Wyatt at 15 months!

For all those of you who don't get to see Wyatt that often I thought I would give a little update on what he has been up to. Probably the most exciting of Wyatt's current achievements are the few words that he is saying. Wyatt can now say: "Daddy" (no mommy yet), "Hello", "Bye", "Shoes", "all done", "ball", "uh oh", and of course "no". Wyatt's favorite foods now are: hot dogs, mac and cheese, peanut butter and jam sandwiches, chicken nuggets, meatballs, fruit snacks, any Mexican food, strawberries, bananas, peas, and yogurt. Wyatt already has a favorite TV show, it is pretty much the only one we ever watch; Mickey Mouse Club House. This show saves me lots of times, it is 20 minutes of no commercials and Wyatt will watch the whole things, I think he is even starting to say 'toodles' (Mickey's helper that brings tools when they call him).

Perhaps the most dangerous of Wyatt new accomplishments is his new ability to climb up on everything; chairs, couches, cuddle bags, desks, you name it Wyatt will climb it. He loves the computer and has even learned how to turn on Baby Einstein with the computer remote. So if you come into our house and notice all the chairs tipped on their side it is not because Wyatt has gone crazy it is just that we are trying to keep our dare devil alive. Tipping the chairs on their sides is something that makes Wyatt very angry!

Wyatt has also taking an interest in cleaning, particularly floors. He loves it when I take out the vacuum and thinks it is the funniest thing to follow it around and occasionally have me hold the hose up to his clothes and watch them get 'eaten'. He has also discovered the swifer which he uses mostly on the carpet, we are still working on that.

I have tried to let Wyatt get some climbing out of his system by having him stand up to help my cook, mainly he just wacks the stove top with his spoon.

(For some reason Wyatt is always cooking with no pants on, probably not one of the best habits he is forming.)

At 15 months Wyatt cannot get enough of outside. we are constantly at the beach, pool or playground. Wyatt has learned to bring us our shoes and then his shoes and then stand by the door, we almost always cave in and take him outside because it is just too cute. At the playground Wyatt can now make it to the top of every slide in our complex and go down by himself sitting up. His newest success has come with the swing right outside out house. It is a regular swing with no baby safety guards that he is now able to swing on and be pushed with no help, he even tries to pump which often results in him falling off.

As we look at all Wyatt is learning to do we are sad to see that our baby is gone; he is definitely a big boy now.
