Blankets for Lil Brother!

Wyatt's Turn!

My little man is just a couple of weeks away from turning TWO!!!! We're working on holding up 2 fingers but the bunny ears are hard for a little boys fingers to maneuver!!!

Proudly sporting his '1' shirt one last time. Soon he'll be one no longer. : (

Joe thinks this pic is hilarious. It's a boy-thing. Tackeling Daddy Wyatt had to try on Daddy's "fireman boots" but once he was in them he was completly stuck because they were so heavy!!!

The boys!

Wyatt's new thing is taking his own pictures... this is one of them!

Wyatt is in such a fun stage right now and I'm enjoying him more than ever! But he's also in a season that requires full-time training and correction which is an all-day endeavor! God is teaching me lots of lessons and refining my heart as I attempt to train and correct Wy guy... I'm humbled and often brought to my knees with conviction in my own heart, like when I'm telling Wyatt that God wants him to be PATIENT and self-controlled and I'm speaking to him with a completely impatient tone of voice!! : / Conviction... Ouch! And I've even had to ask for Wy's forgiveness already. I don't think he quite comprehends what he's agreeing to but he always gives Mommy a hug, so I think he's understanding more than I give him credit for!

Walkin' in Daddy's Shoes!

Wyatt was determined to try on Daddy's "fire boots" but couldn't seem to get his feet off the ground once he got them on! Hope this clip makes you smile!

6-week Update!

Our happy little man is now 6-weeks-old !!!!

Ike is such a CUDDLER... Doesn't he look so snuggly here? Big yawn and bright eyes! Wyatt can hardly resist give lil bro a kiss when he's anywhere within reach. It is so sweet! This is Isaac's famous "O" face right before he goes poo-poo And this is Wyatt mimicking the "O" face!!!!

Joe was gone 3 days last week, home for a night, and on the road again this whole week. Wow! It was quite a transition from having him home full-time for 5 weeks to away full-time for almost 10 days. It sure made me appreciate my hubby and his partnership even more.

This week was CRAZY but fun and we survived!!!! Isaac had one 24-hour crying spell... and it was literally a whole 24-hours. Yikes. The Lord continued to give me small splahes of grace at just the right moments during my days. He infused strength and patience when I felt like I was all out!!! Fortunately, Isaac was back to his content little self on Tuesday and I was ever so grateful! And Wyatt was a trooper, being mr. independent for most of the day while his lil brother cried and cried and cried....

5-Weeks and Counting!

Almost TWO!

Yep, Wy guy is now 23-months-old and will soon be a big TW O-year-old. I think this will be the turning point where Mommy will have to stop counting monthly birthdays. : ( How did my baby grow up so fast? I sure do miss my baby boy but I love the little man he is today even more!!!!

Such a HAM

Can Mommy ever get a 'normal' smile???

Wyatt loves to build... We make lots of forts in his closet!

This is Wy's favorite outfit--He'd wear it every day if I let him! ROAR! Loves to vacuum!

Fun Facts About Our 23-Month-Old:

WYATT...

• is full of PERSONALITY these days and loves to be silly and make us LAUGH!
• is quite a STORY TELLER... This little boy does not forget a detail and has such and IMAGINATION.
• loves to SHARE his snacks... If Wy gets a snack then Mommy or Daddy must also. (This has not been a very good thing for my post-pregnancy weight loss plan! :)
• loves to put in HAIR GEL to look like Daddy... He has to stand on the vanity to watch the transformation.
• loves play-doh ("pee-doh") right now and coloring
• like to watch himself make faces in the mirror while attempting to brush his teeth before bed... this is one of my favorite times of the day b/c Wyatt makes me laugh so hard!
• now says Mommy instead of Mama and Thanks instead of Thank you.
• still love to vacuum. This makes my task twice as long as it should be because Wyatt and I have to take turns... He is definitley my helper.
• directs us to "sit" with a point exactly where he wants us to be. And if you stand, you will get firm orders to "sit" again... and he just might close the door to lock you in the room!
• slept in his big boy bed for the very first time and slept for 2.5 hours during naptime. We've still got work to do but at least Wyatt is now showing interest in the big bed.
• can draw a (jagged!) CIRCLE and counts to TWO!
• has been working on his colors but shows very little interest... At least Daddy knows that Wyatt won't be a fashion designer or decorator!!! : )
• is the BEST big brother! He has been such a natural in his new role and is very affectionate towards Isaac.
• says that he and Mommy are "buddies". Oh, I love this little boy!
• is now praying for his family... If Daddy is praying then Wyatt reminds him to pray for Mommy and Baby. I love his sweet little heart!
• For the first couple weeks after Isaac was born we explained to Wyatt that I couldn't pick him up b/c I had a boo boo... Now he says "Cut... Baby... Boo Boo". He understand the c-section process pretty well, I'd say! ; )
• is overall in such a fun stage... I just wish I got more time with each of my 3 boys!
