Elmo

Wyatt has a new favorite- ELMO! (I think he ranks alittle higher than Mickey right now!) Aaron noticed a couple of weeks ago when he picked Wyatt up at Daycare that he was playing with a big Elmo and seemed to love it, he then kept saying "melmo". Since then, Wyatt has been recognizing Elmo anywhere he sees him, even the very small one on his diapers. On Monday when I picked him up from school, he tried to bring their Elmo home with us! So, last night at Target, we couldn't resist buying him this cute little talking Elmo doll. He's been carrying it around, saying "ELLLLmo" - it's too cute!

Elmo even ate breakfast with us this morning :)

No No! - part 2

Over the weekend, Wyatt said "NO NO!" alot! And let's just say, it's lost alittle of it's "cuteness". Maybe we encouraged it a bit too much in the beginning, because now he tells us "no" quite often. It's not so cute when your 16 month old tells you no and hits at you when you're trying to get his diaper changed and clothes on... And poor Skooter gets told "No No" all the time, even when he's just sitting there! So.... I'm hoping this phase passes quickly, but in the mean time we've got some work to do :)

No No!

Wyatt loves to say "No No" these days. (Maybe because he's heard it a time or two from us!) And even though it's probably not a good thing, we can't help but laugh when he does it. He sticks his little finger out and points at us when he says it! At first, he would just say it when he was doing something he knew he wasn't supposed to be doing. Then, he started saying it alot to Skooter, but the funniest thing is that if Aaron gives me a big hug and Wyatt sees- he'll look at Aaron and point at him and say "no no!" It is too cute!

I just hope he isn't saying this to his teachers at Daycare!!!

A Birthday Party!

Last weekend, our sweet niece Karis turned ONE! She is adorable and we are so glad that we were able to make the trip to Branson to go to her very first Birthday party. Mom, Dad, Wyatt, Aaron and I left early Saturday morning and got there just in time for the festivities. Lucky for us, her Birthday falls on Labor Day weekend, so we got to spend some extra time and enjoy the long weekend with family. It is so fun to spend time with the kiddos! Wyatt is the oldest grand at 16 months, with Karis right behind at one and little Kai is at 7 months old. Family gatherings just keep getting more entertaining and I can't wait till the next time we're together!

Wyatt loves Mickey! For a long time now, he's enjoyed watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. That theme song and the "Hot Dog" song at the end have been live savors for us on several road trips. Lately, he's really loved sitting with his big

Mickey and giving him hugs. It is so sweet! I hope that he likes Mickey for a long time, because I like him too :)
