A few pics from this month...

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)!

Good big brother

4th of July

My favorite holiday!! Too bad it was crazy hot and too dry for any fireworks :(. We still managed to enjoy Brownsburg's fourth of July parade (in the shade!) and spent the rest of the day inside!

Wyatt's first sparkler!  Of course he burnt his finger and it wasn't dark out yet :-(  Parent Fail

Snakes!  Went a little better than the sparkler :-)

Cute Boys!

Father's Day

The boys and I are so lucky to have this guy in our lives! He is a great daddy and hubby! Wyatt asks every morning "where is daddy...at work or golf?" :). He loves to play any kind of ball and video games with his Dad. Any time something is broken, he always says "daddy will fix it when he gets home"!
Fathers day this year was not very exciting since Conrad was only 5 days old. We did have our first outing as a family of 4...to Dick's Sporting Goods to pick out daddy's gift (a golf club of course!). Then enjoyed an evening outside practicing with the new club. Pretty good day :)

Big Brother

Wyatt has been such a good big brother. He has done so well with baby Conrad, from the moment that they met in the hospital. He is a big helper to Mommy, getting her burp cloths, diapers, whatever I ask him for while I am nursing. He is so gentle with Conrad (when he is paying attention) and loves to give him little kisses and talk to him. We have had a few meltdowns and rough times, but I think that has more to do with being 3 and giving up his naps (which mommy misses alot). Naptime has always been a struggle with Wyatt and now I don't have the time or energy to make him nap, so it usually doesn't happen. Luckily, he has been sleeping in and I can usually at least get him to lay down for some quiet tv time in the afternoon. He has probably been eating more junk food than he should (he can get into the cabinets and fridge by himself) and watching more tv than he should, but I think we are doing ok :). Pretty soon, he will be starting preschool (aug 13) and I will be heading back to work in September, so we will enjoy the time that we have together!!

Meeting for the first time :-)

Holding his brother.  Melt my heart!
