First swear word

So yesterday we went for a picnic lunch since it was so nice out. When we got back, we discovered that the dog had knocked over the kitchen garbage...coffee grounds, poopy diapers, empty chicken packages - everywhere! It was a huge mess. I had dropped Will and Bill off at the door and then parked the car with Wyatt. So when I got in the house it was a little nutty. I took Will upstairs to put him down for his nap and reduce the chaos a little bit and as we're walkign upstairs, he says "goddammit, what happened?". I'm trying not to laugh and he says it again about 5 more times. I go back downstairs and ask Bill if he happened to swear when he walked in the door....guess what his answer was???

Welcome back summer!

We've been LOVING the warm weather lately. Lots of picnics and bike riding. Will seems to be starting to understand his colors - I'd say he can get the colors right about 85% of the time. Wyatt gets his flat head helmet today - I'll try to get some pictures up soon. Wyatt is rolling around like crazy and can sit up on his own for a few seconds before tumbling over. He loves to talk almost as much as his brother does. He also really likes to stick out his tongue - so I finally got a picture of that...

Wyatt and his tongue...

Keeping up on current events.

Really wanting to crawl.

We got a few new trees for the backyard (the old ones were dying and got cut down) last weekend and picked up some pumpkins while we were at the tree farm. It was a very sunny day and lots of the pictures must have been taken facing the wrong way as they're almost completely black - so I posted one of the only ones that turned out.

Will sitting on the pumpkins.

Happy fall!

Will's new bike

Will has been riding a smaller push bike all summer - it has a double back wheel so the balancing is pretty easy. He loves it and had gotten really good with it so we decided to try uping the ante a bit with this single back wheel bike Will got from Auntie Lisa and Uncle Clifford in June. This is his first ride and since then he's gotten really comfortable. He can coast with no feet touching for about 15-20 feet. He even rode it the whole way home from daycare this week - which is close to a mile.

Here's a bit of Wyatt hanging out in the backyard with Dad. He's been going to daycare a few hours a day this week to start transitioning as I only have a week and a half before going back. The bottle thing has been a little challenging but he seems to be getting the hang of it...

Fair

We went to the county fair yesterday to see the cows. Will got to go on his first carnival ride. I thought he might freak out when it started moving...but he was very focused and had a look of deep concentration on his face. When I went to unbuckle him all he could say was "more again!".

Wyatt slept through all the fun, even the mini donuts.

The many faces of Wyatt

Little guy is three months old today!
