So...here are some of the things that our big boy has been up to...
He absolutely LOVES anything with wheels...especially motorcycles. I don't know why, but he calls them 'googles'. He will see one drive by and he starts screaming and pointing..."GOOGLES!" He called bicycles by the same name..until this week. Now..he is saying things more clearly and saying "Sic-kle". I have to bring the 'Things that Go' book to church that has all the pics of cars, trucks, etc. He gets so excited about them though..that he starts getting so excited and wants to point at every wheel, etc. I try to quiet the storm until after a few seconds..his shouts of "Car" can't be quieted anymore. I am a regular in the Cry Room..since I get paged every Sunday when I try to leave him in the nursery. Anyone else out there have the same problem??
He likes to point and label the different parts of his and Mommy's face. He talks about the eyes, nose, etc. He was sitting on the bed after his morning nap one day last week and was going through the routine of pointing at my eyes...and saying "Eye!", etc...Well, I am not one of those envious people that has great skin all the time and I happened to have a blemish on my chin..and Wyatt almost seemed alarmed and kept pointing at it and threw his hands up in this questionable babble of.."What is that?!" I told him it was a Boo-Boo..and after a brief pause, he started to point at all of the Boo-Boos on my face... And laughing at the same time. Nice.
Right now he wakes up between 6:30 and 7:30am..and takes his first nap at 10:00am. I'm trying to take out his second nap (which he takes around 4:00) b/c it's so much easier for him to go down at night without it. Some days he's fine without, but other days (like today)..he is so cranky in the afternoon..that I give in.
He is wearing 18-24 months to size 2T in shirts and size 18-24 months in pants. I haven't taken his height or weight measurements in a few months, but the other kids at the park that I think or his same age...are always 5 or 6 months older.
His personality is coming out all the time. I like watching him on the playground with other kids and see him willingly share things with the others. I know there will probably come a day where I am constantly having to remind him to share, but for right now..everyone is his friend.
Matt and I both love it when we carry him and he will sometime gently pat our backs with his hands. He doesn't do it all the time, but we absolutely melt when he does.
He loves these ABC flashcards that have a picture on each side that begin with the same letter. I wasn't surprised that his favorite is the U card with the unicycle on one side..but I was surprised to see that the girl on the G card instantly brings a grin to Wyatt's face..and sometimes the unicycle is dropped and the girl is his new best friend. He likes the ladies and likes to wave at most of them that we encounter at the grocery store, restaurant..everywhere. If his wave doesn't get a reaction, he yells..."Hiiii!"...and then if they pass silently down the aisle without a glance, he shouts with determination...."Byyyyyeeee!"...hoping to get a reaction. When they finally nod or smile, he turns to me and grins with such pride in his pick up skills.
What can I say? The boy loves to play with sticks..or in this case a broken branch. If it doesn't pose some sort of risk, he's not interested. Lucky me.
Wyatt loves to play guitar with Daddy.
So..Wyatt got into my bag of things from college and pulled out a hat from a Siggie rush. The boy loves hats and always puts it on when he goes outside.
