Baby is 8....wait 9 months

Here are some of the latest things going on.  I've picked up my 3rd day at work and it's been interesting.  The kids have adapted well but mommy hasn't.  It's hard going from work woman to patient mommy but we're surviving.  We leave soon for San Diego so very excited for a much needed vacation.  This will be our first one with the kids on a plane.  Shall be interesting....fun....horrible...however you want to word it haha.  We can't wait to see our San Diego crew and Nana and Popop.  
Little crazy smile baby boy

First bathtime together.  Notice green water = St. Pattys day!!  Doing this solo was tough but we survived.  Baby Wyatt does not just sit peacefully

My little shoogies

We started another round of gymnastics for spring.  See Syd on the end there upside down in, I must say, a nice looking handstand
Tyler's first big boy class (meaning without mommy) and he did great.  He listened to his coach really quite well.  Much better than those other greebly children.

I warn you before you watch this.  This is R rated material but it was too funny not to post.  I couldn't resist.  Tyler has a favorite Truck book we read often so he was explaining to us that he wanted to read it.

We officially have a crawler

Little baby Wyatt is officially crawling.  It's still the cute crawling where when you turn around he's still there.  I give it 3 weeks before he's crusing through the house.  Today we're going to play a game call "pick up all the little pieces."  We'll see how much fun this will be for Syd and Ty.

Forced development

video

Now that I look back on this video, I'm suprised Wyatt isn't screaming crying with everything going on around him poor guy is probably so over sensitized.  Between the cat, dog, sister in heels, Ty throwing toys at him and Scott and I cheering him on this kids is clearly going to need therapy at an early age haha

And I have another video but it won't load of Wy pulling himself up. I was sitting on the couch reading to the kids, Scott was in the kitchen and out of the corner of my eye I see him pull up and fall. So when we aren't paying attention to him he does stuff but when we are forcing he cries....I should learn from this :)

More Febuary Stuff

Oh my little imaginary world daughter of mine.  We play pretend school, church, grocery shopping, and most of all we play pretend mommy time.  Look at that face....do I make that face.....I'm sure I don't haha

Preschool is developed a whole new Sydney.  She is so much more articulate, asks so many more questions and has learned so many things.  It's amazing to see her really grow up.  She's always drawing something these days, it's fun to watch. 

The Husky couple being silly

We had a "She Said Yes" party for a Tercek at the house and thought why not wear all of our old bridesmaid dresses.  Super fun, slightly depressing haha, but a few drinks and really who cares you are hanging with your best girlies. 

Big basketball game night.  Baby Beeno came over to party with us

A random sunny day, who wouldn't need their shades to eat breakfast

Put up a tent in the family room just for fun.  Amazing what something so simple can do for the imagination....or the laying in there watching a show

Some Tyler "firsts"

Little Tyler has been busy growing up.  He is talking up a storm and now his battle is talking loud enough to be heard over his sister.  He is such a little guy that warms my heart as I watch him grow up.  So sensitive yet so tough, he snuggles with me and I just can't get enough of it.  He is so much more into reading these days.  He read almost an hour and a half the other night, just so enthralled by the world around him.  Minus the massive tantrums we have I really want to freeze this stage in my memory bank. 

You might be asking yourself, why in the world would Sarah go buy ANOTHER potty chair....well the answer is everytime we talk about the potty he says no he can't, it's Sydney's potty.  Now it's a longshot sure but we went out and Ty got to pick his very own potty out and look it came with a book on one side and buttons to push on the other.  We are keeping the potty chair industry afloat...

What's a new potty without the new potty box it came in.  Syd climbed inside and then played peek a boo with Wyatt.  He was mesmorized. 

My little guy broke his last paci so the Paci Fairy came to the house, left a sweet note and two Chuggington trains that interact and talk to one another.  He was so excited and proud of himself.  Saying goodbye to paci is a hard thing to do in life.  Thank goodness we still have 'silky' to fall back on.

This guy is all about his daddy and doing what daddy is doing.  So they worked together with power tools to get the baby gates back in place on the walls before the Wy-man starts moving

Well tonight we tried a couple of hours in big boy pants.....not the most successful few hours.  Brown bear in the playroom is not stained with T-Man's tinkle.  Poor little bear made it this long.  Oh and with Syd we called her undie, Big Girl Panties and now Ty calls his Big Boy Panties haha, can't help but crack up to things like that.

Ty's reaction to the Paci Fairy visiting at night while he was asleep

Nanny/Popop visit and Ty's Baptism

It was so great to have Nana and Popop visit, especially because they got to be here to see baby Wyatt get baptised.  Little man was pretty sick but he got through it with minor drama.  Nana and Popop got to hang out with the kids and be here during Valentine's day as well.  We did lots of decorating and dessert eating!!

Nana and Baby Wyatt had a thing going, lots of snuggle time

Nana brought window clings for Vday.....it was hard to release control on how to put up

A little late but my 7 month baby boy

Syd not too far away from the camera

Baptism time - very proud siblings (outfits courtesy of Nana of course)

My little monkeys

Our turn, baby Wyatt kept a keen eye on his mommy and daddy

Cute family shot when we got home

Vday donut, always eat from top to bottom

Baby Wy photo shoot

We had to get a baptism pic to the church and as I'm scrolling through the thousands of pictures we have of the kids do you want to know how many we had of just Wyatt?.......so needless to say we did a quick photo shoot...

Puff magic


Attempt of the 3 of them...not too shabby

Some serious "cheese" here
