Chicago Part 2

I was so glad that we were all able to get together in Chicago! Maddy was so fun to hold and cuddle!

Here are a bunch of pictures that we took while hanging out in the hotel and hanging out at Great Grandma/Great Grandpa's house!  

Chicago Post 1

These pictures are way out of order! But I don't have the time to fix it right now! :)

 

I love Maddy boo! She is just the smiliest, drooliest, baby right now! So calm and chill too! We could lay her on the bed and she would just kick and look around for the longest time!

 Caydin loved Maddy too! He was so gentle and sweet with her!

 The boys enjoyed watching their shows on the little DVD player!

 Knocking on Grandma and Grandpa's hotel room door!

 More play time with Maddy!

 No vacation is complete without a sick baby! :(

Wyatt woke up in the middle of the night wheezing and having a hard time breathing.  We took him to the ER and they took us he had croup.  After some cool air to help with the swelling in his throat and a shot, we were sent home! He got much much better! That turned into a cold but everyone seemed to have a cold that weekend so it wasn't a big deal!

 The airport monorail

 Wyatt got some good Peppa Pig time - he loves that show!

 Jay and Wy up to NO GOOD! :)

 Katie loved being stuck between 2 carseats the whole time!

 We spent the afternoon at the zoo! We found a beautiful spot to see the city and also saw a wedding party taking their professional pictures!

 I heart my sister!

 The lions were SO NEAT to watch at this zoo!

This one should really be at the top! It was our first plane.  Wyatt's first time on a plane! It was also the same plane that lost Grandma's luggage and made her be stinky for a whole day!

Hammocks Beach State Park!

On Thursday, we headed over to Hammocks Beach State Park to take some pictures with a friend that Katie knows! We spent most of the morning with her.  Both boys liked her a lot so I hope we got a couple good photos!

Our plan was to head over to the beach after that but we needed to eat some lunch first.  Katie came to the rescue with some Chik-fil-a! While waiting, Wyatt fell asleep in the stroller and Caydin got stung by a couple bees.  Poor buddy, he was just standing around watching a tractor go across the grass when he got stung.  He started screaming and yelling.  He recovered very quickly though!

 

After lunch, we headed to the ferry for a boat ride across to Bear Island where the beach was located.  Such a nice little beach! Wyatt slept through the first ferry ride but Caydin really enjoyed it! We had to walk about 1/2 a mile to get to the beach.  Thank goodness for strollers and a paved walkway!

 

We really enjoyed the beach and sand.  Both boys had an awesome time! If we are ever in Hubert again, we will definitely go back to Bear Island!!!

Crayons!

Wyatt is very interested in crayons, markers, and well.... MAKING A BIG MESS!!!

He did it.

He went and turned 18 months.

One and a half years old.

 

Stinker.

{almost} 18 months of Wyatt!

I'm not sure how he got so old!

He loves the camera!

He says "cheeeeese" all the time.

He loves to run. 

He ALWAYS takes a few steps backwards, yells "GO" and then starts running forward. 

He sings "Eee, Iii, Eee, Iii, Ooo" all the time and requests us to add the "quack quack" verses.

He loves to splash in puddles (and drink puddle water - groooooss!)

He drinks a juice box like a pro but still asks for a bottle at night.

He LOVES his penguin.  It goes everywhere with him. 

 

Bye bye Bottles!

I'm not sure how it happened but Wyatt pretty much weaned himself from bottles.  We figured out that drinking bottles in the morning before his car ride to drop Caydin off at school was a VERY BAD IDEA! It resulted in lots of vomit! We are pretty sure he has some motion sickness issues! So, we switched to sippy cups (after the car ride) and he has been doing great!!! He still gets a bottle right before bed but that's all. Caydin was a month shy of 2 when we finally took away the bottles and he still had his pacifier after that! Way to go Wyatt.. only 1 bottle a day and no pacifiers (he has never taken one)!!
