Friday's Randoms

-See this boat:

Well it is sitting in our drive way. Ryan thoroughly likes is. We are going to get lots and lots of fishing done in it. That's all I am going to say about it...

-Wyatt and I get out of the house every Thursday and Friday even if it's for 30 minutes. Because he doesn't go to a daycare and his grandmas come to our house to watch him he normally doesn't leave the house Monday-Wednesday. It's my mission to get him out of the house those two days so he doesn't go stir crazy. Today we went to get my rings cleaned and to drop off another one that had a broken prong and a missing diamond. I love when my rings are so shiny and new looking!

-I had a baby and suddenly I've sprouted a ridiculous amount of hair near my temples. I know that it is new growth, but it is out of control and there is not a thing I can do about it!

-Speaking of hair, I am getting mine trimmed next week and I really want bangs straight across. That will never happen, but for 2.3 seconds I think it'd be alright.

-Is there a food you can eat entirely too much of and not even be phased by it? For me, it's probably blueberry muffins. Every time we make a batch I can single-handedly eat 9 out of the 12 we've made. This morning after I made some Wyatt gobbled one right up. We have no shame for our love of muffins!

 -We haven't rented a movie in a very, very long time. I got on Redbox to reserve us a couple movies and realized there was entire list I wanted to see. We will see if we get half way through this list.

 -Tonight we have plans to watch these:

-Will let you know how they even though I'm almost certain they've been out for awhile.

- I remember when I liked  Facebook...back when bumper stickers were so "in." It was my favorite thing ever to get a new one from my friends. Those were the days. Now, I basically use FB to upload pictures to which has very little for the month of January. Sigh.

-Mentioning pictures, I approved my repairs from Nikon on my camera yesterday. It is $12 shy of being half of what we paid for it. Ryan will shoot me in the foot if I damage my camera again. Good news? I should have my camera back in about 2 more weeks. Woo!

-Since I've finished The Hunger Games books my desire to read seems non-existent. Maybe I will get it going again though. I just know nothing will top what I just read. Ever. I have Love Times Three up next...we will see how it is.

-I haven't seen Bobby cat in a day and a half. I hope I see him tonight. If he has ran away or gotten hurt I will be crushed.

-I hated saying no to something that had the potential to be so great career wise. However, I know that I am so lucky and blessed to work part-time and spend it with Wyatt. Since we are trying to another baby I know that the timing is not perfect, but I feel it's what I should be doing.

-I'm trying to get through my Lifetime movies that are DVR'ed. All I know is there is a lot of rape, backstabbing, bad clothing, screaming, and crying. Yet, I can't seem to get enough.

-I suppose that's all! Hope you have a great weekend!

9 months old

Wyatt you are 9 months old today!

Since our last monthly post so much has changed with you…

-We moved you to a big boy convertible car seat, still rear-facing of course. You like it a whole lot more because you can see a lot better.

-We still have you in size 3 Pampers just because we are finishing up the packages we have left. I changed my Amazon order so this month we got your first shipment of size 4s. I foresee us staying in 4s awhile, just like the 3s.

- You have two beautiful little teeth that just shine!

-You are pulling up, chillin’, and sitting back down on everything. You really like to push around the chairs, lick the tv, and be the captain of your pirate ship. You get so squirmy when we try to hold you. You just want to be standing up opening and closing cabinet doors.

-You are cruising around on the furniture. You will stand up next to the couch and then inch your way down to us. It’s fun and scary. You use your walker now, but on the outside. You will stand up, push it away, and then walk with it. The only bad thing is that sometimes it gets ahead of you.
-We’ve started rocking you to sleep. You are such a busy bee that you refuse to go to bed without us winding you down. Therefore, we feed you and then rock you to sleep. You are out like a light within 10 minutes. We turn off all the lights and just rock. Once I think you realize we aren’t throwing a party you give up. It’s sweet getting to rock you though since we never did when you were a baby-baby.

-You know how to crawl stairs which Mimi and Pawpaw taught you. You get up those things and quick.

-You know exactly what “no” means and will get upset when we tell it to you.

-You are still taking 4 bottles a day. I’ve taken away the 2nd and 3rd bottle and put the milk in your cup with a straw. I don’t call it a sippy because we threw those our forever ago so it’s just your “cup.” You drink just fine. No we just have to get the Grandmas on bored. (Nana admitted to caving.) You get oatmeal, a fruit, a veggie and then your snacks vary. You still LOVE your yogurt and are a big fan of cheese. We give you whatever we are eating and it’s still so nice. You are starting to feed yourself with a spoon and it’s like you can’t shovel it in fast enough. You would eat all day if we let you. You are still such a water baby and could drink that all day without stopping if we let you as well.

- Still taking a paci only for sleeping.

-Wearing 9 month, 12 month, and 18 month clothes and still a size 5W.
- You know how to “find” us when we are somewhere else in the house. It’s so funny .
- You get SO excited whenever we get home from work. I just eat it up.
-You give kisses when we ask, give us high fives, and when you are feeling up to it wave bye-bye.
-You only squeal and say “heeeey” or “ehhh” still. I am still waiting to hear mama or dada.

-You LOVE to be a naked baby. We let you be naked about 15-20 minutes before bath time and you are such a hoot. You will crawl around so fast and will just get so excited when you sit or stand. It’s so precious.

