first attempt at cake pops.  Luckily, 3-year-olds only care if they taste good (and they did)!
