Beautiful Chattanooga











Vincent and I took Wyatt and Thorn on a walk to a waterfall on Lookout Mountain yesterday. The weather was perfect and the creek was full of water. This is an unusual site in Chattanooga because we have not had rain in so long. Recently we have been getting a ton of rain so all the waterfalls are so pretty. Wyatt loved his backpack ride and looked so cute riding on daddy's back.

Wyatt's first Christmas





































Wyatt had a great first Christmas. My parents came to Chattanooga for Wyatt's first christmas. On X-mas day we decided not to cook, so my parents, Vincent's parents, Vincent's grandmother, and Vincent's uncle all went to the Bluff View restaurant to eat. Dinner was great and it was also wonderful to have both sets of grandparents there. Wyatt racked up on the gifts thanks to my mom and my sister. Vincent and I really did not buy the baby anything because he does not even know what Christmas is but next year he will definately get presents from his parents. He really loved the toys my sister got him. Everything was just great for Wyatt's first Christmas and as an added perk he was so wonderful at the restaurant.

1st Santa pictures


Last night Vincent and I went to get Wyatt's picture taken with Santa. Wyatt is a bit shy and nervous around all new people so I did not know how sitting on Santa's lap would go over. He did great!! There were no tears. He did not smile but at least he looked at the camera. I think the picture turned out great.

Wyatt on the move






















Wyatt is almost 9 months old and he is really wanting to walk. He has not shown much interest in crawling but he does want me to spend most of my day holding his hands while he walks around the house, restaurant, climbing gym, etc. I really enjoy walking him except it is hurting my back, therefore I got him a walker.We have all hard wood floors so we just roll the rugs back and let him go. He does love the walker but he really prefers me or anyone to walk him around the house. He wants to go up to everything with knobs and play with them. He just smiles and talks the entire time he is walking. Thorn is not use to seeing him in the walking position without an excersaucer holding him in so she is having a hard time with this. I wonder if she thinks he is a little animal b/c he is small and he sounds like an animal (deep thoughts from Becky). Wyatt has not learned to pull himself up yet but he does have pretty good balance. I know he will be so excited when he can get around. Without mommy and daddy he just rolls to get to where he wants to go. I keep trying to teach him to crawl (not really I just put him on his belly) but he just either flips to his back or raises his chest high off the ground and flails his legs around. Oh well as my mom always says he will crawl and walk when he gets ready. As for now I will be his balancer. Oh yeah I also put some pictures of him looking at himself in the mirror. Just like a man he already thinks he is pretty good looking. Everytime he sees himself he just smiles so big.

I was tagged


I was tagged by Amy to put up my 4th picture in my 4th folder. This is the picture that I got. Vincent, me, Wyatt, and Thorn were going on one of our first hikes as a new family. I am sure that Wyatt was probably about 4 months old. He was so chunky back then. Here is the photo. I tag