-Bath time is still one of your favorite things. When you start getting grumpy in the evening because you are tired we strip you down and prepare for bath time. You are like a brand new baby during this time.

- You are still spending the night with Mimi and Nana. You spent new year’s eve with your nana and last weekend you stayed at Mimi because we didn’t want to wake you up at 11:30 to take you home so we let you have a sleep over. We may start letting you go stay a night a month at the grandmas, but not just on weekends since those are so precious and the time that daddy gets to see you the most.

- You do not watch tv at all. The closest you come to interacting with the tv is licking it.

- Changing your diaper is like wresting a 600lb alligator that has octopus legs. IT.IS.A.WORKOUT.

-You weigh 23 lbs.

-You have never been to the doctor other than for well-baby visits and for that I am so thankful. He last saw you at 6 months and we are supposed to go for your 12 month visit. I’m hoping that you don’t go until then because that means you haven’t been sick.

39 weeks old

Our laptop was sick and we got it back today, so here is your 39 week post, one day late.

Yesterday you and Marley had some brotherly moments...he was feeling friendly, because he done went and got his hair did.

Marley's a quick one!

I confess...

I must confess…

…I’ve been missing my Nikon something terrible. Every time I want to take a real cute picture of Wyatt I want to slap myself in the face. Obviously I am not over this. Tomorrow Nikon will be receiving my camera and a few days after that I expect a horrifying email about how much it is going to cost. Be thinking of me.

…Every time I end up taking a picture of Wyatt I am deeply disturbed at how crappy it actually is. However, I am thankful I can at least still take pictures of the little guy, blurry or not.

…I am halfway through the last book of the Hunger Games series. I plan to finish by Wednesday. I feel like I don’t even know who my husband is.

…my kid wears me out. He is into everything! Thankfully I have Ryan’s help 100% so whenever I need a breather he is there to take over. If you only knew how thankful I am.

…I need to publicly apologize to Ryan. I forget why exactly, but he told me that he would like an apology. On my blog. Therefore, publicly. Bunney, I am sorry.

…That apology will get me nowhere and I will soon have to apologize again.

…That I could waste an entire day reading and not feel the least built guilty.

…I spent entirely too much money on sugar cookies for a game that I hardly even watched. I use to love football, but since having Wyatt, while I still love football I can’t find the time to really sit down and watch it. Oh, that’s right…I have a baby that needs playing with while said football game in on in the background. Or I let Mimi play to her heart’s content during the game while I read and the rest of the family watches.

…I am completely looking forward to our weeklong family vacation this summer.

…I can keep myself up all night planning Wyatt’s first birthday party.

…I dream about being Katniss. I’m completely pathetic, right? It’s not that I am that obsessed, but rather that is the last thing I read each night before bed.

…I’m sad I didn’t get any pictures of a shower from yesterday. Boo. Who am I without my camera?! Oh, a girl with no pictures. Duh.

And, here are my less than fabulous pictures.

Starting to feed himself:

Enjoying some sun!

Before going to hang out with a bunch a girls at a baby shower. Still looking cute though.

Late to the party

It seems that I have arrived late to yet another party...

Okay, let's be honest. I despise being late. Despise it. My hands get all clammy, I sweat, my heart rate rises, and then I'm just grumpy. Punctuality is one of my stronger points.

Well, that was until I met and married Ryan. We seem to be late for everything now. If I am destined to be somewhere alone I can make it on time. Add my dearest husband into the mix and you can immediately kiss it goodbye. Even Wyatt doesn't slow me down. With Ryan, for example on Christmas Eve morning, I (per usual)  hadto give us a 30 minute window. Our "appointment" was 11:30. Figure in the 20 minute drive I knew we had to shoot for 10:30. Did we make it on time? Yes. But only because I constantly nag Ryan to do this, do this, and did you do that? Nonetheless it works for us.

I completely went on a tangent there for what this post is about is of course being late, but being late to the party that is the obsession with none other than The Hunger Games.

I had heard people mention this series before but never gave much thought to it. Then, when we went to see the Breaking Dawn movie the preview was shown and I was immediately hooked. Not really knowing anything about the books, that little preview of it had me wanting to read it. Kudos to them since they are clearly doing their jobs. I finally got a Kindle (I say finally because I was adamant that I was a "hold the real book in your hands" type of girl but I read a book on mom's and was instantly converted) and The Hunger Games was the first book I downloaded. I started it Monday night and finished it on Wednesday. I seriously needed more hours in the day. I started Catching Fire two seconds after the first book and am still finding that I need more hours in the day. I have an obsessive personality. It's both good and bad. In this situation probably bad since I am dying to get through this book to move on to the next. My laundry, the dishes, the floors, everything has taken a backseat. Well, all except for Wyatt. The only time my kindle isn't in my hands is when Wyatt's awake. Homeboy's still got to eat, drink, play, and be changed you know. Priorities! Although I must admit, I have read it aloud to him a couple of times when he was winding down for naptime. Go ahead and judge me. 

Winter wreath

Remember in my goals post that I said I wanted to do a wreath for every month?

This is the one I made mid-December for January:

I really like it! It's clear that my favorite wreath to work with is the twig-like ones. I feel like I can work better with them. I'm ready to get started on March's.

WW: I spy

(A potential mohawk.)
