A quick update....

Well I wanted to get one more post in before the end of October...that did not happen! So I wanted to kick-off November with a post right away....and here I am on the night of the 3rd thinking I have to get it done or it will be Christmas soon. As many of you (but probably not all) know we are expecting baby #2 at the end of March. I'm not sure how this ties in with not posting lately....except maybe that I've been pretty wiped out in the evenings? And I've heard a few comments that I haven't mentioned the "news" on the blog. So there it is. The "news"! And the bigger news is coming on Friday when we find out gender of Baby H! I will try to post that this weekend. So here is the latest with Baby- scratch that Toddler H #1 - Mr. Wyatt. Full of life, sass, and curiosity.

A year ago for his 1st birthday he got a battery powered John Deere tractor from Papa Pat and Nana B and Uncle Chris. He tried to climb on and pushed the pedal starting the tractor into motion. He was terrified. The tractor became a stationary fixture in our living room as a on/off toy that did not move. The wagon that came with was a handy toy-box for these months of it's quiet life. One day in October, I decided it was time to try again. So I hauled it outside and put Wyatt in the driver's seat.

The first go with mommy holding down the pedal and he's still not sure what to think....

And then the realization of the excitement and freedom at his fingertips or really at his foottips.....

And then the get-a-way......"bye bye Mommy"....

And then Daddy catches him and tries to help him steer.

He wanted to drive his tractor by the big tractor!!

And that is the end of the stationary tractor/toy box in our living room!
