Darby is a Packer Fan!

Well it looks like our little girl will be heading out to Maddison Wisconsin to live with Sam & DeeAnn Greco (And Dobber). I took some photos of her today .She's 5 1/2 weeks old and doing great. She and Dharma were enjoying the somewhat warm weather today during my lunch hour.

Wyatt vs. The Chair

With walking comes accidents... and Wyatt has now faced (literally) his first walking casualty. Superbowl Sunday we were at Mom and Dad's knotting blankets. Wyatt had walked out into the kitchen and realized Adam had left (he couldn't find him) so he threw a fit. Being the newbie walker he is, he lost balance and crashed face first into a small wooden chair. He hit his eye on the corner of the chair and popped it open - which I think kept him from getting a REALLY black eye.

So here is a photo of his injury.

The final score... Chair 1, Wyatt 0.

One small step for baby, one giant change for mom!

Wyatt has been standing, occasionally, on his own since about 10 months. On his birthday he took his first steps without Adam or My help. Since then his confidence has began to grow little by little. He's gone from crawling to walking on his knees and has really started to transition into a TODDLER. His newest past time is practicing his walking skills between me and the couch. I was lucky enough to take some burst photos of him in action. I just LOVE how he lounges on the couch before he takes off. He looks like a little model standing there, ready for his close-up!

It's a girl!!!!

Meet the newest addition to our household! Dharma whelped at 3:30 today and we have a new little girl! Have a look.

Wyatt turns 1 - YEAH!!!!!

Wyatt had his 1st birthday on Dec 27. We had just the family over and enjoyed a small party together. There was dinner, followed by presents and finally cake and icecream. Wyatt got his own little "smash cake". Things started off slow as he sampled a tiny piece of frosting, then a little more... and finally he just laid into it! He had so much fun!

To make the day and even bigger event - Wyatt took his FIRST STEPS! (I did the same thing on my first birthday! Way to go kiddo!)

It's kind of bittersweet. I think to myself, "Wow, my little boy is growing up!" I'm so proud of what he's learned so far, and it's amazing to see him grow and develop. Then I think again "Oh No! My little boy is growing up!" He's not going to be this little baby anymore who I can hold, cuddle and read books to. I'm going to miss all of that when he finally gets too big. But for now, I'll just hold on as tight as I can and enjoy every moment that I have with my "little" boy.

The Duck Says...

Wyatt is learning his animals sounds... the puppy says "woo woo" and the duck says - well click the video below to find out what the duck says. Don't worry, it's G rated! :)

Almost 1

Well it's been almost a year now since Wyatt was born. I can't believe it. He's gone from this tiny little baby who just ate and slept to this tiny litte boy who wants to do it all!





I've enjoyed the past few months here where he's really started to make some big changes. You can see his personality starting to come through. It's amazing. On one hand I love watching him grow up, but for every "big boy" thing that he does, it feels like I'm losing part of my little baby.


Here are a couple of video clips for you to enjoy!
