Picture Boy

Wyatt LOVES to study pictures.  We put some up on the refrigerator so he can see and touch them all the time. He loves this picture of Grandpa, Caydin, and Grandma.

A Writing Game

One evening, Caydin made his own Hopscotch game - complete with a "GO" card and a "STOP" card.  He had a lot of fun hopping from card to card!

Each day, he gets a little more better and a little more interested in writing. 

GO CAYDIN!

Matching Jammies and a happy baby!

Every night after bathtime, Caydin asks for matching jammies.  I figure there will come a day with Caydin doesn't want to match Wy AT ALL so I'm going to live it up and dress them in matching clothes as often as possible!

It is starting to get easier to take a picture of the 2 of them together.  I can at least get them both to look at the camera at the same time, I can't always get a smile but I'm ok with that!

So here is a few matching jammie pictures (and a few of Wyatt that I just couldn't leave out!)

Insta-Update

It's amazing how many pictures I take with my phone now opposed to my camera.  Most of the everyday stuff we do ends up being documented with phone pictures and I really have to challenge myself to grab the camera when we are doing something interesting or going out somewhere.  I guess that is what happens when you have 2 monkeys instead of just one!

One evening, I put shaving cream in a cookie sheet for Caydin. He loved it!

Daddy gave Wy a foot massage!

Wyatt loves his penguin and blankets. 

Not a baby anymore. Officially a toddler!

Caydin decided one day that he wanted to take showers and has done it ever since.  No more bath time for both boys together.  Which makes me alittle sad but both boys are still as happy as can be. Wy gets Daddy time in the bath and Caydin gets Mommy's help (though he is learning how to wash himself - all I really help with is scrubbing his hair and washing off his back!)  Bath time is finished in record time around here!

Sometimes he just doesn't want to take a nice picture. He'd rather take a silly picture!

big MESSY trouble

Playtime at the park.. Nothing is off limits anymore - Wyatt will try to climb anything and everything!

Sweet Caydin monster - usually too busy to take a picture.

Blanket Boys

Caydin was ALWAYS a blanket baby.  He always had his pacifier, lovie, and blanket with him.  Thankfully, he no longer needs a pacifier (haha) and usually only has to have his blanket on his bed. He is however a HUGE lovie boy.  If Caydin spends the night with Grandma, lovie goes too.  If Caydin goes somewhere, 90% of the time, lovie goes too.  Lovie usually hangs out in the car when we go to a store and doesn't need to go to school.  Lovie is sometimes referred to as a dalmation (when Caydin is a firefighter) or Caydin's baby.  We love lovie around here. =)

 

Little brother isn't far behind.  He hasn't taken an interest in a pacifier and doesn't have much need for the lovie we gave him though.  He is pretty obsessed with his stuffed penguin.  He stole it from Caydin's room around the time he started to crawl and has slept with it everyday since.  He also has a Elmo doll and Mickey Mouse that hangs out in his bed with him.  Lately though, he is becoming more and more attached to his blanket.  We love that he puts his face down on it when he sees it.  I also find it super cute when he drags it around the house.  Reminds me of his big brother at the same age! =) 

Puzzle Time

Caydin told me one day that we had to do a puzzle every. single. day.  It only lasted about 3 days and the he forgot to ask for a puzzle! Thank goodness.  We only have about 3 different big puzzles.  Caydin is getting pretty good at doing puzzles.  The puzzles are also helping Caydin to stay focused on an activity for longer than 2 minutes. (Don't worry Ms. Denise - we are working hard on his attention span!)  Wyatt thinks that puzzles are pretty neat too - he thinks it is super funny to break apart the pieces that Caydin has already finished! Silly baby. 

Breakfast - Wyatt style

"Don't worry mom, I can feed myself breakfast."
