my joy

some updates

I kinda almost forgot that I was a mother, well I didn't forget but it was weird that this mothers day I received things for being a mom. So it was nice!

Wyatt is so dang funny. He just cracks me up, he is in to EVERYTHING! At home I'm okay with it, I let him roam around and do what he wants. (within reason!) Work kinda the same too, but when I'm other places it's a little harder and I feel like I have to watch him more carefully. So it becomes pretty exhausting. He isn't in one place for too long unless he's completely worn out.

Wyatt has a few new favorite things:

1. His bear from grandpa g. (Sounds pretty gangster doesn't it) It really is just about the cutest bear I have ever seen. According to my mom he always could pick out a good stuffed animal. He gets really excited when he sees it and knows that it's just about time for bed!


2.Nilla Wafers

The get soggy super fast, taste delicious and of course make a huge mess!
What teething child wouldn't love these?

3. Sneering

Check out this killer sneer! He's a pro and looks oh so cute doing it to!

4. Dogs

Wyatt absolutely loves dogs.
My boss has a German shepherd named Jack and Wy loves looking out the window to watch him and thinks it's so funny when he barks at us.

5. Walks

Wyatt loves our walks, he loves looking around and talking, but most of the time he's just silent while taking it all in! Last night he wouldn't go to sleep to I strapped him in the stroller and off we went. Oh and he is starting to get really good at walking around, he had lots of practice yesterday at moms when we were all just hanging out. He kinda freaks Charlotte out and Drew thinks it's funny and that he looks like he's trying to box someone, I'll have to get pictures with his fists up doing his thing.

My New Favorite Things...

Baby oil gel could possibly be the best thing in America! It works so much better than regular baby oil and the lavender smells super good to. Use it in the shower a few minutes before you get out and you'll be good to go!
This stuff is also great! I like how it doesn't turn you all orange!

I love summer! I'm so excited it's here!!

Walking?

Wyatt is 9 1/2 months old and has decided that it would be a good idea to start walking! He's just starting out and I usually get so excited that he gets way excited and dived forward. It's so cute! I will have to get a video and post it for everyone. He also likes to sneer at everyone. It is SO funny. He does it all the time now. Strangers will probably start to think I have a bratty child.

A few of my friends and I have decided to take a small vacation this summer to St George over the weekend. I have found a pretty good deal on a condo. But if anyone knows of someone down there that rents places out that would be awesome! There will probably be about 8 adults and 3 babies. So let me know!

That's pretty much what's been going on. My mom bought a cute shade for my porch and Peter helped me put it up yesterday. I'm so excited to start decorating my patio for the summer. Now I just need to find some cute patio furniture to fill up the space!

Oh and a cute boy has moved in by me with a super awesome voice. He was singing a green day song with his friends while they were moving in. Maybe I'll have to bake him some cookies and welcome him to the neighborhood!

Race for the Cure

Well I finally did it. I signed up for the Race for the Cure on Saturday the 10th. I have nine days to mentally prepare myself to go do this. Sure it's only 3.1 miles... but I haven't been a runner in a LONG time. So I'm forcing myself to become one. I'm on the "Bosom Buddies II" team, so if anyone wants to sign up you should! I am going to go buy some new shoes and break them in before the race. The ones I have now don't have enough support and I get shin splints every time I run. And that's a problem! But I'm pretty excited about it, so wish me luck! And a post just wouldn't be a post with out a little Wyatt. So here's my little stud in his hat. He doesn't mind when he hasn't on and will just go along with his business playing. It's so cute!
