Here Comes Santa Claus....

I LOVE Christmas time and this year is so much more exciting having Wyatt here to celebrate with! We headed to Bass Pro on Friday night (which happens to be one of our favorite places!) to meet Santa for the 1st time. I was a little afraid that we wouldn't get a good pic, bc he would be distracted by everything going on around him, but just look at the pic. Pretty adorable, if I might say so :)
(P.S. If you need a place to take your kiddos to see Santa, this was great! We didn't wait in line and it is FREE!)

So Thankful :)

We had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving break. We got to spend 5 nights at my parents and my brothers family did too. It was so fun to get to spend so much time with them and their precious little girl. Thanksgiving day was spent with my mom's side of the family and then Aaron's family. On Friday, we headed to Maysville for a day with my Dad's side. We had a great time visiting with everyone and ate WAY too much yummy food :)

Cousins :)

Gooo Pokes! (okay... so the game didn't go as we hoped, but don't we look cute?!)


These next two are part of our attempt at a photo shoot of the kiddos in their matching pj's. We decided it's near impossible to get a pic of them both looking at the camera, but we still think they look great :)

Happy Half Birthday

(No pics with this post, bc we had some professional ones taken on Tuesday- in the freezing cold weather! Stay tuned to see some of the shots.)

Little Man-

You are now half of a year old. You are changing from our tiny little baby to our busy little boy. You laugh and smile all the time and are jabbering like crazy. I guess we can officially say your first word is "dada", though you say that to me too. Maybe I'm a bit jealous ;) You want to crawl so bad and it won't be too long before you do. You roll all over the place! You are finally starting to sleep much better. You've been making it through most of the night, which is wonderful for mommy and daddy! You're also eating great these days. You have done wonderful with your baby food, except peas. I don't blame you though, I don't eat them either :)
You have made these past 6 months wonderful. I love you little man- you are a blessing beyond word!

Double Trouble!

This afternoon my great friend Annie and her little boy Jay came over. Jay is 4 months older than Wyatt and quite the little busy body these days (which was a great heads up for me on what I need to do to the house to baby proof for when Wyatt gets mobile!) The plan was to get some cute pics of the boys together in their oh so cute "Double Trouble" shirts. The boys however had plans of their own. When one was looking at the camera, the other was looking away, when one was happy, the other got sad... You get the idea. Not to mention, they get joy out of trying to grab each other's faces! It did make for some good laughs and we got a couple of cute pictures. I think in a few years we really will have Double Trouble on our hands!

Puppy Love

As most people know, Skooter was our first baby. I've had him since I was in college and he's been there with me through all my big moves. We were a little nervous to see how he would be when we brought Wyatt home, but it went just fine. I do think at first it was an adjustment for him to not get all of our attention. Now, Wyatt just loves Skooter. He watches him all the time and tries to reach and grab him- it is so cute! One day, he managed to grab Skooters face with both hands and since everything he touches goes straight to the month, that's what he tried to do with Skooters face! Skooter has been great though. Of course, there is the occasional puppy kisses on Wyatt's face :) I can't wait until he is older. I think they are going to be best buds.

I thought it was fitting to add a pic of Wyatt in his adorable puppy hooded towel. I LOVE hooded towels as it is, but this one is my favorite! It even has a little tail on the back. Thanks Nanna for the great gift :)

1st Halloween

Wyatt got all dressed up for his very first halloween! I might be alittle partial, but I'm pretty sure he the cutest tiger you'll ever see :)

One tired little tiger....

Mommy and Daddy even dressed up for a party on Friday night
