19 months old

Wow!! It's been awhile since I've posted anything but this little one has definitely kept me super busy!!!

September/October was a busy time this year- we went up to Colorado for Nicki & Logan's wedding. The wedding was beautiful and we had a great time visiting the Rocky Mountain Natl. Forest and friends and family. However, while up there my computer broke and my mom got hit by a truck while crossing Lamar Blvd! I decided I had to go take care of my mom for a bit so I drove out with Wyatt (picking up Auntie Tess in AZ). We returned a month later (with Aunt Kim this time). Wyatt did remarkably well with the sleeping in different places and a total change in his routine. He loved visiting with Patricia and her kids, May and Madison, Aunt Kim and her family... Thanks to all the Austin crew for your help!


This last month alone, Wyatt has grown so much!!! He eats about twice as much as he was just a few weeks ago. For breakfast this morning, he ate, yogurt, a little bit of banana, 2 scrambled eggs and some cheerios. Then some graham crackers (or cookies) and milk right before nap... He eats about 2 chicken strips for lunch with some pasta or cheese. Snacks and then a huge dinner of whatever we're eating and then cookies and milk again before bath and bedtime. He used to love peas and sweet potatoes but now he's just liking meat cheese bread, sigh. I'm trying to sneak them in there but he's pretty clever this one... as of 12/15/09, he's about 31" tall and 22lbs.


He runs, he climbs, he loves buttons (remotes and pushing mine are specialties of his)... He got his first hair cut on my birthday (11.05). He helps me walk the dog by holding the leash (higher up than where I'm really holding it) and helps getting dressed and undressed. Over Thanksgiving, we were all sick and Wyatt cut all four of his fangs (incisors), now his molars are starting to come in, when will this teething thing end?! Ha!


We go on walks, go to the zoo or wild animal park, sea world, the park down the street, the library and feed ducks and he's still full of energy! The YMCA has a Gym for Kids class he likes- tumbling, tramp, foam pit, climbing, parachute, balance beam... one pooped kid after that! He blows kisses and gives hugs to everyone! He loves books and the library, and is actually starting to speak some other than the occasional 'RAR'... which he still does but at appropriate times of Hippo/tiger/lion or other rar-ing animal sightings. Up and Down are definite words. Ma Ma and Da Day. Please (PEEEEZE) and go, shoe and woof woof, wa wa for water, cuk for cookie/c monster, tuck for truck, gwap for grape, stuck, bed is bread, lanala is banana, snack, chup for chip, gga for egg, teev for tv and pex for plex from Yo Gabba Gabba, ba ba is big bird, nolno is elmo, chick for chicken, cup for anything to drink other than his water, pa pa for pasta... I'm sure there's more but I'm out of time for now.


until later... wy
