Our Little Scholar

As I've mentioned before Wyatt LOVES to read his books.  Half dressed, this is how I found him Saturday morning in his room.  He was so content he didn't even notice me taking photos of him at first.

No Fear!

Bath night is always fun for Wyatt since he's a natural in the water.  His new thing is to put all his trucks in the tub with him and put them under the running water as he sings, "Workin' in the carwash!"  Literally.  But on Sunday he took bath night to the next level.  This is the first time that he lay down on his back, immerse both ears in the water and float.  He says to me, "Look Mommy- swimming."  It really just shocked me that he was laying there with water in his ears, in his nose and in his eyes.  Occasionally he's go completely under and just sit up and start laughing.  Great that he isn't afraid of water but not so great that he has no fear!  Wyatt is definitely two and loves to test his mother and father on a daily basis but I wouldn't change it for the world.  The picture below he's actually saying "cheese."

Sorry for the naked photo, Wyatt.  At least you aren't fully exposed.

XOXOXO

Happy Valentines Day!  Our little guy has been battling quite the cold/cough/runny nose this past week so we elected to stay put this weekend and take it easy.  Last week Wyatt brought cupcakes to school so he helped me decorate them.  He's becoming quite the Sous Chef in the kitchen and loves to say "Shoe Chef."

Superbowl Party/Mana Pat's Birthday Celebration

We celebrated Mana Pat's birthday along with the Superbowl yesterday.  Wyatt loves hanging out with his cousins (The Montgomery clan).  Wyatt and Micah are 7 months apart and they are now just starting to become chummy with one another- it's fun to watch.  Kevin's brother, Bruce, just moved up here from West Palm Beach, FL so it was fun to see him again.  I think the last time we saw Bruce was 6+ years ago.

Reading Time

Reading books to Wyatt has been very important to me even before he made his way into this world and I think it shows.  We read books ALL the time but over the past couple of weeks I've noticed Wyatt reading books by himself out loud that mimics what that particular book is about.  Hopefully he won't grow out of the moments we get to share on the chair reading books together.

...and then all of a sudden his clock radio came on with Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now" playing and he got up so quickly to start dancing.  That's our toddler!  And of course it took me several minutes to undo the alarm settings Wyatt so joyfully implemented. 

Outside = Fun!

Wyatt would spend all day outside if he could.  We still have an issue with him wearing mittens. The funny thing is he'll be outside for a good half hour and we'll check his hands periodically to make sure they are warm enough and more often than not his hands are warmer than ours are with mittens on.  Luckily his coat hangs over his hands to keep them somewhat protected.
