Wyatt's 1st Birthday!


My baby is now 1!! This past year just flew by. Wyatt's birthday was on Friday the 13, and we had a party for him on the 14th. We invited some friends, and my whole family minus my dad and Brianne were there. Nick's brother and sister-in-law were out of town so they couldn't make it either. We missed them all. We had a BBQ, opened presents, then had cake and ice cream. For some reason I decided I wanted to make Wyatt a fancy cake... I will never do it again. It took me all day on Friday to make a main cake and Wyatt's own cake. They didn't turn out quite as I had hoped, but they tasted good. That's all that matters right?! Wyatt was very spoiled by everyone! He got so many great presents, and has loved playing with all of them. Thank you to everyone for the gifts and the birthday wishes. It was a great day!
After Wyatt's party, my mom took Wyatt home with them so Nick and I could spend Valentines Day together. It was a fun night, we went out to dinner and a movie. It's been quite a while since we were able to go out just the 2 of us, and I'm really glad we could spend some quality time together. Nick is such a wonderful thoughtful husband, and the best dad to Wyatt. Wyatt loves his daddy more than anything. More than even me I think. He has become quite the daddy's boy the last couple weeks. He wants nothing to do with me when Nicks around. Hopefully once the summer starts, Wyatt will be okay spending the majority of his time with me. It's definitely been a blessing that I have taken for granted having Nick around this winter. He'll be heading out to Florida in a month or so. Then most of the parenting responsibilities will be mine once again. I can't believe that our summer starts so soon! I guess time really does go by faster when you have kids.

The last couple months I've really been wanting a new camera. We've had our camera for over 3 years now and it just wasn't cutting it for us anymore. On Friday Nick surprised me with an early birthday present... a Nikon D40 camera!!! He was planning on giving it to me on my birthday but he was a little too excited and couldn't wait. It was so sweet and probably one of my top presents ever. I love my hubby! Since then I've been learning a lot about photography and thanks to Jason I feel like I'm improving all ready. Yesterday I went with Jason to take bridal pictures. I was his assistant/student, it was a lot of fun and some of the pictures even turned out pretty good!


Yeah, I'm pretty much a pro now.

Some other things that have been going on...
Wyatt has started getting more interested in walking. It's so cute watching him try to walk, he puts his arms straight out in front of him and takes off. He doesn't really know how to slow down or stop once he gets going, so he usually goes until he falls. He has bumped his head quite a few times, but it usually doesn't seem to phase him. Wyatt has also started waving bye bye, and has learned how to go down stairs. I can't believe my little Wy Guy is going to be 1 in 10 days! It's a little sad, but I'm still not ready for another one yet.


Such a big boy!


He really wanted to go outside
