Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!

Prior to Thanksgiving, Mr. Wyatt wasn't feeling so hot. He couldn't get over a month long ear infection, so...ear tubes went in.  He was a real trooper and has been doing much better since.

Such a tired little baby.  One minute he is playing with Daddy and the next...

I don't know what is going on here, but I don't think I like it

Gwen keeps saying "It will all be just fine." How does she know?  It's almost like she has done this before!

The little man couldn't sit still 

After Wyatt's surgery, he wasn't very happy.  But, Gwen knew just how to cheer him up!

Happy Thanksgiving Early!  And the wishbone goes to...Gwen!

Poppy, Wyatt, and a balloon.  What more could you want? 

I love this balloon! 

Gwen modeling her Thanksgiving shirt

Wyatt loved playing with Kelley! 

Getting a little too active inside the house...Gwen was sent outside to play.  This was after she poured salt and pepper all over the dining room table that was set for dinner..."Gammy said to put the salt and pepper on the table!"

Bubba came out just in time to get traced and added to the driveway art

Gwen and Lilly decided hiding under the table was a great game

Lilly thought Wyatt was very interesting

My crew...we love you Daddy!

Gammy and Bubba's little munchkins!

We aren't big on shopping on Black Friday, but we are all about heading to the zoo!!!!!

Gwen got close and personal with a snow leopard! 

Wyatt really like the animals; when he could find them.

Checking out all the cool animals

Gwen loved her first dolphin show!!!!!

Wyatt loved the action too!

A little photo cutout pic is always fun!

Santa visited Glen Ellyn to light the town Christmas tree!  Gwen couldn't believe he came all the way there!

"High five, Kelley!"  Wyatt learned how to clap right before we came for our visit, but giving high fives are still a favorite of his! 

Oh, and we can't forget to mention that Wyatt is pulling up on EVERYTHING and he has his 3rd tooth!

Covering hands with butter is a must when making rice krispy treat balls!

Then you can dip them in chocolate... 

The next thing you know, you have a Turkey Pop!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Great Grandma D.!

Gwen has a story to share!!!!! (Especially for you Lilly!)

Where's Gwen????

Wyatt didn't know what to think this weekend when Gwen wasn't home!  Gwen went with Gram on a road trip to Arkansas to visit Auntie A--that is another story for another blog though.  Wyatt stayed home with Brad and I, and my what a difference it is to go back to having one!!!!  We didn't know what to do!  I accomplished a lot of Christmas shopping, cleaning, and just getting to spend some time with Wyatt on the floor!

Look who pulled up in his crib!!!!

Hey Mommy! Welcome to the floor!

Do you want a bite?  I can share...

Gwen always takes the animals, so I only know how to play with the barn.  You really put the animals in? 

I can't quite walk walk with it, but I can crawl and push it!

I'm working on pulling up using my toys too!

I'm 8 months old today!!!!

Wyatt's laugh is too cute!  So much fun to listen to!

Belly is up!!!!  No more army crawling around here!

Happy Halloween!!!!

Halloween this year was a whole lot of fun!  We all tried new things and had a great time in the end.

Check out how Wyatt can now eat his feet! I think he has a thing for feet 

They are learning how to share...Gwen didn't know what to do when I brought the farm out for Wyatt, but she is getting much better about not stealing all the animals and leaving him with the barn.

Wyatt trying to big like the big boys and wear Daddy's hat...and then play peek-a-boo with it

We started out as Little Bo Peep and her Lost Sheep, then Gwen decided that was NOT okay and she was going as Princess Gwen (She agreed to wear the Bo Peep dress, but no hat or staff)...Finally we all agreed that Mary had a Little Lamb was okay.

Such a cute Little Lamb!  And he is waving!

Cinderella (Gracie), Mary (Gwen), and a Little Lamb (Wyatt)...What a bunch!

Wyatt started out playing by the chest and army crawled to this point in just minutes! Wow, how he changes so quickly!

Look!  Wyatt does look like me!!!!!

Wyatt can wave!!!!!! (only to Daddy and does he feel special!!!!)

Other Events:

Gwen is on her very first trip without Mom or Dad!  She went with Gram to visit Ashley Beth in Arkansas and will be there for 4 days!  

Wyatt is eating great!  He finally likes the baby food I make, but I have to blend it in the blender and then put it through a strainer!  He is up to eating peas, green beans, carrots, bananas, and apples (as of today). :-)  Wyatt also is pulling up on his own!  He was in his crib and stood up, so we had to move the mattress down...it was bound to happen some time.  He is doing really well pulling up and standing, but his knees aren't strong enough to hold him up for long.  I am pretty sure he too will be walking by Christmas just like Gwen did!
