Back to Work

Well it's that time of year...back to school! I went back on Monday and the students came back on Thursday. And no, I didn't get a first day of school picture taken like mom used to! The first week went really well...I hope it will be a great year!

I was worried about bringing Wyatt back to daycare, but surprisingly he was happy to be back. He had fun playing with Kathi's two daughters (Kathi's our daycare lady...who by the way I absolutely love!) before they started back to school and the other little ones there. I know other moms will agree with me when I say having a great daycare provider sure does make life so much nicer! Last year most of the kids were preschool age, but this year they are pretty little. Currently Wyatt is the youngest, but she will be getting a baby around fair time. It will be interesting to see how he does around an infant!

New Discoveries

Wyatt has really started getting around....and into EVERYTHING! Here he is pulling out all of the burp clothes from a canvas tote. When Brian or I put them back into the tote he just has to pull them back out.

Here he is staring and talking to himself in the full length mirror in our extra bedroom. This has become a favorite thing to do in the morning while I'm finishing getting ready for school. He loves to wave at the 'little boy' in the mirror...so cute!

Lastly, here is Wyatt discovering how fun it is to play under his highchair. Just this morning I found him investigating the underside of it. He probably did this for almost a half an hour!

It's so fun to see what new things he finds everyday!

Fun in the Sun

I refilled the pool....where it wouldn't kill the grass....and Wyatt's cousins Grace and Emilia came up and swam with him. I think everyone had a good...wet time, including my sister Kelli and myself....splashing seemed to be the theme of the day! After their swim we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Linn's for a great summer time meal of cheeseburgers and corn on the cob! Yum Yum!

A Couple Videos

Here is Wyatt 'walking'.

And 'talking' to the light.

Fun in the Sun

We finally got out our kiddie pool today and filled it up for Wyatt. He loved it!

Brian even joined in on the fun and climbed in....what a big kid!

On the Move

Wyatt is now standing...I know...I can't believe it either!!! I think once he goes back to daycare on Monday and sees all of the other kids walking it won't be long until he is walking as well. He stands for ten to twenty seconds at a time and then sits down. His little legs just aren't strong enough yet. Walking...I'm not sure we are ready for that yet!

As I said earlier, Wyatt goes back to daycare on Monday....because I have to go back to work. I think I'm ready to go back, but I'm sure those first few days will be hard to part with him in the morning. However, it will be nice to spend most of my days with people who can hold up their end of a conversation...and not just babble at me!

Man in Action

Here is Wyatt surrounded by toys...he's really playing independently these day.

Just like his dad....Wyatt is a dancing machine......(that's sarcasm for those who have never seen Brian dance before!)

Pacifiers

So I am trying to get Wyatt to sleep more consistently through the night....thus I have place three pacifiers in his crib....so he can always find one in the middle of the night. Well, the last few times I've taken him out of his crib he's got one in his mouth, one in his left hand, and one in his right hand.........It's quite the sight! He just doesn't want to let go. Eventually...with a little yanking he will part with two of them....and if you couldn't guess.....he keeps the one in his mouth!
