Halloween 2013...A bit late

The cutest golfer I've ever seen. We went  to maybe 4 houses, but we had FUN!!

My BIG 15 monther!

A baby no more, but still the sweetest snuggler around! You have changed so much in the past few months! Walking like a pro, talking and saying words non stop and loving any type of ball or activity involving a ball. When we ask you questions now you do the cutest head nod yes. You weigh 22 lbs. 14 oz. and are 31.5 inches long.  Mama and Dada love you so so much.  Thanks for making us laugh everyday. You amaze us in all that you do!!!

Wyatt Michael Thomas,

You are not just my sunshine. You are my angel, my moon and stars, my everything, all the love in the world wrapped up into one tiny little adorable human body with eyes ocean blue that I could stare into forever and ever and ever. "Your face is so lovely, it keeps my faith strong." -(from a song I sing to you) 

I just want to write it down now in case I forget to tell you later how much happiness you bring me everyday. I live for that smile and charm of yours. Please always know this and remember it everyday. I can't wait for every stage of life, watching you grow into the man you are destined to be. My handsome lil fella. Mama loves you.

Sweet sweet buddy boy

Hi bud. Mama here. This is a delayed 4th of July post but really I just want to write about how much I love you and your sweetness. I mean you give out kisses like its your job. You also do this sympathy cry whenever other babies get upset. You hum back when I hum you a song before tucking you into bed and when I pat you on the back, you always pat right back. Don't get me wrong- as sweet as you are, you also have a fiesty side. I really can't decide which I love more! But let me tell you. This is one great combo to have. You are our little firecracker.

Anyways- these pics were taken over the 4th at Green Lake, Wisconsin.

My BIG one year old!

Oh buddy- you are one! You survived our first year of parenting-wahoo!! All was good at your one year checkup, although mama was a big baby watching you get your shots! You weigh 20 lb 12 oz. and are 29.5 inches long. You are communicating with us like crazy. You call for tommy when he's not around by mimicking mom. It sounds like "Om". You pick up phones bringing them behind your ear and say "lo?" and then proceed to  have a very serious conversation. You are obsessed with outside and you point to the door and ask "sigh?" "sigh?" Until we take you out. You do the same thing when you see your pacifier that you call "tee tee". When you hear or see a bird outside you say "bur". It's awesome. You love shooting baskets, love dad's hats, playing on your car and in any form of water. My favorite thing of all is the endless amount of hugs you give lately. especially when you give them to your stuffed animals. mama just adores this sweet little spirit of yours that is emerging. We love you sooooo much Wyatt, we are so amazed at all the things you do, and can't wait to see what the next year holds! 

Belated Fathers Day post

I mean I can't really even put into words how happy I am when I see you and your dada together. You are so in awe of him and your mutually intense love for each other makes me melt into a puddle on the floor. Happy Father's Day Jim! You are the best dada in all the world.

My Little 11 Monther

Oh my goodness, where do I begin? You are doing so much lately I can barely keep track. I chase you around the house all day as you explore every drawer, door, and vent. You say mama, dada, ball, uh oh, woof, pop, and bye bye. You are the fastest crawler I've ever seen and you are walking along furniture but not yet on your own. Mama takes you to the park everyday.We are planning your bday party and can't wait to celebrate and sing happy birthday to you- we've been working on blowing out your candle!!! Your favorite foods are blueberries, avocado and spaghetti noodles! you still love the water and at the splashpark you crawl head on into the sprinkler. You pretend talk on the phone, give the best kisses and pats on the back when hugging, and imitate tommy barking and mom and dad sneezing. I mean... Aaaaaamazing.

We LOVE you to the moon and back x10

Good days ahead

It's the start of summer break! Lots of fun days like this one ahead. You so love the park-especially the swings. Nothing better than seeing that big happy smile on your face!
