Five months old!

I swear, time is flying right by us...we already have a 5 month old! He is so much fun and we are enjoying every moment we have with him. He is now "fake" coughing (which is so fun!), laughing like crazy, sitting up for periods by himself, rolling over, playing with toys, teething (come on teeth!), looking at books, eating bananas and rice cereal, holding his own spoon and bottle (sometimes) and just exploring the world. He has not had any interest in trying to crawl, but that is okay with me :) Once he moves we will be in trouble!

He got a new high chair for Christmas (thanks mom and dad!) and is enjoying his rice cereal in it :)

Love,

Wyatt's First Christmas

Wyatt had a busy and eventful first Christmas - we spent time with both Grandparents, friends, extended family and managed to have Christmas morning just the three of us :) Wyatt did extremely well and was such a good boy - we are so blessed to have an easy going baby! He also made out on the gift front...he got a wagon, clothes, and tons of new toys.

A couple pictures of the festivities:

We hope everyone had a great Christmas and are so happy to have time to look around and be thankful for everything we have.

Happy New Year!

Dad's 60th birthday!

My dad's birthday is Christmas day (which sucks!) so we always try to make it special. However, this year was even more important since it was his 60th! We made a cake, put together a slideshow (who loves short shorts?!) and...drum roll please...got him 3rd row tickets to see Eric Clapton :) I would say he had a good one and is ringing in his 60th year in style...

Here is the slideshow we made for him:

Happy Birthday Dad (Grandpa)!

Nick, Alicia and Wyatt

Guess who got Santa Clause'd...

Nick's sister hates blow up lawn ornaments...and we happened to have a blow up Santa. Guess who now has the blow up Santa :)

Happy Santa Days...

Wyatt and Duck Santa

Yesterday we found out that Duck Santa was at the Duck store downtown (thank you Tay and Brad!) and took little man down there to meet him :) He did very well! No crying, but no real laughing either. Since we were there and Tay and Brad came down with us, we got a pic of all of us with the Duck together. It was fun to get the pics and show our duck love...

Go Ducks!
