Walt Disney World

To celebrate my parents' 40th Wedding Anniversary, my parents, brother's family, Jonathan, Wyatt, and I went down to Walt Disney World for a family vacation. It was the first time any of us had ever been there. We quickly learned that there's a whole lot to do and a vacation at Disney is a blast, but can wear you out! Here are a few fun family photos of our trip.

First Flight

Wyatt took his first flight on June 21. We were flying down to Orlando, Florida for our Walt Disney World vacation. Wyatt did great!

After the flight, Wyatt got to sit in the Captain's seat. He was studying the instrumentation and looked ready to ask daddy and cousin Jenn a few questions...once he learns how to talk.

First Road Trip

Wyatt took his first Road Trip last weekend. We headed down to South Carolina to visit our aunts, uncles, and many cousins. Garrett decided that Wyatt was going to be his "Little Digger" and help him dig in the dirt out back. I think Wyatt needs to grow a little bit more, but I have no doubt that Garrett will be a GREAT teacher and put Wyatt right to work.

Regan did a great job holding and watching Wyatt. Clearly she is an older sister, so has experience with babies.

Wyatt loved his Aunt Pam!

On the drive home, we made a lunch stop at Chick-fil-A. Wyatt got to meet one of the cows. Since Jonathan and I have been Chick-fil-A fans for years and have enjoyed many of their calendars, it was fun to share that with Wyatt.

Most of the drive home, Wyatt snuggled up to his blue bear and moose and slept like a champ. He really was a good boy for his mom.

Milestones

I've been trying to capture pictures of Wyatt at least once a week and at his month milestones. Here are a few pictures of his latest milestones.

Wyatt is laying on a blanket that was given to him by a dear friend of mine. It took less than 24 hours for it to become Wyatt's new favorite blanket - or as Jonathan and I call it, the Magic Blanket since it almost always can put him to sleep in 2 minutes or less.

This outfit was given to Wyatt by some friends who have been stationed in Hawaii. I LOVE the surf boards - it reminds me of the beach and San Diego...my favorite place on earth.

It's Hard Being Wyatt

As a new mom, it's often hard to gage if I'm being a "good mom" or doing the right things. I look at friends of mine that I can see are great moms, doing creative things with their kids and their kids just love them. With Wyatt only being a few months old, I wonder, am I being a good mom? Well, as I post these pictures I realize, maybe being a "good mom" would have meant I would have picked my son up and comforted him when he started crying...but instead, I picked up the camera and started taking pictures - but he was just SO CUTE! Oh well, I guess I have ways to go before I can reach that coveted "good mom" status.
