Big boy bath time

Ya, this little dude is taking baths unassisted now.  We had borrowed the bath tub bumbo from our friends and it was a life saver in bathing two boys together at the same time.  Mr. Wyatt Bear was starting to get frustrated by the toys always just slightly out of his reach so I decided to see what would happen if I just put him in the tub...low and behold, he survived!!!  I was a little psycho trying to keep one boy from splashing, drowning, washing, or bothering the other one, but it was pretty cute to watch my baby sit up in the tub all by himself!

Potty Time for Wesley

It finally happened...we were fighting a case of the summertime cold (UGH!) and I decided there was no better time than being stuck at home miserably sick to start potty training...truth be told I had marked it out on the calendar to start on Monday, but I decided why wait when we had a chance to start now.  The first day was rough, Little Guy begged for a diaper and found comfort in pooping outside (more on that later).  We decided to do diapers at nap time and bedtime- the first nap was dry and the next morning just a little wet.  Once I had one day under my belt, there was no stopping me.  My fault was offering a prize for even the smallest amount if urine- this kid can squeeze out a drip anytime he wants and my prize basket is already looking pretty depleted...I am not sure what we'll do come the trip to Indiana, but we are officially done with diapers for this dude!

11 months old

With just one more month until he's ONE, I am living in denial that my sweet baby Wyatt Bear is growing up.  This boy is cruising everywhere, so close to walking and loving to get into anything within his reach- even the stuff we were certain was out of his reach....  I love to watch him put his head down and turn on the turbo crawl to keep up with his brother.  There is not a day that goes by without someone commenting on just how incredibly happy he is...he is quite literally ALWAYS smiling, and if he's not smiling, he's really really really sad/crying/angry/mad.  We love you Mr. Wyatt Bear, here's to the last month of your official babyhood!

Locks of Love

Our morning started off nice and early (Little Guy thinks sleeping in is for wimps...) with both our boys in Mr. Wyatt Bear's crib.  We don't know how he does it, but whenever Little Guy goes in to get his brother, he manages to get in the crib.  It makes for a great morning photo op.

We followed up our early morning with a trip to Kids Gone Wild...we had A LOT of wiggling to get out and this is just the place to do it...while I was watching my boys play, I noticed Mr. Wyatt Bear's hair, and just how long his rat tail is getting!!!!!  I refuse to cut hair before the age one (Little Guy was well past two), but I think I'll be getting out my scissors July 3rd for a little clean up cut.

Rio 2

Every time we drive by the movie theatre, Little Guy asks to go see "Let it Go" (aka Frozen).  I explain that it's not in the theatre anymore, but other movies are...I decided today was a great day to go see one of those other movies.  There aren't many kiddo movies out so we decided on Rio 2. Thank goodness Gigi was free and wanted to come with us.  Mr. Wyatt Bear decided this would be a good place to practice his talking, and was more pleased with himself the louder and louder he got.  Little Guy was excited to eat popcorn and M&Ms.  We took a self imposed intermission to get our wiggles out and then Mr. Wyatt Bear and I decided to stay in the lobby.  No one made it to the end, but we had a great time.

Diaper Derby

The annual diaper derby was this weekend and we had high hopes for Mr. Wyatt Bear.  After his brother showed such promise two years ago only to crawl in the opposite direction at the bell, we were putting all our trophy hopes on this little dude.  Well, Mr. Wyatt Bear did not like the pressure and decided that crawling even one step away from his daddy was NOT going to happen.  It was a little anti-climatic, but we all had fun watching.  Our friend Miss Sofia took home first place, she bypassed the crawling all together and just walked to the finish line.

My Favorite Animals

Today we were on our way to Brady's graduation party when Little Guy informed us that is favorite animals are giraffes, lions, and sea horses...where does he get this stuff?  We had a blast celebrating in Martinez, especially with the boys and Miss Peyton in coordinating outfits...do you think we got a picture?  Of course not- between my boys napping before the party and putting us a little late and Peyton needing to nap after the party and leaving a little early, we didn't snap any photos.
