Dear Wyatt,
- I can’t believe how much you have grown this past month (not just in height). I have seen you do so much – like walk! Not just take a few steps and fall, but really walk across a room. I am so incredibly proud of you! What an amazing accomplishment.
- I love that you have sparked a love for reading – and the library! It is so much fun to take you there to pick out new books, go to story time and to mingle with the other little tots. You are so smart! What’s even more fun is watching you flip through the books on your own instead of playing with your toys. I love how you’ll just walk over to your book bin and pick out what you want. I feel like our goal to spend less time with the tv on and more time reading together has really paid off.
- Oh, and did I mention you went for your FIRST swim this month! You did such a great job! You weren’t scared at all (as long as your momma was holding you – which made me feel very special). I was surprised at how much you enjoyed it – it was like one big bath to you. You started splashing with your hands and eventually yelling to your daddy who was playing with you and engaging you the whole time. Your Puppa was also there – man, we all were so impressed and proud of you on that day. By the end of the swimming session you had a j-lo booty (if by the time you read this you don’t know who j-lo is, just look her up – I’m sure you won’t be sorry).
- It seems that with each passing month, you get sweeter and sweeter. I see how loving you are towards others (especially animals). In fact, I think you just might like animals more than you like people – which is fine – I was the same way. I love that you love our kitty Mason, and snuggle with her daily. I love that you think any dog is hilarious and laugh almost immediately at the sight of them (especially when they run or jump).
- And trains. Well, we went to the library and you discovered there amazing train table. The rest is history – because you completely fell in love. You played there for about half an hour before we took a milk break and sat down to read some books. But after that bottle was empty, and those books were finished, you wiggled your hardest to try to break free and head back over to that table. I’m guessing this love of trains is here to stay – because your Puppa bought you a wooden train set, just like the library.
- And dear boy, the thing I have noticed the most in the past month is the love you have for me. You make more of an effort to hold hands now – in fact, you would probably like to hold hands all the time! We snuggle all the time and you give way more kisses now. You are such a little love bug. Everyone keeps telling me to enjoy this – to enjoy you while you are in this phase. And baby, you bet I am.
I love you so much.
xo.

I love this post. I’m the same with enjoying all the contact time with my baby boy, one day the last thing he will want to do is snuggle with his Mumma.
Thanks Bettina! I am trying to enjoy it each day – because there will come a day where playing with your mom isn’t “cool” anymore – and he’ll want nothing to do with me. I hope that doesn’t happen – but it probably will! I’m holding on to these precious moments!
I remember I also documented everything when my daughter is growing up. Motherhood can really be enjoyed inspite of all the hardships!
Oh, it is so much fun! I can’t imagine my life any other way now that I am a mother – there are so many ups to go along with the hardships. It makes is completely worth it!
Wyatt is such a cutie!!! I love that he’s wanting to hold your hand and give you kisses! Can’t wait for Caleb to do that!!
Thank you!! I know – he is such a lovey! Always wanting to snuggle and be sweet – I’m sure little Caleb will be kissing you in no time ๐
New to your blog! What precious memories! Little ones grow up so fast… we have to enjoy every moment!
Hi! Nice to have you here! Thank you so much for dropping me a note! Oh, it is so true- they grow up SO fast – it seems like just yesterday Wyatt was born and I was swaddling him. Now, he is trying to run everywhere – oh brother. I’m definitely trying to enjoy every bit!
