Can't believe my baby is already 16 months.
On January 26th our little muchkin hit the 16 month mark. Wyatt is showing more and more personality every day! It is crazy to see how much he had grown in the last little bit. He is becoming more and more of a toddler every day. He loves to play with his brother! They run around chasing each other laughing a lot these days. It makes me happy to see them playing and laughing together. Wyatt will chase after Ethan with his hands up like he is going to tickle him. It is the funniest thing. Wyatt is still our great eater! He will eat just about anything he can get his hands on. He has been nodding yes and no when he wants or does not want something. I will ask him if he wants to eat something and he will normally shake his head yes. He still does not say too many words. His words consist of: ba (ball), momo (more), mama (normally not really talking about me, just when he wants something), du du (al done), cheese (while taking pictures) dada normally just da, loo (for look which he says all the time). He can point to his nose and do what a fishy does with his mouth. He can play peak a boo and wave hi and bye. He tries to do anything and everything that Ethan does. He LOVES sauces. Ketchup, fry sauce, ranch and really anything that he can dip something into or just slurp down. Anytime we have a sauce with dinner whether at home or out it gets all over the place! haha He has about 11 teeth right now I believe. He has also (for the past while) been sitting down and lifting his feet when we need to put his socks on. It is pretty funny and so cute. He will go grab a sock and hand it to me or Brandon, sit down and lift his foot in the air so we can put it on for him. He has also gotten more into books. Everyday before nap time or bed time when we go into his room he points to the recliner chair in his room so that I will go sit with him and read him a book (normally the baby Elmo is so big book). He loves the baby Elmo book. He will point to his nose and do peak a boo, wave bye bye, say dada and lalala when it says that baby Elmo can do it. Oh ya did I mention that Wyatt LOVES to sing!! Any chance he gets he closes his eyes and tilts his head up a little bit and starts singing "lalala lala" haha It is the cutest thing ever! He has also started getting a little bit more tantrumy. His tantrums are normally because he is tired or hungry and they are at the funny stage where all he does is stomp around and do a little whinny voice! haha He could probably still take 2 naps a day but it normally ends up only being one nap. So I try to push Wyatt's nap until Ethan is about ready for his nap so that they can nap at the same time. This is a nice thing because 1, we get to go do something during the day if we want to. 2, I then get to have some me time and do what I need to while they are both sleeping. Wyatt has also pulled his diaper off while napping once. Brandon went in to get him out of bed and his pants were off and his diaper was in his hands. haha What a silly goof! Lets just hope this is not going to be a regular occurrence, or we may be in trouble! He has also gotten into pretend shooting. Ethan always runs around with either a gun or pretend gun and is shooting bad guys or bugs and Wyatt picked up on it. He will stand there with a lego or just his fingers pointed and make a shooting noise. It is actually pretty funny. Ethan thinks it is fun when Wyatt is shooting bad guys with him! Lets see another thing about Wyatt is he thinks it is so great and funny when Ethan is rough housing with him. Ethan can be punching him and pushing him down or jumping on him and Wyatt just busts up laughing. I don't get it, it must be a boy thing! He has also started to try and jump. He can get both feet off the floor only sometimes and normally results in him falling down, but he is getting better. When we pray he folds his arms bows his head and starts mumbling. haha It is so funny. Then he is done and starts doing what he was doing before (normally eating). I seriously love having a good eater! He could eat all the time if I let him. He sleeps great and is so happy!! I sure hope that we have another baby someday that eats and sleeps like he does! haha He LOVES to play in the basement. If Ethan gets close to the door and mentions the basement and then I walk away from the basement he starts balling!! haha He likes to play with the basketballs and have us lift him up so he can shoot it. He likes to use spoons and forks to eat when he can, and likes to be able to feed himself! He gabbers all the time and it is fun to hear him gab on about who knows what. He is really stubborn when it comes to saying actual words though. I will hold something in front of him to give to him and tell him to say please. He will lean forward for it, try to grab it from me, sit down and then lay down and whine because he wants what I have and I am not giving it to him, but he wont say please! haha I have tried with saying apple, please and mama but nothing happens, he just pouts and gets upset! haha Oh well he will catch on some time soon Im sure! Another thing he can do now is slide down a slide sitting up and keeping his balance. For a while he would turn around and go down on his stomach, but, he finally got it down. He gets so excited when he gets to the bottom and he has done it by himself. He will just look at me and smile! :-) He also likes to look at our family pictures on the wall and point and say "da" never "mama" just "Da". I guess we know who is his favorite ;-). haha He has quite the little attitude on him as well. He will come up to me with a grumpy scoul and hit me in the face. Then when I tell him no and grab his hand he tries to hit me again once I let go. I dont know what it is with my kids and hitting me in the face but I don't really care for it! haha Well I think that is about it for now. I can't believe how big he is getting. It sure is fun and still sad at the same time because of how fast time fly's. It is just the sweetest thing and I love him so much! He has been a blessing to our family and we couldnt see our lives without him!
