My little boy


My little boy is now 20 months! Almost two years old. I cannot believe it. I don't even know where to begin on this little love bug. He is such an amazing little boy. He has just amazed Cory and I with everything he has done since the day he was born. I remember his birth like it was yesterday and have been feeling a little emotional about the thought of it and how much joy he has brought into our lives. I feel so blessed to be able to spend my time with Wyatt and watch him change and grow. Right now he is entering in the phase where I find myself having a full on conversation with him and it makes me smile. He has been talking really well for quit some time now but he is saying sentences now and asking questions and it is just really fun. I look and Cory and say "Did you just hear what he said!" We then just laugh or smile at each other! He tells us "come outside with me", "lets play catch", "where did daddy go?", "go to Brody's house", "watch mickey mouse", "Jiggies bit me", "daddy painting mommy", "What you doing?" "Want berry milk", "nakey boy mommy!" and they just keep coming! He loves balls still and I think always will! I love how excited he gets when he sees one of his balls on the floor. He acts like it had been missing for days or that it is the first time he has ever seen a ball! He treasures and loves each and everyone of his footballs, baseballs, marbles, bouncy balls, golf balls, and all the other ones in his collection. He has a love of bats and hitting anything he is allowed to hit. One of the reasons why our TV has to now be replaced! (Although that was on the do not hit list along with Jiggs!) He rides his cousin Brody's scooter like a pro now and loves to ride it! He has a new love of Mickey mouse and at the beginning of each cartoon when Mickey asks if the viewer wants to go to the mickey mouse club house, Wyatt enthusiastically sais Yeah! Wyatt is a little lover and gives the best little hugs and the best little kisses. He sometimes just comes up to me and gives me the biggest squeeze that just melts my heart. He is getting use to the water but doesn't love it at this point. He will not run through a sprinkler and if there is to much splashing in a baby pool he stays clear. He has just recently gone in the big pool for the summer and felt comfortable with someone holding him. He has now learned to jump off the step or the edge of the pool at nonnies house. He loves being around his cousin and usually follows them around doing what ever they are doing or saying! He is a very good eater and really eats well with a spoon and fork. When food is placed in front of him he is pretty focused like his daddy! He loves to help with anything Cory and I are doing. He loves to help with daddy in the garage or help with the lawn. He checks out where all the dog poop is and runs in to tell daddy that there is poop outside and he needs to come pick it up. Cory loves this!:) When I am cleaning around the house he loves to help. He loves to spray the windows with window cleaner and I give him a paper towel to wipe it up. He mostly just sprays though! I don't really mind until I see the cleaner forming a puddle!:) He has gone pee in the little potty several times now but is not consistent at it yet. He will say mommy peepee in the potty and run to the potty. This is usually only when he is a nakey boy because that is the rule! Although the other day he started crying and said peepee mommy come here. I went over by our bedroom door and he pointed to a wet spot and said "right there mommy!" I think he was trying to go on the potty but Brody scared him on the other side of the door and the pee just sprayed out. I had to laugh and say it was ok. He has a huge love of horses and loves to go out to grandma and grandpa rauch's house to see all the animals and ride the horses. I think he could spend all day on a horse! Every picture he sees of a horse he always sais "Grandpa's horse mommy." We love our little boy and love every minute he gives us!
