One year old

I know I keep saying this, but I can't believe Wyatt is one today.  This past year has gone by so fast. Wyatt has made the last year pretty easy because he has been such a good baby.  We have had our sleepless nights, crying, illness and tantrums just like everyone else, but overall he has made our lives pretty easy. At his one-year check up he was 31 1/2 inches long (92%) and 22 lbs 10 ozs (48%).

Wyatt loves sitting up in the car.  He is happier when he can look out the windows.

He loves to dance in the car.  I turn the music on and he starts waving his arms.  Caitlyn can always get him dancing.

Wyatt only has three teeth on the bottom.  His two top teeth have finally poked through and his bottom gums are swollen, so he has been very cranky this past week.  I wish teething didn't have to be so hard on them.  Wyatt loves to eat meat.  He loves chicken, hamburger and roast.  I'm not sure how he chews it with no teeth, but somehow he makes it work.

Wyatt loves to stand.  He is always pulling himself up on everything.  He took five or six steps yesterday.  He will let go of things and walk to Keith or walk back and forth between us.  If I try to show people how he can walk he will grunt and throw himself on the ground.  Little stinker!

Wyatt is always saying, "Da Da" and "Dad."  I tell him to say, "Mom" or "Ma Ma" and he will say, "Dad" and laugh.  He thinks he is so funny!  He has said "Ma Ma" a couple of times, but now he thinks it is a game not to say it.

Wyatt loves to play.  He loves it when we get on the ground and crawl after him.  He loves to play peek-a-boo.  He also loves to play with phones, remotes and anything else he isn't supposed to have.

He likes his freedom to roam around the house, but he still wants Mom and Dad to hold him a lot.  He loves to chase the vacuum and broom around.  When he is upset he will scream and throw himself back, he doesn't care if he hits his head as long as he knows that we know he is upset.  We have all loved watching Wyatt grow up this past year.  I'm so grateful that he came to our family.  I'm feel very blessed to be his Mom.
