Christmas 2011

Wyatt really enoyed Christmas this year.  Or, I should say he really enjoyed the presents :)  He was not thrilled with some of the traditions we attempted to start.  1.)  elf on the shelf- He was pretty much scared of him.  The only time he would pay any attention to him is if he had candy to offer :)  2.)  Santa- meltdown the moment he got near him.  3.)  Baking cookies for Santa-kept insisting the cookies were "for Wyatt, not Santa".  Maybe next year!??
Things he did enjoy:  Christmas lights,  getting candy at the Christmas parade,  putting up and decorating the tree,  presents!!!!

He recovered pretty quickly from the Santa incident :)

Christmas Morning

One of my new favorite pictures...trying out one of his Christmas gifts with Daddy

Thanksgiving

As usual, I am trying to play some major blog catchup :). It's about time baby #2 gets some love on the blog. Don't worry, I have still been keeping a pregnancy journal and doing belly pics for this baby (so he isn't completely deprived), I just haven't had the chance to share them!! Thanksgiving was the day we announced our pregnancy to our families. Wyatt did the honors....

Everyone was excited....and then we ate lots of food :)

First belly shot at 12 weeks

 



Pumpkins

What a fun and busy fall we have had!  Here are some pics from our trip to the pumpkin patch and our pumpkin decorating party with the Abbott's and the Kluemper's...

He loved climbing on the straw bales!

Beach (and a birthday)

Here is a long overdue post from our beach vacation in August.  We rented a beach house in Panama City Beach, Florida and enjoyed a few days of sun and sand with my family.  Wyatt became quite the fish in the house pool once he got comfortable with his puddle jumper!  He still did not care for the sand or the waves at the beach though :(  He absolutely refused to walk in the sand!

Mommy and Wyatt on the beach

I tried every evening to see the sunset and the clouds kept rolling in and covering up my sunset :(

Most of the crew in front of our beach house :)

For my birthday, I finally got my perfect sunset :)

Family

Handsome boy on the beach :)

He loves his Uncle Casey!  (he really does, he was a little tired and over pictures at this point, haha)

My 30th birthday couldn't have been any better ;)

To top off our vacation and my birthday fun, Derek and I headed off for a few days of fun in Vegas!  Complete with  gambling, Cirque du soleil Love show, lots of food, and way too much walking!!

   

Bedtime...what!??

Sometimes, Wyatt gets a little wild and crazy as bedtime approaches (and passes).  Not exactly in a cranky way, just a won't-stop-moving-for-fear-of-falling-asleep way :)

Summer

So, I have been a total blog slacker this summer.  I won't make excuses (birthday parties, camping, Indians games, splash park), but I will try to do better in the next few months....maybe :)  For now, I am doing a catch up post of our summer fun before we head out to the beach this weekend!!

Momma's Boy

Happy Father's Day!!

Wyatt loves to slide!

No matter how many times he gets in trouble for going the wrong way, he still tries it every.single.time :)

He loves to play baseball

Watch out!!

He loves popsicles.  He will ask for one for breakfast, lunch, and dinner :)

Don't worry, he likes football too!

Cheese!

This is the face you get when the camera comes out and you say "Wyatt, say CHEESE!".  Makes me laugh every time :)
