Cloth Diaper Update!

Cloth diapering is going great!  Wyatt doesn't mind them and we enjoy going to the grocery store and NOT buying diapers!  (It's good for the environment too!)
We still haven't gotten Rob to try them but we are lucky that we have family and friends who bought regular diapers for us as shower gifts. 
Wyatt uses regular diapers at night (unless he falls asleep before I change him). 
Washing is super easy.  I just dump the bucket of diapers into the washing machine and turn it on! :)
We (my mom and I) find ourselves using Charlie Banana diapers before our gDiapers. 
Have I mentioned that he looks super cute in his cloth diapers?!?!

Sea World with Aunt Lulie

Last weekend, Caydin and I headed out for a special trip with Aunt Julie (also known as Aunt Lulie) to Sea World.  Aunt Julie hasn't been since she was a little girl so it was a lot of fun going with her - the park has changed so much over the past 20ish years!
Caydin's first stop was by the flamingos.  He stopped and showed us how he stands likes a flamingo.  He says "they sleep on one leg!"  I think he did a pretty good job at pretending to be a sleeping flamingo - see!?!
 Then we headed over to the Dolphin show - my favorite!  We had really good seats and got lots of smiles out of Caydin.  I think he really liked the birds that flew overhead during parts of the show!
 The dolphin nursery was a good spot to stop too!
The young dolphins were really active and liked jumping onto the ledge.  They would push eachother off the ledge and make all kinds of splashes and noises. So neat!
 Then we had a "mad" little boy.... (hands on hips)..  He thought it was funny to walk through the park with his hands on this hips.  I don't think he was actually mad though...
 Caydin has been asking to go up in the skytower for awhile now! Well when we passed by it, it had a 10 minute wait time (which was actually shorter than 10 minutes) so we waited and went up!  It was the first time for all of us.  Caydin REALLY liked getting to see the construction vehicles that were in the section they are re-doing (the penguin area).  Then we went to the whale show and had a really good time.  Finally, we headed over to the kid area where Caydin went into the big net play area.  Note to self: Send Daddy into the net area with Caydin next time - that thing is TIRING and HARD!!!!!  Julie and I bought left with bruises on our knees from the plastic tunnels!  Caydin was tried after that and ready to go home! Thank goodness!
I'm pretty sure Caydin had a great time spending time with Mommy and Aunt Julie.  I'm so glad we have family around who make it possible for us to special things with just him.  :)

Super Bowl!!!

We had been planning for some time to go over to our good friend's, Andrea and Shiv, house for a Super Bowl party.  Andrea was all "sporty" and ordered all the kids matching shirts! Sadly, Ava got sick so they weren't able to have the party at their house but the party was moved to Erin and Steve's (insert happy face!).  They had baby MaKensie just 8 days before!  She looked super adorable in her Super Bowl onesie!  Boy did Wyatt look HUGE compared to MaKensie.  He is only 10 weeks older than her.  They are going to make the cutest couple one day! LOL! (Erin and I are totally for arranged marriages!)
Caydin had a great time playing with Carter.  Wyatt napped so Rob and I got to enjoy the game and commericals.  Wyatt woke up shortly before we left, had a bottle, and went back to sleep for the car ride home.  HE THEN SLEPT IN THE CARSEAT UNTIL 4:30 THE NEXT MORNING!!!!  I put that is all caps because we were all so excited about it!! 6 beautiful hours! HAHA! When he woke up crying at 4:30 am, Rob had trouble finding him because he didn't realize he was still in the carseat! LOL! He didn't want to go back to sleep after his bottle so we got lots of play time in and even a bath early in the morning (Caydin spent the night at Grandma's that night)!!!

Double digits in weeks!

(I better post this...since Wyatt turns 11 weeks tomorrow! - OOPS!)
 Mr. Wyatt is 10 weeks old!
I'm not sure how that happened!
He is coo-ing and making all sorts of cute baby sounds. :)
He is smiley!
He has an amzing pout face.
He still looks like a little old man sometimes!
He goes through a billion bibs a day (maybe not that many!)


She wants to play too!!

Sometimes I walk into the toy room and find this little-old-lady in the bean container.
She loves to eat uncooked beans - I'm not sure that it is good for her.... but if she likes it.. she can do it! :) Afterall, she will be 9 years old this fall... and thats pretty old for bunnies!
She gets what she wants and I'm ok with it!
She puts up with a lot from Caydin.  He is getting brave and likes to pick her up and put her on top of things.. like his fire truck or tool box.  Kobe loves Caydin and never minds.
Shes the best pet ever! HA!
