13 Months

Time continues to pass quickly and it has already been a month since Wyatt's first birthday.  He has sure been a handful these last few days.  He is so easy going and so good, but wow can he find trouble and make a mess like you wouldn't believe.  This is his newest trick.  He has been trying to climb onto the couch, but can't quite reach.  He realized that he can climb on the chair.
Then he dives onto the couch, crawls across the couch.
Then he is at his real destination the end table.  He loves to play with the remotes and I always put them up here so he can't reach them.
He also loves to pull all of the tissues out of the box.  He will seriously do this over and over all day.  I take him down and put him next to a toy and the next thing I know he is on the table again.  I guess I send him mixed messages when I tell him no and then take pictures of him doing it.
This is his other new trick.  He is constantly climbing in this desk  It drives me crazy.  All day long I'm pulling him off of something he shouldn't be on and all day long he is letting me know he is not happy about it. It is hard to get mad with a cute face like that though.
He also loves to play with the TV.  He is constantly turning it on and off.  I say, "no, no Wyatt."  He looks at me shakes his finger to say no, so he knows he shouldn't be doing it, and then flashes me this adorable smile and goes right back to doing it.  Little stinker!
He was laughing while he was playing peek-a-boo with Keith and I the other night.  I love listening to kids laugh, there is nothing cuter.
Wyatt is finally walking.  He is still crawling about half the time, but he always tries to walk to get where he wants to be and once he falls down he will just crawl the rest of the way.  He had a lot of fun showing off his new skills the other night for Keith and I when Caitlyn and Jonah were in bed.
 
I love when they first start walking and they have to keep their hands up for balance.  The other day he walked from the car to the school holding hands with me and Jonah and he loved that.  He was not very happy when I picked him up, he wanted to keep walking. 
Wyatt says "ma ma and da da," although I don't think he really knows what he is saying.  He is down to one nap most days.  He loves to play wrestle.  If anyone lays on the floor he will go over to them and scream and jump on top of them.  He loves playing peek-a-boo, and patt-a-cake.  He is pretty social and loves to show off for people.  He is getting more clingy with me and Keith.  His new game is to hand stuff to people. He will hand me anything he can find just so I can give it back to him.  Caitlyn and Jonah are so excited with all of the new things he can do.  We all love watching him grow up!

SO CUTE!!! I am always amazed at how fast they learn to get into stuff. I love how he uses the chair to get to the couch, and YAY! for walking :)
