On Sunday, Mommy and Nana hosted a baby shower for Uncle Brad's girlfriend, Kaitlyn, who is expecting a little girl in late September. It was a great time, especially since we got to meet Kaitlyn's mom and sister, who are every bit as sweet as Kaitlyn herself...
We also got to catch up on lost time with Cousins and Aunts, like Billie, Brittany, and Jean...
Mommy can't even begin to tell you how hard it was to take this picture! Aunt Jean does not like to be photographed, and she's a lot stealthier than she looks!
Cousin Brittany brought her little cutie pie, Peyton. He is seven months old and a sweetheart of a baby. We didn't hear a peep from him the entire time. Of course, everyone was excited to see him and Wyatt together...
Someone joked that it looks like Wyatt is trying to help Peyton sit up. What a Boy Scout!
Cousin Tara brought her sweet girl, Callie. See Callie's doll there? She wanted everyone at the shower to know that it is NOT a real baby. Aren't kids cute!?
It's always easy to find Cousin Sue at a family gathering; just look for the baby. Seriously, this lady is the go-to girl when it comes to holding little bundles of joy...
And the babies just love Sue! She's just a gentle person and they really sense that. Mommy can just picture her now holding Brad and Kaitlyn's little girl at this year's Christmas party.
We all had fun talking, eating and playing games. Nana and the Beach Bums (Auntie Kim, Aunt Sherri, Cousin Leanne and Holly) reminisced about their crazy Myrtle Beach shenanigans...
Kaitlyn received lots of adorable outfits and items for the nursery. Speaking of the nursery, take a look...
Now doesn't that look like a sweet place for a little girl to snooze away the hours?
We're looking forward to meeting the newest little addition to the family, and we appreciate everyone who came to share Kaitlyn's special day!
"What?! I'm supposed to eat that? But it's red and jiggly. I don't know about this."
"Oh, I can't bear to look. Go ahead, Daddy, just try to get that stuff into my mouth!"
"Hey, it's not so bad! I kind of like the jiggly-ness of it. And it's sweet!"
"I liked that so much, in fact, that I'll feed some to myself. "
"Please, no pictures. Give a man his dignity while he eats!"
1. Barnyard Dance by Sandra Boynton Wyatt loves the rhythm and rhymes in this book. He bounces and bops as Mommy reads the first line: "Stomp your feet, clap your hands, everybody ready for a barnyard dance!"
2. It's Night-Night Time by Twin Sisters Productions No bedtime routine is complete without a bedtime story, and this is Wyatt's favorite hands-down. When Mommy pulls it off the shelf he shrieks in excitement, and Daddy enjoys "editing" the story as he reads it aloud.
3. Baby Touch and Feel Animals by DK Publishing Wyatt is a very tactile little guy, so this book is right up his alley. He likes to feel the bunny's soft fur and the kitten's scratchy yarn.
4. Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You? by Dr. Seuss No children's reading list would be complete without Dr. Seuss. Wyatt loves this silly book of sound effects. His favorite sound is the buzz-buzz of the bees. It makes him giggle every time.
5. Spot Goes to the Farm by Eric Hill Wyatt's favorite! Mommy and Daddy often catch him reading this book on his own, his little fingers carefully lifting the flaps to discover what's underneath. Sometimes he "loves" this book a little too much and Mommy has to doctor up the flaps with scotch tape. Wyatt also has Spot's First Christmas, which he enjoys reading year-round.
Once Wyatt sprouted teeth, we decided to let him try out some finger foods. His first finger food was a Gerber product called Yogurt Melts. He was so excited when we first put one on his tray. It was fun to watch him concentrate so hard on picking up the food... 
Ah, Saturdays. In the days BW (Before Wyatt), Saturdays meant sleeping in well past 9 a.m., leisurely eating a nice breakfast while reading the paper, and debating whether we should go shopping or just sit around and watch Entourage and Curb Your Enthusiasm all day. Yep, we were livin' the dream!
