Amazing Wyatt

I have to brag about what an amazing little boy Wyatt is. He is only 3 1/2 months old and slept through the whole night last night. I put him to bed at 9:00 last night and he didn't wake up until 6:00 this morning. He slept for 9 solid hours. I thank my Heavenly Father every day for such a wonderful little boy and sweet little girls.

Happy Birthday Rich

Yesterday was Rich's 33rd Birthday. We invited his family over for dinner, cake and ice cream. We gave Rich the game 'Guitar Hero.' We had lots of fun seeing who could play better. Needless to say, we all need a lot of practice. Anyways, it was a really good time.
Here is a few pictures of the kids too. Wyatt and of course his smiley little self.
Happy Birthday Rich. WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Wyatt Loves His Thumb

Lately Wyatt has preferred his thumb over his binky. It's so funny to see such a small little boy with his thumb in his mouth and the rest of his hand over his eyes. He hasn't quite figured out to make a fist when he sucks on his thumb. He has great coordination of his hands too. I've been told that babies that suck their thumbs are content. I don't know...I've never had a thumb sucker before. I guess we'll see, but then you have to deal with breaking this nasty habit too. I just think he looks so cute when he sucks his thumb.

Feeding the Ducks

Yesterday after church we decided to take the girls to Salem Ponds and feed the ducks. There was a big snow goose there that was particularly fond of pecking at Rylie. I thought it was funny, but it made her cry. There was a Canadian Goose that was so nice and gentle. It would eat right out of your hand. Anyways, it was a fun way to spend some family time.

Funny Wyatt

Wyatt has been so much fun lately. He is starting to laugh, and he has the cutest laugh. He has figured out that he can make noises so he tries to talk a lot. Here are a few cute pictures we got of him. I wish we would have gotten this on video instead.

Wyatt Tries Baby Food

We have a joke at our house that if Wyatt is awake he is hungry. He is only 10 weeks old, but today we gave him a little taste of rice cereal and he really seemed to like it. Hopefully, this will fill his little tummy for a little longer and he won't always want to be eating.

Happy New Year

The stockings all lined up.

Wyatts stocking--he got a couple or rattle toys.



The new years baby was good to the kids this year. They scored on the candy :)

My grandma started a tradition when I was a kid that the New Years Baby filled the stockings on New Years Eve. She loved the Christmas holiday, but was so sad that it only lasted one day and how fast the day went. So she started this new tradition so the holiday would last longer. I think it is such a fun tradition, and I know everyone in my family has kept the tradition going.
