I have been neglecting my blog. We are busy getting ready for Christmas and fighting a winter funk. Both boys have been sick the past week and now I have it. At least we will be over it by Christmas. Here is a pic of Noah helping Greg string lights on our tree- In Shorts! Typical TX weather- it was 85 degrees that day and a few days later we were trapped in our house by an ice storm. No wonder we are all sick!
Wyatt is changing every day. The strip of hair on his head just keeps getting longer and still sticks straight up. He is rolling over and grabs at everything. My hair is his favorite. He is also quit the talker. 'AAAAAAH' is the extent of his vocabulary, but he says with so much purpose and emotion. He has is dad voice that carries over all other noise. He is not sleeping through the night yet. We get a good 5 hour stretch and then he wakes every 3 hours to nurse. I can't complain- he is a hearty eater and reliably takes good naps during the day.
We are heading to Dallas this evening for Christmas. We are having Christmas day with my family and then the day after with Greg's. Noah is busting with excitement. He has such a good boy helping pick out gifts for his brother and cousins and helping me wrap presents. He knows the gifts are 'secrets' and he says he 'can't wait' for everyone to open their's. I can't wait to see his face when he sees gifts. In Sunday school he has learned all about the birth of Jesus and knows the names of everyone in the story. They did an activity where they wrote on a piece of paper what they would give Jesus for his birthday and then they wrapped the paper up in a little box. Of course, Noah said he wanted to get Jesus a car. I don't know when the next entry will be so I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and God Bless!
Meme came for a visit last week. She is better than Santa as far as the boys are concerned. We spent a day at the mall buying stuff for the boys and for Christmas. It was Wyatt's first time at the mall. He wouldn't sit in the stroller but he happily hung from me in the carrier all day. Both boys behaved really well and were pooped at the end of the day- as were mom and I. Meme was thrilled to find out Wyatt likes her singing, or at least he laughs when she sings. The rest of her grandkids ask here to stop singing. In this picture she is singing him Jingle Bells.
Noah took this picture of Wyatt and Meme. Wyatt was hungry and not in the mood to be photographed. This was the morning Meme left to go back home. Doesn't she look a little tired and delerious? Two boys will do that to you!
Here are the boys with Santa. All I have are prints so I just took a picture of the picture. You get the idea. Aren't they just too cute? Noah didn't really understand that his picture was being taken or he might have had a better smile.
We had Thanksgiving with the Godsey clan at Greg's parents house in Lago Vista. There was way too much great food, so I got to take home some yummy leftovers! Wyatt was a sweety for everyone. He made sure to flash smiles for all his relatives, especially Mama G. In this picture he is having a conversation with Mama Jo and Daddy Joe. Noah loves visiting Mama G's house. He is the king of the castle when he is there. Bob, Mema's friend, took him for a ride in his convertible Porche Boxter- he was on cloud nine! On Friday after T-day, Greg's parents watched the boys while we took advantage of 'black Friday' sales and went and saw Harry Potter. It was fun to get away and be carefree-kidfree adults for a few hours. Thanks Mama and Papa G!
Here are my adorable boys in matching outfits. The back of Wyatt's outfit says 'Wanted' in old west letters. My mom and I took them to see Santa. Noah hopped right in Santa's lap and told him, in great detail, about the big Mustang 'just like Papa's'. Noah got a professional haircut while we are at the mall. He looks very handsome.
Well, I posted the pictures below and intended to write about them that same day but I became to busy to do so. And it just hasn't settled down since! As you can see, Greg has taken out our new sail boat several times now on both LBJ and Lake Travis. He gets down right giddy when he gets to go sailing. The other two pics are of Noah with Molly and Wyatt. He is a wonderful babysitter. Molly just loves him. On the other hand, Wyatt seems to be just tolerating him. Noah moves too fast and is too loud for mellow yellow Wyatt right now. I'm sure he will be just as fast and loud before I know it!
