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)!!

Tic Tac Toe with Oma

Caydin learned how to play Tic Tac Toe with Oma.  He loved the game!  I think they played every evening that Oma was here!

Stop growing! (and playtime!)

Wyatt loves trains. He has never sat through a baby show on TV but will watch CHUGGINGTON.  It's a good thing that I think that show is cute. :) It also helps that it comes on the Disney channel at 7:30 am! We have time to get Caydin ready for school without Wyatt screaming to be held or wanting food! So nice!

 

Lately, he has been reminding us over and over that he is no longer a baby.  He is saying a whole bunch of words! He is working on his list of "likes" and "dislikes".  He drives trains around on the floor and makes cute little "train sounds".  He also does things to make the rest of us laugh! Um, hello! STOP GROWING!

 

He loves to be with Caydin.  Lately, he loves to steal all of Caydin's favorite trucks and run away with them.  He loved it when he found Caydin hiding in some toy bins! I love getting to watch the boys interact with eachother.  

Insta-update!

Well I dont have internet at home right now so an insta-update will have to do!!!

Caydin's first trip to the public library

I've been meaning to take Caydin to the library for awhile but it just hasn't happened.  So when I got our library card in the mail a few weeks ago, I knew it was time.  With Oma and Daddy at home to play with Wyatt, Caydin and I headed over to the library.  Since it was the first time we used the card, we were only allowed to check out 5 books.  Caydin claimed that he wanted all construction books but after walking down the first row of books, he found some Jack Truck books and a train book or two and he was ready to read! He didn't really understand that you can take the books home to read.  He wanted to sit down on the floor and read them there!  I explained to him how the library works and he was excited to hear that he gets to take the books home.  THEN, he heard another little boy say to his mom that he picked out NINE books.  Caydin was quite upset with me for only letting him get FIVE! HA!  Next time buddy, next time!

 

Wyatt - 15 months!

Well Wyatt,

 

You are 15 months old now! I'm not really sure how that happened.  One day you were a tiny little newborn and the next, a walking babbling big boy!

Boy, you are a monster! You know what things you are allowed and not allowed to do.  You like to give us big smiles then do something you aren't supposed to do! Stinker!

You love to go to school with Caydin.  Everyone there LOVES you too.  You also like to give Grandma a hard time but throwing up all the time.  GRR! (More on that in a minute!)

Wyatt, you are gaining weight like a champ - you've gained a whole pound in the last few months.  You love food and will try just about anything.  You still don't like to eat solid fruit.  You prefer the pureed kind. 

Your hair is getting longer! I finally got it trimmed in the front because it was always in your eyes.  I left it long in the back though so now we joke that you have a mullet.

You love to be outside and looooove to play with your brother.  We are trying to teach Caydin to only do good things in front of you because you copy everything he does.  If he runs, you run.  If he throws something, you throw something. If he yells, you screech!

You are a BOOK BOY! He bring us books to read ALL. DAY. LONG.  I don't remember Caydin being like that.  One time, Daddy was napping on the couch and you walked right up to him with a book in your hand and smacked him in the face with the book.  You were serious about reading! You have favorite books and bring us the same ones over and over again. 

You nap/sleep really good but lately, you are starting to fight going to sleep.  You sometimes have to cry for a minute or two before you give up and go to sleep.  You take 2 naps a day and sleep before 8ish pm to 7 am.

We took you to the doctor for your 15 month appointment and your doctor said you were very average in your weight and height.  We asked the doctor about your tummy issues (lots of random throw up lately).  We are going to monitior your throw up for a few weeks longer then will probably have to check to see what is going on with your belly.  We aren't sure if you just have a really sensitive gag reflex, some motion sickness, or just something going on with your belly.  Hopefully whatever it is will clear up on its own... soon!  

We love you buddy - you make everyone smile. You babble all the time so we are all excited to hear you start saying words.  You say a couple random words now and it is so cute!

Live it up baby boy, pretty soon you will have a new little cousin and won't be the baby in the family anymore! Haha!

 Love, Mommy

 

Center time at school

Caydin's teacher asked all the kids to bring in a stuffed animal to keep at school.  Caydin picked out this cat that I got many many years ago!  Kitty was named Meow Meow after Aunt Tee-tee's cat.  As far as I know, Kitty is doing great at school and gets to come out during center time.  And just a fun fact - every afternoon, we ask Caydin how school was and what he did during centers.  He most always tells us that he played in the housekeeping area with Kirin.  He also enjoys the block building center and told me that he started going on the computer too.
