metal head

so, wyatt almost made it to his second birthday before having some major trauma. it all started wednesday evening around 6:30 when my crazy kid was running and playing around being the boy that he is when he fell off the couch backwards and hit his head on the corner of the coffee table. i immediately picked him up and he was doing that one cry where they stop breathing (i hate that). i had my hand on his head and when i moved it i had a handful of blood and i think i stopped breathing. thankfully i suck at folding my laundry and had a basket of clean laundry right there, i grabbed a towel and found my phone to call my mom. i stayed rather calm even though i wanted to burst into tears. i called my mom and as calm as possible to not freak her out said "wyatt hit his head, he's bleeding, please come over" which she couldn't hear over his screaming. after being able to communicate to her what was going on, she and amy came over. i got wyatt out of his bloody shirt and into some pajamas and we headed off to the instacare. i won't go into details of the visit because it was horrid. he cried, i cried, it was just not fun. and now he has 4 staples in his head! i'm not sure why they used staples opposed to stitches, i'm assuming because of where it is? anyway.. here are his knarly staples...


we went back into the instacare this evening to have them looked out, the doctor said that it is healing great and has already come together. just no swimming for us.. guess i'll have to cancel all our huge pool plans! damn. he gets to have them taken out next friday or saturday, the doctor said it didn't really matter. hopefully we don't have to do this again, it was no fun!

two posts in a day.. ya'll are so lucky!

i love little boys and i love this warmer weather. wyatt loves playing "side" on the patio with his bike and cars. he says hi to everyone that walks by and he gets SO dirty! after he had been playing outside we ran to the store to pick up a few things and the lady in the check out line looked at wyatt and said "boy you must have had a fun day!". his face is covered in dirt and so are his clothes. he loves being outside and i love me a little giggly boy covered in dirt!

Can I interest anyone in a little reading? Perhaps in the laundry basket? Usually when Wyatt is in his room he is either looking at books or playing with his cars. This happens to be his new spot for reading.

Wyatt and his best friend... the fridge. Most days when I am working and it gets really quiet I know where I can find Wyatt. These pictures were taken on two different days. He cracks me up.

Who has a beautiful child? Oh that's right.. I do. =)

wyatt and jack

This weekend Wyatt and I hung out with Jackson and had a blast. Boys are so much fun and really easy to entertain. Friday night Jack was not in the least bit happy about his parents leaving him. He stood by the window for awhile, but Wyatt was there right by his side.. mainly wondering why he was crying.

Not a happy boy.

I love the look on his face, I think he just wanted me to go away.

This is when things started to lighten up. Here Wyatt is inspecting the tires for him.

And here is Wyatt getting attacked by Diesel, you should have heard the giggles coming out of him. It was SO funny!

Today was much better and Jack greeted me with all smiles. He is such a little flirt! I wish the weather was a little better, but for a brief while we were able to kick the ball around outside and chase bubbles around. And somehow I was able to get both of them to take naps at the same time.. not only did they take them at the same time but they both slept for 3 hours. AMAZING! The rest of the time was spent playing with the dog (mainly Wy), in the tub, and jumping on an air mattress. It was a lot of fun and I think the boys had fun together.

Wyatt kinda gets out of control and just wants to wrestle.

I swear Wyatt either ran or jumped out of most of the pictures, and then my camera died! But we had fun and hope we can do it again!

a little therapy.

since wyatt has been refusing to go to bed and screaming for about two hours, i decided to blog about why i love him.. you know to help with my sanity. not that i have any left.

~ at random times during the day wyatt will full on attack me. he climbs on top of my lap, grabs my face and will try to bite my cheeks ( i love his cheeks so this is obviously where he gets it). and all while giggling uncontrollably.

~ he calls me momma. not mom or mommy, momma and i love it.

~ he has successfully locked my out of our home and continued to watch his "shows" every once in awhile to glance back at me through the sliding glass door pleading with him to let me back in. sneaky little fella.

~ he helps with laundry, he loves to get on his tip toes and push the clothes into the washing machine.

~ i have a complete momma's boy. i can't count the number of hugs i get in a day.

~ we have screaming matches, and i usually let him win. today he had a screaming match with himself in the mirror and got a kick out of himself.

~ if i'm on the couch laying down, he stands next to me and plays with my hair for a bit. it's so sweet.

~ he absolutely loves not only his family, but especially his grandma susie! and he gets excited when we get ready to go visit anyone.

~ i love how much he's starting to talk.. here is my favorite one "go away"

~ he is starting to really use his signs again. today the sign of the day was bicycle and it was so cute.

~ he always plays peek a boo in the car. there is no car ride that goes without.

~ he climbed out of the crib once and hurt himself. he has yet to attempt again, thank heavens. although i will not lie when i say in the mornings i wish he could just get out himself and i often yell at him to go for it. but he waits as patiently as he possibly can until i can drag my sleep deprived a out of bed. bless his heart.

~ his favorite part of the incredibles is when dash spits water in the air for frozone to freeze and catch. he giggles everytime and sometimes i even rewind it just to listen to him giggle.

~ i love the way his lips look when he says "choo choo"

~ i love that he's mine. what an amazing blessing and way for the Lord to tell me to grow up and stop being such a retard. even when i'm at my wits end he can still do something to make me smile. i'm still not perfect but he's a big reminder of why i should try to be.

i love you punkin nugget, even if it's midnight and you won't just go to sleep.

sweet fro man

with curly hair comes a sweet morning fro! i love how he looks so amused, i swear he was smiling right before and after the picture was taken. and oh the binkie. he is becoming ever so dependent on it. yesterday i finally took it from him and tossed it in his crib and explained it's just for bedtime and naps. although i couldn't understand his reply to that, i'm pretty sure he cussed me out.

favorite place to be

If you ever wonder where Wyatt spends most of his time.. this would be the place. I can never seem to get him out of the fridge. For awhile I wondered if I just wasn't feeding him enough. It cracks me up... and worries me a little when it comes to the grocery bill in years to come. He's a growing boy and likes to eat! Among his favorites are string cheese, apple sause, clementines and any left over he can get his hands on. He's actually back in there right now and said "oh no cold".. He's so fun and growing entirely too fast. His 2nd birthday is approaching faster than I thought it would, just 3 short months away. Where has the time gone?!
