Getting Ready for Thanksgiving!

We are getting the Walberg household ready for Turkey Day in Ohio!!  We told Wyatt that we are going to see Grandma, Grandpa, and Auntie KK after 2 good sleeps.  Well, yesterday he kept asking to see them and play with all the fun toys that Grandma has.  We said he could after he had 2 good sleeps. So, when we put him in his carseat to go home from the library he "slept" in the carseat:) He so really ready to come to Ohio!!!

The boys are having fun wearing their turkey hats around and getting in the spirit of turkeys and saying "tanks" for all our blessings!!!!

8 MONTHS

It feels like I just did Tucker's 2 month post yesterday and here I am already on number 8!!  The days just aren't long enough and they move to fast for this mommy!!  I am so loving my job as a mommy of 2 sweet boys.  I love the fact that my boys have each other to play with, fight with, and make sweet memories with each other. As much as I don't want to wish away any sweet days that I have with them I do look forward to when I can watch and hear them play together and talk and be buddies:) 

As our little T-Man keeps growing each month it seems harder and harder to catch him!!! His highlights this month:
*He will eat anything!!! Be it food or not:) He is still nursing and he is definitely a fruit lover, veggie tolerator, and puffs fiend!! The puffs are especially nice in quiet places like church or a wedding:)
*This kid is not only crawling and pulling up on everything he has started to "walk" along the furniture!!! 
*We are still working on the "sleep through the night" thing:)  For the most part he sleeps from 9pm to about 7am.  However, he likes to keep us on our toes with some 2 am feedings or even 5 am feedings.  But at least he goes back to bed! (As a side story-Daddy took the kiddo on a 2:30 am ride in the car just a couple nights ago because he was NOT having a good sleep!  That was the first and hopefully only time that will happen in our lives:) He fell asleep in the car and Daddy just brought him in in his car seat and let him sleep in that til morning.  I think we all woke up a little happier the next morning:)
*He loves to scream and growl at us:) Not yet saying anything...he does seem to jibber jabber a little bit, but most just screams and growls:)
*He is starting to pay a little more attention to music. When we sing or Wyatt is watching his Veggies Tales sing along video he likes to listen!  It even helps comfort him a little when he is cranky.

*He is affectionately called The Leach!  Any chance he gets he will crawl up to you and crawl up your leg to stand or into your lap.  He has no personal bubble and loves to try and get your face with his mouth or his hands. He just wants to be "in your space" at all times:) It is fun when you are playing but dinner prep is a little harder when there is a "leach" attached to your leg!

God at Work...

Tucker Paul has been sleeping in a pack n play since he has been born.  First it was a little half sized one with a bassinet. Then without the bassinet. Then a large regular sized pack n play.  Well, this little man figured out how to get under the mat in the pack n play and also how to pull the sheets off.  Needless to say we have been searching for a crib...one to borrow, buy, or just take off someone's hands.  

God answered our prayers with a nice FREE crib and mattress!! Tucker got to enjoy it for the first time last night...I think he likes it:):):)

A Star in the Making!

Wyatt has had his first big performance! This little two year old performed exactly like I thought a two year old would:)  He didn't sing one song, didn't clap at the right times, and by the end...there were tears:)

 The bible study that we go to every Thursday has been prepping them and teaching them and loving on them for weeks.  Today we got to see the little people in action:) I remember having these same 'shows' the last two years and Wyatt was not in them. I didn't even stay because it was just a bunch of kiddos I didn't know trying to sing or crying or not standing up right.  Oh, how I have changed:) Daddy came to see his little guy too and cheer him on!

 I couldn't see him from my seat so I had to get closer to find him...oh, there he is laying on the ground trying to army crawl! I didn't know that was part of the song:)

 But, he got to top off the big performance with fun at McDonald's and the playplace.  So all in all it was great!!!

 Tuck got to enjoy the view from his car seat...the little nap ended just in time for us to pack up and go home:)
