Wyatt's Dedication

While in Idaho, we had Wyatt Dedicated at Nampa First Church of the Nazarene. The pastor at that church is the same pastor who married us over 9 years ago in Seattle, Washington. We thought it would be so special to have him dedicate Wyatt and were thrilled that so many family and friends were able to celebrate with us.

My brother, Brent also said a prayer of dedication for Wyatt. What a special blessing for all of us - and what a lucky boy Wyatt is!

Both of Wyatt's Great Grandmothers were able to travel from Washington state to come to the dedication. This is Great Grandma Peterson, my father's mom.

This is Great Grandma Lindley, Jonathan's father's mom. (Papa Lindley is also in the picture)

Peterson Portraits 2009

For the Christmas Holiday, we traveled to Idaho. On December 18, my folks hired a photographer to come to their house and take some pictures of our family. Here are a few samples of those pictures. I must say, Wyatt did really really well, better than I could have expected.

These are pictures of my parents, my brother and sister-in-law and their two kids, Noah (7) and Lexi (4), and of course, us (Wyatt's 8 months old).

This fire truck was a present to Wyatt from Grandma and Grandpa for Christmas. It ended up working well as a prop for the photo too!

Meeting Santa

Early in December, we thought it was time for Wyatt to meet Santa. We started out by having him meet the Chick-fil-a cow dressed as Santa...that went OK.

Next, it was time for the big guy. To my surprise, Santa was hanging out in the food court, so I thought we'd check to see how Wyatt reacted to Santa before we got our formal pictures. Drum roll......... he wasn't real thrilled.

But, I would not be discouraged, so decided we'd still try the formal pictures on Santa's lap. Luckily, those ended up turning out really well. I couldn't decide if I wanted Wyatt to have the hat on or not, so we took pictures both ways. Isn't he a cutie pie!

Not sure what he asked Santa for, but Wyatt's been a good boy this year, so I'm sure he'll get what he asked for. :)

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving morning, Wyatt and daddy picked up a paper and started checking out the coupons. Lots of good deals to be had come Friday morning!

A co-worker of mine invited us to their home for dinner. We had a WONDERFUL time with them, great food, great company, and more great food.

They have a 16 month old that Wyatt loved playing with.

My co-worker's husband gave their son a lemon for the first time. To all of our surprise, he really liked it!

November Smiles

November was a great month for Wyatt. He's really mastering sitting up, he cut two teeth, started to crawl, and he got his first car. Here are some highlights!
