My little guy Wyatt is growing up! I was on the computer yesterday organizing pictures taken almost a year ago, and I can't believe how much he has changed! He is not a baby anymore and he sure doesn't act like one either! Wyatt is so much fun to have around. I love watching him and find myself laughing at him all the time. He loves to be funny and make others laugh. Wyatt has always been such a happy person complete with a huge smile. Everyone loves him. He loves to play with his cars and now he even makes the noises. He knows all of the names of the cars he has, and the colors too and he can pick them out on the road. If he's ever cranky while in the car all we have to do is start calling out cars..."Oooh, there's a hummer, Wyatt! It calms him right away.
He loves puzzles, and is really good at them too. I like to think he's advanced, because the puzzles he puts together (on his own, mind you) are for 3-7 yr olds! :) He gets really excited when he obeys. Last night we had FHE and we were trying to get him to sit still through the lesson. If he obeyed we told him we would take him on a walk. He sat real still and even listened! When we were done he jumpedup, was really excited, clapping. Wyatt loves it when his dad comes home. He yells and screams when he hears the garage door open. Whenever the doorbell rings he thinks it is his cousin Abbey and he yells and screams for that too. Wyatt loves walks, running, playing on the playground (and is getting over his fear of heights), kids, and babies. He adores his brother Luke and can't wait for him to wake up in the morning or after a nap. He loves anything sweet and has great hearing...once I opened a bag of candy and poured it into a bowl and he came running around the corner asking for the candy! Hmm, I wonder who he takes after?
Wyatt is very particular and likes things in order. When he goes down for a nap or goes to bed at night he wants certain cars in his bed, and they have to be in a certain corner of the bed. It takes a long time to get it right! Also, before he goes to bed someone has to sing Keep the Commandments to him! He loves to read too. His favorite book is Hop On Pop by Dr. Seuss. What a funny kid! I love him so much and am thankful I get to be his Mom, even if he is growing up too fast.

Awww! I love Baby Wyatt! I think I am the only one who still calls him "Baby" Wyatt... He will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart for many reasons, but mostly because he's the first one to make me an Aunt. And I love being an Aunt! What a special little boy. I've always thought that Wyatt is so giving of his love and happiness, and he is such a happy little boy (most of the time!). Ever since he was tiny, he always smiles so much... and now he loves to laugh. I love him to pieces!
