Fun in Chicago!

We had a very fun day in Chicago with some friends! The sun was shining and the sky was blue...It was a beautiful day in the windy city. Wyatt got his first tour of Daddy's office then we headed to the zoo. Lions, Tigers, and Bears ... Oh my, Wy guy LOVED the animals!!!!!

Feeling very professional in Daddy's desk chair!

First visit to the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago!

Up close and personal with the otters.

Peek-A-Boo!

No fear (even of snakes)!

Lil Safari dude trying to be so independent.

13-Months-Old Today!

Do I look a little bit like my dad in this outfit, or what?

Wyatt is into everything these days...and definitely TAKING CHARGE of the world around him!!!! He is still our 'little warrior', but with a very sweet heart. Wyatt can certainly hold his own, even among the "big kids" at daycare (He just moved up to the one-year-old room). His teachers laugh because they normally have to protect the younger ones, but little Wyatt seems to manage on his own! Mommy sings Wy guy a song that goes something like this..."My Wy is so big, so strong and so mighty...There's nothing my Wy cannot do!"

P.S. Thanks for my handsome outfit, Grandma Becky!

Oh Glorious Day!

Happy Easter! Indeed it was and is a GLORIOUS DAY rejoicing in the RESURRECTION OF OUR SAVIOR!!!!! : ) Easter 2009 It is so hard to believe that our little man was only one-week-old last Easter. This year he was carrying his own Easter basket and having lots of fun hunting for eggs so independently. What a difference a year will make in the life of a little one. And what a difference he's made in our lives as well... Easter 2008 My B-I-B-L-E!

Hat ON... Hat OFF. And this is how the morning went!

Discovering his Easter basket...

Rock Star!

Is this a pose, or what?

Emptying out his basket in a hurry...

Still playing with Easter eggs all the way up until bed time!

(Mommy even found one in the toilet!!!! : )

Good Night!
