A trip down south

So, Wyatt and I had the opportunity to go see my mom and my brother, his wife, and his newborn daughter. 

Here is the crew!

Because the flight wasn't full, Wyatt got to ride in his car seat on the plane. He behaved for the most part. He got a little squirmy towards the end, but at least there were no breakdowns.

Wyatt and Kayla became instant friends. Wyatt is double her weight, and I think these pictures show it!

  I'm not sure whether Wyatt was trying to cuddle with Kayla or eat her, but either way  it is inappropriate to  spoon with or bite your cousin. 

 This is my adorable niece with Grandma Jean. I love that little smile!

Kayla makes some great faces!

Wyatt got to take a bath in a pink tub and use Kayla's cool duck towel. Pretty cute!

My mom put this headband on Wyatt to show me that it will fit Kayla when she gets bigger. 

This reminds me of Chiquita Banana!

I love this photo of my baby!

Wyatt wanted to play airplane with Kayla...I loved that game as a kid.

And then, he had enough of her babbling.

She didn't like his attitude, so she let him know that two can play at that game.

One day we drove down to South Padre and decided to pay the beach a visit. 

Too bad the water was ice cold and the winds were 30 mph. 

This is Heather and I on the beach.

So, we took it as an opportunity for a photo shoot with some very cooperative babies!

Wyatt seemed so natural with his arm around little Kayla!

I think that Wyatt is thinking "Where's the milk I asked for? Bring me my drink!"

"A water bottle will do!"

"Who bought these ridiculously large but fabulous sunglasses?!"

Here. Wyatt is trying to peak through my nursing cover. Wyatt never wants to miss a moment of fun.

My little man and his mama

"I love the sun!"

"Let's turn this into a dance party! Everybody do the sprinkler!"

"Um, yes. I will take another drink."

"Yolo! Spring break 2013. South Padre Island. What up?"

Wyatt loves his grandma!

Don't mess with Texas...or Wyatt!

I think my son is just the cutest thing ever!

Take a trip back to the 80's with the sideways cap.

Cutest. picture. ever. 

Second. cutest. picture. ever.

"People watching is the best on the beach. It's like a cooking show for babies."

I love the way he looks at her. He loves her!

Kayla and Aunt Rebecca

"You talkin' to me?!"

 Family picture at the beach!

Some pics of the kids in their St. Patrick's Day outfits.

Wyatt: "And, this is exactly why I don't want to watch chick flicks with you."

Kayla: "I just hate when Rachel and Ross break up!"

Wyatt: (to himself) "Just remain calm. Agree with anything she says."

Wyatt and his pretty grandma!

 Some close ups 

 Wyatt and Uncle Brett

Cuties!

Wyatt: "You had me at hello."

We had a fabulous time with Grandma and Brett and his beautiful family. 

I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family. I can't wait till the next family visit!

Growing up

Wyatt is growing up and that means he has hit a few milestones.

Wyatt doesn't like to be left out, so we let him sit in his high chair with us at the table. He doesn't eat solid foods yet, so instead he slobbers all over his chew toys.

 

Wyatt has also discovered new ways to play with his toys. Rather than just laying on his play mat, he uses it to make a fort.

Wyatt can also now play with bath toys. He loves to eat his rubber ducky.

Wyatt also loves to eat his towel after his bath. He acts as though it is an exciting game to catch the towel and put it in his mouth.

We bought Wyatt a Jumparoo and he absolutely loves it! The first time he got in it, he didn't know how to jump in it because his legs were too short. We put a board game under him and then he knew exactly what to do. He wore himself out so much that he fell asleep in it! Twice in one day! He would be playing and then all of a sudden I would hear silence. so I'd go over and he was passed out! What a funny little baby!

 

Wyatt is also a pro at rolling over and sometimes he can be pretty quick. My little baby is growing so fast but I am loving every minute of it. It is exciting to see a little baby discover the world around him. Wyatt reminds me that each day is a gift and that there is so much in this world to be grateful for.

Everything is little except...

One of the greatest things about babies is that everything on them is small! They have little hands, little toes, little ears, little tongues, little lips. We love that about babies. I love that everything is small on my son Wyatt. It makes him that much more cute. BUT, there is one thing that is not small: Boogers! Why are Wyatt's boogers so huge? I know we live in West Texas, home of the dust bowl, but Wyatt's nose is small and it seems like too much booger for just a little guy. Well, I still love my son but his boogers aren't cute. I'm not sure that I would think they were cute if they were smaller but I guess I will never know.
