Weekend Recap

Well, it's one week late, but Mommy is finally getting around to writing about our wonderful Labor Day weekend. Warning: lots of pictures ahead! We started out with a trip to Smith Park in Middletown on Friday evening. We strolled along the walking trail with Wyatt...


He enjoyed looking at all the people at the park and seemed especially interested in watching a soccer team practicing shots on goal. (Mommy hopes this is a hint at Wyatt's future sports endeavors!) Along the way, we stopped for a Cheerios break and look what our flexible boy did...


Yep, he slung his little ol' foot right up there on his stroller tray. Wyatt actually does this often, and Mommy and Daddy have lovingly dubbed it his "monkey foot". After our walk we decided to try out the swings...



Yep, he really liked the swings. He also liked watching the kids playing on the splash pad that faces the swings. We had a great time at the park and plan to go back often as Wyatt gets bigger. Before we know it the monkey foot will be replaced by monkey bars!

On Saturday we ran errands and did some shopping. (Sorry, but we didn't take any pictures of that!)

Sunday was a big day for us! Mommy went to Kaitlyn's baby shower and got to meet her side of the family. They were very nice, as well as generous! Uncle Brad almost couldn't fit all the gifts in his truck!

While Mommy was at the shower, Daddy and Wyatt traveled to Maysville, Kentucky for a Hickle family get-together. Wyatt got to meet some of his cousins...


Isn't it funny that they all have a similar hair color? Must be genetic! Wyatt also got to meet his great Aunt Peg...


She is Great-Grandpa Carl's sister, and it was her 80th birthday! It was nice for Wyatt to meet more of Daddy's side of the family. Here are four generations of Hickle men...


What a good-lookin' group of guys!

On Labor Day, we spent the first part of the day hanging out. Mommy and Daddy straightened up the office (well, some of the office--it's a big job!) and Wyatt took a long morning nap. Later in the day, Nana, Papaw, Uncle Brad and Kaitlyn came over for dinner. Of course, Wyatt was the center of attention...


He looks like he's leading everyone in song! Perhaps we have a future maestro on our hands. We definitely have a little clown on our hands, as Wyatt treated us all to a display of the goofiest faces he can make. Mommy fed him puffs and peaches, which made him squint his eyes and scrunch up his nose. Such a cheeser!

Wyatt enjoyed playing with Papaw...


And, yes, Wyatt was reading to Papaw, not the other way around! He also treated us all to a demonstration of his walking skills. If you haven't already watched the video, just scroll down!

We had a great Labor Day weekend, all because we spent it with family. And the next big family event is due on or around September 26th...


Uncle Brad and Kaitlyn will welcome little Ava into the world. Wyatt can't wait to meet his new cousin!
