10 Months Old

Wyatt turned 10 months old on Sunday. I have been meaning to post thing blog since then but with school starting back...I sorta haven't had time. We just can't believe he is SO close to being 1 now. It really seems like yesterday that he was still so little. He has the sweetest personality...so lovable, so laid back and always curious about the world around him. He LOVES playing with Maddie and thinks she is the funniest person he has ever seen.

Here are a few of Wyatt's new tricks:
*Crawling like a champ now
*Pulling up on everything
*Eating a few more solid foods (I'm still amazed at this because he still has NO teeth)
*Can sign "more"


Crawling up on his excersaucer


Crawling toward Momma

Here is a video I have been promising my mom I would put on here of Wyatt crawling. He no longer crawls like an inchworm and can now go pretty fast!
We love you Wyatt and you bless our lives every day!

The Olympics

So Maddie has become a HUGE fan of the Olympics. She begs Nick and I to stay up and watch them at night before she goes to bed. This morning I kept noticing her running back and forth but really wasn't paying much attention...I just kept on doing my housework. When I finally sat down I noticed Maddie squatted down and then she would sprint to the wall. She had done this probably a hundred times before I caught on that she was trying to run like the men and women she had seen on the t.v.
I wished I would have kept the video going because after this sprint she said, "Mom, I'm all sweaty!" I'll just bet I won't have any trouble getting her to lay down for a nap today.

Row your boat...

Maddie and Wyatt always play together but usually Maddie gets frustrated with wyatt because of course he can't follow directions or follow her commands. I caught them playing yesterday and had to laugh at how upset Maddie gets with Wyatt at the end of this video. She just can't seem to understand why he won't listen to her. Also, they scream a lot at eachother...not being mean or anything...but they have screaming wars and Wyatt usually wins. You can hear him go back and forth with her in this video...oh yeah and he STILL growls at her...or anyone really. I love it!

Wyatt's new trick

I figured out Wyatt could get from laying down to standing up last night so we lowered his bed. Isn't he a cutie...he is getting so BIG!


So Big!



My brother has that same smile.



Maddie joined in on the fun.

We have a Nephew...and a cousin!!

My sweet sister in law gave birth to Carson Don Murphy, Monday evening at 5:12pm. Her water broke at 10:40 Sunday night and she was in labor for 18 1/2 hours. Wow!!! I was blessed to be a part of the whole thing and loved being able to be there for her and Webb. He weighed 7 lbs. 15oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. He is so sweet and so beautiful and already an amazing addition to the fam.
Here are some pics.
