February

Wyatt is standing up everywhere - holding onto the couch, the chair, the dog...Will is deep into the "why?" stage of 2 year olds is a constant bag of questions right now. Lots of fun at our house!



Bath time!


Wrestling!


Standing!

We had a very merry Christmas around our house. Will figured out very quickly how much he liked opening presents and was pretty disappointed when they were all gone. Wyatt really liked the wrapping paper.

Wyatt learned how to crawl (more like army crawl) over Christmas break. He can get pretty much anywhere he wants to go - and usually that involves wherever Will's toys are.

Honesty

Last night Will was playing with a kitchen utensil (he loves to "Cook" these days) and he was taking it apart so Will and Bill had a conversation that went something like this...

Bill:"What are you doing that you shouldn't be doing?"

Will: "Taking this apart"

Bill:"What will happen if you keep doing that?"

Will:"It will go bye-bye"

Bill:"So what are you going to do?"

Will: "Be naughty"

Wyatt has a top tooth coming in - #3! He's also figured out how to grind the top and bottom ones together to make a horrible noise - but he's very happy with it. Yikes. He also has taken up peek-a-boo as a hobby. He'll pull the blanket over his head, wait a few seconds and then pull it down with a big smile on his face. It's pretty cute.

Teeth, driving and clapping

Wyatt has a few new likes in life. He loves driving Will's toy truck and clapping. He entertains himself quite a bit in his high chair with some good old fashioned clapping.

He also has two teeth! His bottom two have finally poked through. It's taken gallons of saliva to get these two out - I can't imagine how many more wet onesies we're in for before his mouth fills up.

Snow!

First snow of the year! Will was very excited about the snow - he knew what it was right away (not sure how) and wanted to go play outside the minute he got up....since it was about 5:45 AM we convinced him he needed to wait at least until it got light out. We built a snowman (more like a snowboy) and he quickly knocked it over. Much of the snow has since melted but he's excited about the idea of seeing "snow vacuums" (aka: snow blowers) all winter long. Wyatt doesn't have much of an opinion on the snow. I'd like to try to get Will out on a pair of skis this winter...we'll see...

Catching snowflakes

Working in the snow

No teeth yet - but every once in a while his cheeks light up like Rudoph's nose so he must be working on some. They were just on fire the day I took this picture.

7 months old! He's sitting up really well (only falls over occasionally!). The lighting is terrible in this picture but his smile in the photo makes me laugh. He is starting to get some hair...its still just really hard to see it.

Wyatt's melon molder

I think I've mentioned Wyatt's flat head problem. He's had his "melon molder" for a little over a month and we've seen big improvements. He doesn't mind wearing it at all...but I'm hoping he gets it off in the next month or so. It's much more fun to cuddle a baby without a big plastic helmet in the way....This picture was taken at daycare. I can't believe he'll be 7 months old on saturday!

Will knows his colors 10/9/10

Will seems to have learned his colors! Although the day after I filmed this I asked him what color something was and he replied "triangle"...
