Dentist

Little Guy braved the dentist today!  We were all set to tackle this trip with the help of Gigi, but she came down with a gnarly cold and was home sick in bed :(  Little Guy wasn't too sure of the mask the assistant was wearing, but after it was thrown in the trash and the cool light was turned on, he was manageable.  I won't go as far as to say he liked it, that would be a blatant lie, but he tolerated it and received a clean bill of health from the dentist!  He did suggest we start flossing his front teeth....riiiiggghhhtttt, clearly he hasn't seen what a struggle it is just to brush his teeth, flossing may put us both over the edge!

We were lucky that Auntie Cari and Brian were game for some company on their Costco shopping trip- Little Guy had fun perusing the aisles of Costco, checking out the light up choo choo and ending his trip with a brand new fire fighter rain jacket from Auntie Cari (talk about well loved!)

Painting Pumpkins

Today we did a little post nap art session with our baby pumpkins.  Little Guy is obsessed with baby "papas" as he calls them- it makes it tricky to follow his stories when you're not sure if he's talking about his grandpas or pumpkins, but nonetheless, he loves all his "papas" and today we painted three of them.  Mr. Wyatt Bear got in on the action too- I think I am in trouble as soon as both of them can hold a paint brush!  Little Guy was in love with painting, he wanted more more more- I finally had to pretend the paint was all gone before the sidewalks and driveway became decorated as well.  Little Guy wasn't a huge fan of his smock, he kept telling me "No smock mommy, no smock", and to be honest, other than keeping his shirt clean, it didn't really do much...we went straight to the bath tub when we were finished!

Playgroup Pumpkin Patch

We hit up Silveyville Pumpkin Patch for our second annual trip with our playgroup buddies.  This year Mr. Wyatt Bear and Miss Sofia joined in on the fun.  It's crazy to think that last year I was pregnant with Mr. Wyatt Bear and didn't even know it yet.  Our boys have all gotten so big, where does the time go?? We enjoyed a train ride (really just flatbed trailers pulled by a tractor, but Little Guy called it a train), feeding the ducks, an ATV train ride, haystack slides, bubbles, pumpkins, and lunch with our buddies.  We can't wait to bring Daddy back, we know he'd love dog that leads the ATV train and opens all the gates as you go :)

Mr. Wyatt Bear was in the spirit the night before with his skeleton pjs!

Little Guy is king of the hay mountain!

All the babes and their mamas taking a ride to the duck pond!

Landon and Little Guy, along with Noah and Mr. Wyatt Bear, had matching shirts...Little Guy was clearly not happy to say "Cheese!"

Our whole gang, minus the two tiniest members :)

Not ones to be forgotten, they posed in the stroller- love the smile Mr. Wyatt Bear!

Family Fun Day

We decided to spend Sunday afternoon hanging out somewhere fun, and what could be more fun that riding the train???  Little Guy LOVES trains, but today when we bought the train tickets, he freaked out and started begging "No all aboard, no choo choo, no all aboard, no tickets please"....we aren't sure why he wanted nothing to do with the train, but after some convincing he loaded up and enjoyed the ride.  He was happiest snuggled close to Daddy and kept reminding us that it was loud- he really hates anything loud.  The merry go round, on the other hand, was a huge success...he wanted to ride a dinosaur, but they didn't have any so he settled for the panda bear.  What a nice way to wind down the weekend!

Love us some baseball and football

Last night we had a tailgate BBQ at Gigi and Papa's to kick off the Oakland A's post season...it was a great tailgate but a sad game...let's hope the A's can rally back in game two!  Keeping up with the sports themed weekend, Daddy went to the Stanford football game with Auntie Heather and Chris today and had a great time at his first trip to the Cardinal's stadium.  I know one day soon enough there will probably be two little boys wanting to tag along on that trip :)

Thumb sucker

Our sweet Little Wyatt Bear may be a thumb sucker...he refuses the paci and don't even have the energy to try a bottle, but he LOVES his thumb, his whole fist in fact.  He's been a sucker since day one so I was sure he would love the paci, but this boy is all about the real deal...he wants a boob 100% of the time but since that's not an option, he's decided his thumb will have to do.  Little Guy never had a paci or thumb, so I am not sure how rough habit breaking can be....but I am going to enjoy this preciousness for now.

            

3 Months Young

Mr. Wyatt Bear is 3 months old today....a quarter of a year old....91 days day old...need I keep going???  My point is he's getting big fast and I am not sure I can handle it!  I remember thinking time was flying by with Little Guy, but this is like triple time warp speed fast!  I can't believe the newborn days are over, the completely sleepless nights gone (for now at least), and my heart even fuller than I EVER imagined possible.  With every passing day Mr. Wyatt Bear grows as his own little person, with a look all his own and a smile that can literally stop old men in Costco to ask what his mommy does to make a baby so happy....Mr. Wyatt Bear, you have stolen our hearts, with your grin, your kicks, and your coos, we couldn't imagine a life without our sweet boy.  Happy three month birthday to the happiest baby I know (you take after your very happy big brother!)
