I forgot how quickly babies change. It seems like everyday Wyatt changes or does something new. From smiling and showing those beautiful dimples to interacting with us. Wyatt loves his sister. She can make him smile when no one else can.
On August 1 we were hanging out in Daddy and Mommy's bed. Now I know it was probably a fluke (at 6 weeks old) but this strong little boy rolled over. I'm not sure if the bed was sloped down some or if he was just trying to save himself from his sometimes overly zealous loving sister, but he did it!
Hannah Claire continues to amaze us with the things she knows and can do. I love seeing her do things that I can remember doing as a child. One of my absolute favorites was to take people's order. My grandparents had one of those mac-daddy vans with a tv (which never worked but was super cool for that time), a fridge and a table that could be put up inside. I used to walk around (because you still could at that time) and take people's drink and food orders from Cullman to Birmingham. We always met at the Cullman Shell station on exit 310 for the exchange between my mom and grandparents. Hannah Claire now does a similar thing where she likes to take our order for what we need from Publix. She is very serious about her job. "What else" is the response we get after she has jotted down the last item named. Daddy says she wants to be like Mommy. I say I would be honored!
Wyatt has learned how to tell us if he is upset. Thankfully he really only gets upset if he is hungry or sleepy and we can predict that pretty well and head it off. This kid has some lungs and is not afraid to use them. His whole body also turns red when he get going.
Our sweet boy loves to get a bath but for some reason does not like being wrapped up in the towel afterward. He kicks his way out of it and I think he gets made because he is cold. So we go from calm relaxing bath to mania for a few minutes until he is lotioned, diapered and dressed. It could also be the towel hood he doesn't like. Either way we get this wild eyed look if he is not crying. Bless him.
On Friday school was closed for staff development day and Monday marks the day for new classes. Since Hannah Claire was home with us we decided to visit the pool. Wyatt had never been and Mrs. Emily was home so we met her there. I'm quite confident that Wyatt will have zero memory of his first visit to the pool since this is all he did. (Yes it's a pink umbrella but we had it and we used it. You will be seeing more of it I'm sure.)
Hannah Claire had fun. This kid loves the water. We did have a little episode though. I guess it's 3 year old defiance (at least that is what I am telling myself) but HC got in trouble for running. Nothing major just a firm reminder not to run because we could slip and fall. She then proceeded to take off and jump in WITHOUT her puddle jumper. Now she took swim lessons last summer but nothing this year. She is pretty good in the water but no where good enough to swim without assistance. I was a little nervous about going in the pool with my incision still being so new. Well that went right out the window and in I went. I pulled that kid out with one arm in about 0.2 seconds flat. I probably scared her more than being underwater actually did but that is okay. She has to learn and I think she did. Thankfully Mrs. Emily was there to make HC go back in the water so she would not be scared in the future. I was ready to pack up and go home. I am so glad we did not.
Hannah Claire is also headed to another milestone. She is starting ballet and tap class. She is so giddy with excitement. We stopped at Academy after church to look for some gear. We found ballet shoes and two leotards. This kid was shaking it just from trying on her leotard. And for the record she wanted the black over the pink. We ended up getting both but I guess that is another milestone. What little girl doesn't want pink? She is about the cutest thing I have ever seen!
