Wyatt's latest request

Wyatt's latest request...

"Look at my face Papa, do I look like I'm joking?" - Wyatt

P.S. "Ettoile said she wanted a pony too... preferably a unicorn with pink hair..."

And the verdict is???

THUMB SUCKER...

Wyatt has been sleeping through the night for about two+ weeks now... part of it I think may be that he likes to suck his thumb... I wouldn't say that he is a thumb sucker yet... just because it's not very often that we catch him... but none the less I have seen him put himself back to sleep by popping that thumb in there... On another note he's on the 75th for his weight, weighing in at 16lbs 10oz at his 4 month checkup. He's a solid little guy... err... well... "big guy." Ettoile is happy to have a little brother to love, we just have to watch her because she has so much love to give that she sometimes hurts Wyatt on accident, trying to give hime toys etc.

Wyatt's favorite thing is to be held by Britt and when he isn't being held by Britt he sometimes gets mad, hence the mad pic... he had just gotten put down.

Ettoile like to make funny faces and in the other pic she's showing off her muscles (It kind of looks like she's handicaped... she's not)

Ettoile likes to wear mommy's winter hats and Wyatt is always smiling.

Sunday Morning

Just some pics from sunday morning... Ettoile was a book reading machine and Wyatt decided to take a nap... Funny the way kids think... Ettoile was reading her hungry caterpillar book and at the end it has a pop up with 10 butterflys... well she was in a sharing mood so she tore all of the butterflys and their wings and put them around Wyatt in his bouncy so he could see them... Although it was kind of cute we still had to enforce a time out for tearing up her book... this wasnt the first time shes torn pages out of her books... crazy child.

Our growing garden... (of children that is... obviously nothing grows in wisconsin in the winter)

Our house in the snow and the kids in their Christmas Jammies. Britt wants to start a tradition of new christmas jammies each year.

Our Christmas tree and Wyatt... he falls asleep everywhere. We found a slim tree at walmart that fit perfect in pretty much the only available spot in our house.

Weve been accruing alot of these ornaments for years at the after christmas sales. It was nice to finally get to use them... Britt and I like a designer type of themed tree... the memory tree thing is cute but not our style.

You can see how Ettoile decorates christmas cookies, eat one... decorate one... eat one.

Smiley Wyatt and Ettoile in time out for hitting. Just in case your wondering... thats a ducky towel and I never noticed until she was in time out that there was a little tail on the butt. Time out in our house either consists of one minute in a corner, on the steps, or on a kitchen chair... whichever is closest... now that she's almost two it seems like she's spending alot of time in time out... I guess thats just the age... terrible twos...

Wyatt's getting so stinkin big... Ettoile was kind of squishy but Wyatt's solid. These pictures were taken this week so they're the most up to date of Wyatt.

Just a quick pic

Christmas eve y'all

We went to see Santa on Monday since Britt and I are off work for the week. Such a rip off. Whatever happened to meeting Santa for free? Well I take that back, you can meet santa for free but you are not allowed to take any pictures unless you buy one of their packages... the cheapest one was $16 and my pictures turned out better than what they had. Oh well, nothings free anymore. As you can see from the pics, Ettoile was really excited to see Santa. I had to hold her hand all the way to the chair and for those of you who are familiar with baby signing, the second picture is Ettoile saying "all done."

Just a smiley Wyatt and our sorry excuse at a gingerbread house... We had a really good one that was a pre-made package from costco you decorate but it got eaten by some of Britts family members before we got a picture.

Lately Ettoile has been all about climbing all over everything. She got caught climbing on her rocking chair to get onto her kitchen and started making believe she was singing a song to cover up. In the mean time Wyatt fell asleep listening to a Judy Garland CD, his favorite. Any time he's upset, Judy garland will ease his pain.

Getting ready to go see Santa.

Hotty Mommy and a blackmail worthy picture of Collin(Ettoile's cousin) for when he's older... were glad it turned out so good. You should have seen how mad Ettoile got when Collin put her tutu on... Ettoiles tutus are one thing she doesn't like to share...

Just a few pics from this week. Wyatt will be 3 months on Christmas day and loves to smile every chance he gets. He's also a big talker... if you talk to him he's all about talking back and smiling. Ettoile is getting all of her molars in right now... arrgghh... so she is about 80% pleasant and 20% demon... Orajel has been our good friend lately. We'll be happy when teathing is over... probably just in time to do it all over again with Wyatt.

I took the kids to walmart this week and I knew Etty was tired so I let her bring her favorite blanket into the store with her to keep the beast content... she started doing the head banging thing and before I knew it both the kids were asleep. So instead of a quick trip, I was able to get all the things I needed... and made it a little bit longer of a trip.

Yeah so it's been a month...

Busy, busy, busy; that sums up that past month for Britt and I. Britt's now back at work and I'm in school full time for one more semester and working part time. With two kids that leaves no room for anything unless of course I stay up all night... I'm getting old and can't seem to stay up past like 10 or 11... maybe when Wyatt starts sleeping through the night which might be any time now... Well in the past month we have been to Vegas for thanksgiving which was great! It was nice to see all the fam and all the kids too... The Luna family just keeps getting bigger and bigger. What else...? Oh, I got the internship that I've really really wanted at "Trust Point," formerly North Central Trust. I'll be the "personal trust intern," or in other words, Ill be preparing tax returns and tax planning for trusts and estates. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this internship turns into a job offer so that way I can stay locally and not have to move any time soon. And more recently, every single one of us got the flu for a day or two... theres a few pics of Ettoile, who got it the worst. She woke up one night after having thrown up all over herself and her bed, gross, and then she spent the night in her play room on a bed of towels watching Marry Poppins, her current favorite. The next night she was back to her usual active self. The bad thing about having kids is that they get sick and then when they start feeling better the parents get sick and then we're no fun because they want to play and we feel like poop. Anyways, enjoy some random pics... the "Ettoile the nudist" fotos I thought were just funny, she got her hair blow dryed wacky after bath time...

New addition to the play room

We are currently trying to teach Etty her colors and thought that this new toy would help her on her way. We took her swimming pool from the summer and bought some play place balls from walmart to try and duplicate the fast food play place ball bin... which Im sure that most people know are uncommon now because they're pretty unsanitary. Anyways, she loves it and will separate by purple and yellow. As with all toddlers, her attention span is short and decides to instead roll in them or throw them all over the room, so at the same time as teaching her the colors she is also learning how to clean up.

On monday I had a big accounting test and I just thought it was funny to see my study area when I was about to put my books in my back pack. I love my kids to death, but studying is hard when Ettoile is coming in and out every other minute to bring me a toy. Britt says it's because Ettoile thinks I'm bored and wants to make sure I have some fun. So if you want you can play "I SPY..." See if you can find the little man from her dollhouse, a purple pom-pom, Wyatts green pacifier, a clean diaper, a used diaper, Wyatts doggy hat, a blue dog, and an orange my little pony. Also enjoy a pic of Wyatt at bath time.
