What does a giraffe say?

Wyatt's top two teeth are just beginning to come in and I am thrilled. Aside from some cranky moments, more teeth means more food choices, which is good for all of us. You can only eat so many Cheerios and pureed fruits and vegis, you know? One of Wyatt's favorite things to do is brush his teeth with mom and dad but don't try to wrestle that brush away from him before he thinks those two teeth are good and clean or there will be hell to pay.

Wyatt is sleeping in his crib full time now and I can't believe how easy the transition was. There is barely a fuss now when we put him to bed. As a reward, I went out and bought him some big boy pajamas and this Coach purse. Okay, the purse is mine and it's a fake from my trip to China but I couldn't resist posting this picture. I caught him walking around the house with it on his shoulder this morning. He had dumped everything out of it except the coveted cell phone. When the purse wouldn't stay on his pint-sized shoulder, he'd walk around with his arm straight up in the air. Too cute!

This past weekend was Homecoming at my alma mater and my former softball coach was being honored at a retirement party after 22 years of coaching the Loggers. The school hosted an alumni game in the morning and a reception that night and we all had a great time. Close to 30 alums showed up for the event and a lot of them were former teammates of mine that I hadn't seen since graduation. Wyatt and I just watched the game since pregnant lady's aren't allowed to field ground balls- especially without practicing for 8 years- but I had a great time catching up with old friends. Wyatt loved playing in the dugout with stray softballs and unattended cans of spray paint and Gatorade bottles.

Wyatt has been getting more and more affectionate this month and it is just melting our hearts. It started one day when I told Wyatt I loved him and he leaned over and gave me a big wet kiss. Then I told him to say night-night to daddy before bed and he walked over to Ross and gave him a big hug goodnight, complete with a few pats on the back. So cute!

Now he is showing an interest in his stuffed animals for the first time and carries them around the house with a bear hug around the neck. His favorite stuffed animal is this giraffe. He walks around snuggling it saying "neigh, neigh" as he mistakes the giraffe's mane as the mane he see on all of the horse pictures in his animal books.
