Anyone need a good laugh?

We have quite the ham...

Will Loves his Grandpopper

Will loves his Grandpopper. He is always talking about him or pretending to talk to him on the phone. Grandpopper is the best - he plays with Will, teaches Will, builds things with Will, and gives Will rides in his sidecar, tractor, truck, bobcat (not sure about this one but Will talks about it), and soon, his airplane. Today, we met up with my mom and dad at their annual church chicken dinner. Will was searching the crowd fast for Grandpopper and when he espied him, he ran as fast as he could yelling "Grandpopper Grandpopper!!" and jumped into his arms giving him a big hug. It was so apparent how much he loves Grandpopper. Thanks Grandpopper for being a grand Grandpa!

Wyatt is in for a treat when he can start playing with Popper's toys, too!

Happy Go Lucky Wyatt

Wyatt is a happy little baby - he has recently discovered his feet and the top of his head (maybe he's realized how crazy his hair is and he's trying to mat it down?). He loves to talk and giggle. He's learned how to "tickle" mommy by touching my face and I break out laughing, which results in his belly laughter at this reaction he caused. Jeff and I feel so blessed to have him and Will in our lives.

My little potty man

Will has gone over a week without having any accidents! He also has learned to get on the potty all by himself and wash his hands all by himself. I just need to teach him how to get his pants on right and I'm a free mommy!

Potty Training!

Will is officially potty training! His first time actually going on the potty was 2 weeks ago while Jeff was at the cabin. He went #1, and 5 minutes later, told me he had to go again. We did and he quickly realized that if he keeps making trips to the potty, he gets more and more candy. 10 minutes later, he told me he had to go again. Oh boy, I thought, this is going to go on all night. However, that third trip was actually a #2!! I was so excited because I've heard that #2 is the hardest to get a toddler to let out on the toilet. Of course, we had to make 2 calls to daddy at the cabin with 20 of his closest friends to shout the news. And with the second call to deliver the #2 news, we heard the "YAY POOP" cheer from all 20 of the guys in the background.

Will is now on his second day of big boy undies only changing to a pull up or diaper during nap and at night. He's doing great - but hasn't actually "told" us he has to go, we just keep bringing him to the bathroom every 1-2 hours. Next step is to stop the prompting and let him tell us...

Wyatt's first smiles

The first milestone I look forward to most is our baby's first reactive smile. Wyatt is a little charmer! He started smiling at 4 weeks of age and each day gives us more and more smiles! Sometimes I'll just be carrying him around in my arms doing things and take a moment to look down at him to find that he's just smiling away at me! Here are some pics:

Will's first snowman

Will has been asking to build a snowman all winter after seeing the movie Frosty the Snowman and reading books about snowmen. After Wyatt was born, there was a warm day where the snow started to melt. Jeff woke up that morning and said, Will, it's time to build a snowman! I didn't understand what he was talking about as the snow was MELTING...but the smart husband I have knows that that is the perfect wet snow you need to make a snowman. Also smart enough to predict that we may not get enough snow again to make a snowman this year. So, their snowman adventure began and they created a masterpiece!
