Wyatt’s 1st Birthday

Wyatt turned 1 on Jan 27. He started taking his first steps on his birthday. He started walking all around where ever he wants to go on February 23. He is feisty but also loves to give hugs and kisses. He loves hanging around Will. He hates getting his diaper changed and we end up chasing him down every time we need to change his diaper or clothes. He loves playing peekaboo with people and being chased (probably part of the problem with diaper changes!). He is 25 lbs and 1 inch taller than Will when Will turned 1. He has 12 teeth.
He can say many words but most are probably only recognized by us or his babysitter!
Some words he says:
Bicycle
Cheerios
Cracker
Water
Please
Cup
Brown Bear (his favorite book)
Book
Car
Go
Ball
Balloon
Daddy
MaMa
No No

And he can imitate all different kinds of animal sounds. He also learned mommy’s party call “Aaauuuuuu!” most recently when we were dancing next to the parade at Disney World. Now whenever we dance, he yells “Aaaauuuu!”

Jeff was in TX for work the week of his birthday but Will and Wyatt and I had a little celebration and Wyatt opened his gift from Grandma and Grandpopper (kids song CD) and one of our gifts (toothbrush and toothpaste). I know, Toothbrush?? But he loves watching Will brush his teeth so this was exciting for him!

When Jeff returned from TX, we had Jeff’s sister’s family over for dinner and cake to celebrate. We gave Wyatt a Wheely Cow and a Jack in the Box.


Will took a liking to the Wheely Cow and it’s now Will’s main form of transportation around the house. This toy is awesome but a little too fast for Wyatt – another couple months and Wyatt will have to reclaim it. For now, Will rides it and Wyatt follows on his ride on Fire truck.

Happy Birthday Wy-Guy!
