What a fun month it has been! 

Wyatt and Heidi are neck and neck for the “Happiest Kid Ever” award.  He is the biggest flirt…smiles at me and Michael constantly but does not discriminate when it comes to new faces.  He is “this close” to laughing.  Heidi and he are beginning to really interact, her by talking to him and bringing him toys, replacing his paci for him, holding his bottle aided by one of us and him by smiling and cooing at her.  The other day Wyatt was on his play mat and she came over and sat beside me, leaned under the toy arch, put her arms around him and hugged him up to her.  My heart melted!  She loves him!  Just where was my personal videographer? 

On another note…Heidi has entered the separation anxiety phase of toddlerhood.  I wouldn’t call it extreme but it isn’t great.  Our church assigns numbers to each child in the church nursery and has a sign that flashes the child’s number if you are needed in the nursery.  I left her in there last Sunday crying and told them to call me if she did not calm within 10 minutes.  10 minutes later, #907 was flashing on the screen.  She wasn’t still crying but she wasn’t happy.  If she was old enough to sit/be quiet through church then I would have her with me but, at almost 16 months, she is just not.  So…this is going to require some training…on her part and mine.  It is torture to leave her when she is crying but I want her to become comfortable away from me, knowing that I will be back.

Sleep…whatever.  If one sleeps, the other doesn’t.  Heidi is teething and doing whatever it is that causes 15/16 month-old’s to wake in the night.  Wyatt is just doing what babies do.  It’s cool…whatever.

I’m proud of my kids, of my family.  This parenting thing is a laugh a minute.  Truly.  

Sometimes the line between performers and audience blurs, which is incredible.

Heidi’s Office

Wyatt meditating.  “Ohm”

Headed to church with new shoes on.  🙂

“I parked the car in the hallway, brought these groceries in and kicked off my shoes.  Now I am going to put my purse down and relax!”

Oh yeah, that’s a coyote in my back yard.

Wyatt’s office attire.

Our attempt at a pony tail was weak.  Heidi’s fine hair won’t be ready for that for some time.

Creating a masterpiece.

Gotta love Saturday mornings.

Heidi discovered a lizard, which she promptly barked at.  🙂

Couldn’t resist…how cute is he?  For real…he is CUTE!  Roly Poly. 🙂

She loves the shower so much you have to undress her quick before this happens.

        

Accesories, accessories.

My little fashionista with a style all her own…well, all mommy’s style as long as she allows it.  😉

Awww, brother and sister.  XOXOXOXO

Halloween pics coming….
