tired girl

too tired to stop playing before falling asleep!

who needs toys...

...when you've got a big box! i taped up different parts of the flaps on this box so that one end had the doors and the other end had a window. 30 minutes of in-and-out, door-opening-and-closing fun!

claire watched wyatt's box fun while having her first experience in the bumbo! she kept leaning to the right...she needs a little more practice, but i think she enjoyed it for the most part.

daddy's little helper

wyatt LOVES being outside, and especially if his daddy is out there! he's even wearing one of his daddy's hats here!

matt's gearing up for the spring and summer. so far he has white potatoes, tomatoes, peas and corn planted (there are probably a couple others, but this is all i can remember right now!). lucy is staying cool in the shade, watching matt and wyatt work in the "smaller" of the two gardens in our back yard!

nice hat!

my sweet friend gwen came to spend the day with us today! we decided to go for a walk this evening so we put our jackets on because it had gotten breezy. this was the first time claire had ever worn this jacket (or a jacket in general!) and so it was also the first time we saw what the hood on it looked like. ...it seemed normal off...not so normal on....it looks like a certain type of hat to me, i just can think of what kind of hat that is?? chef hat? cone head hat? strawberry shortcake hat? here is a picture of claire strapped on gwen in the bjourn....what do you think?

1st guitar lesson

we can't believe this is the first time matt brought out his guitar for wyatt, but it is. he looks so tiny compared to it! he enjoyed strumming and dropped the pick inside ...matt eventually shook it out! little claire watching...

big boy bed!!!

it took us about a month to get around to finally making the guest bedroom into wyatt's room, but we did it! it's definitely still a work in progress, but it will do for now. wyatt seems to really like it and he's doing great!! he's excited to get in bed at night. hopefully that will always be the case!

gatorland

this one is for uncle j and auntie ree! they gave claire this onesie before she was born. i even captured her participating in their favorite pastime – the nap! :)

"fort"

we built our first fort today!

it was by far the easiest fort ever built, and looked more like a tent! wyatt thought is was fun and insisted that "care" come in with him. she just lay there looking around while he could barely be still long enough for me to take these pictures! thankfully claire made it out with no injuries!
