Wyatt's World

It's been a LONG time since I've done a "Wyatt's World" post! Wyatt's latest LOVE is, believe it or not, COOKING! Cooking or baking... anything that has to do with different size bowls, different size spoons, food, and mixing and stirring! He just loves it. He "helps" me to cook almost every meal, which makes for some interesting times in the kitchen. And if I don't need his "help" ;) sometimes I let him make his own creation. All throughout the day he asks me if we can cook, LOL. I hope he actually hangs on to his love of the kitchen!!
So we made muffins not to long ago and he was in his spot and ready to help. I decided to set up the video camera so you can get a glimpse of him in action. I also LOVE this video because he just doesn't stop talking. And he is mostly repeating everything I say =)

Helping make eggs...

 

His first cookie batter!

 

Some of his own creations

 

 

 

 

 

Some of these pictures go back to February, so he is going 2 months strong on this activity. I hope I have a life long helper in the kitchen!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Easter 2013

We had an awesome, awesome Easter Sunday! Our church service was an amazing time of celebrating that Jesus is ALIVE! Our Easter tradition after church is to head to Fredericksburg for the day. And it also happened to be Tyler's mom's birthday so we were able to celebrate with her too! The Easter bunny visits Grandma's house, so the egg hunt was ready to go =) And Wyatt had such a blast! (I have to say that we went to the big easter egg hunt on Saturday at our church.... And that was not quite Wyatt's style! He was so antsy to go get the eggs but we had to wait until it was time, and then when it was time he threw himself on the grass and had a nice 2 year old tantrum, haha... there were just to many people and to much going on) So anyways, a hunt all by himself was right up his alley....

(You know how it's weird hearing your own voice on video.. yeah, that's how I feel about this one, LOL)

 

 This picture makes me laugh... he was SO serious, lol

 

 He loved opening them all up

 

 He especially loved the ones that "crushed" and had "sprinkles"

 

He was saying, "RAIN!" =)

 

And this picture just makes my heart HAPPY...

 

 

 

Wyatt has been in a major anti-camera stage for a few months now. It has been impossible to get pictures of him (and with him), which is the main reason I also haven't blogged near as much! lol I have very few pictures since he turned 2. We figured we'd give it a try and I am SO happy to have a good (recent) family picture again =) Maybe he is coming out of his anti-camera phase!

 

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend celebrating!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy 2013!

The first 2 weeks of the New Year have officially gone by in the blink of an eye! I have a few posts I need to get to, but I have to post at least a little something about Christmas! Surprisingly, my folder from Christmas Day has very few pictures!! (shocker, I know)  But that's because Wyatt wanted nothing to do with the camera.... he actually got MAD when I would try to take his picture, even while he was opening presents! Little stinker. I did manage to get a few that are worth sharing =)

Opening Presents

This was on the way to church, in his outfit from Great Aunt Debbie! His hands were covering the train so I said, "Let me see your train" and this is what he did, LOL.. 

As soon as we got home from church he wanted to paint with his new paint set!

During lunch, checking out the food tray my Grandparents sent from Minnesota

He picked out the 2 little pieces of candy (no, he did not get to eat them)

And that's all I have from Christmas Day! I'll just remember it was the year Wyatt wouldn't let me take pictures, lol We rung in the New Year with my mom and brother visiting us! Pics to follow...

Merry Christmas Eve! and a Birthday Video

Merry Christmas Eve! It's just me and little man today as Tyler is working until 7:30, which is kind of a bummer, but I'm thankful he has such an awesome job that is one of our biggest blessings in 2012 so it's ok =) He is off tomorrow and we will cook breakfast, open presents, go to church, and relax the rest of the day....

On Saturday, Wyatt had his 2nd mini birthday party with his Grandma and Grandpa here in Texas. He was MUCH more into opening his presents this time which was SO FUN. He even tried soo hard to blow out his candles! And of course I didn't get it on video, but Gammy did so I'll have to get it from her! We just had to post this video of Wyatt opening a present from my mom... He has never reacted to a present before like this so it was just hilarious! We have watched it over and over. It's really just the beginning of the video but I uploaded the whole thing...

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH to all our family (and friends!) who sent gifts for Wyatt's 2nd birthday. It made it SO special for him and us! =) Love to all!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Wyatt!

Wyatt turned 2 on Wednesday! Since Tyler doesn't go into work until 11, we had a little birthday celebration with just the 3 of us that morning. (I didn't do a big party with friends this year, which I was feeling a little guilty about, but after having such a sweet, stress-free time with just us, I couldn't be happier with that deicison =) ) So, Tuesday night after he went to bed we hung up streamers on his doorframe, in the dining room and in the kitchen. I hung up a birthday banner and got him a birthday balloon. Tyler blew up about 20 small balloons that we just had on the living room floor and then we set out half of his presents for him to open (from my side of the family).
 When we brought him out of his room Wednesday morning he was in awe! He noticed and pointed to every little thing! It was so special to my mama heart. We had a little birthday breakfast and opened presents. Here's a little peek into our morning singing, "Happy Birthday" to him....

 

(I have a candle lit in the kitchen almost every day that he loves blowing out, but of course he didn't want to blow out his birthday candles! lol)

 

Teddy Bear toast

 

 

He LOVED his balloon.. he held it the entire time he ate and then it did not leave his side alllll day, too funny

 So excited

 So proud of his banner by his table =)

 

 The aftermath, with the tornado running through ;)

 

 New fridge magnets

 

Later in the day (and still in jammies) we watched "UP" and he sat and watched with his balloon in hand

 

The morning is his best time of day so we had such a sweet celebration. This boy was spoiled rotten from family so tomorrow we are having another mini birthday party with Tyler's parents and opening his presents from his side of the family!

 

I'll do his usual update after his 2 year Dr. appt. next week!

 

P.S. Our Christmas tree is having lighting technical difficulties, don't judge, HA
