Wade

Little Wadey-pie has been growing up! People keep commenting on how big he looks and how he looks like a big boy instead of a baby now. He's saying so many things, walking quickly around, enjoying playing on his own some, and definitely making his likes and dislikes well known!

His neck is completely straightened out now, so we were released from PT a couple of months ago! It's wonderful to be past that semi-worrisome and physically draining time.

Here are some things I wrote about him recently in my ongoing word document that I'm keeping with kid's sayings and doings:

Me: Who wants more cheese?

Wade: “I – ooo! Chzze!”

He’s saying so many words – “bad” for bed (loves going onto the guest bed and playing), “I do too!!!” with anything Wyatt and Garrett are saying “I do” to. Thank you is "tu-tu," bottle is "bobble," and donut is "do-do!!"

He loves shoes and will often walk around in other people’s shoes. Has started obeying really well after a session with Daddy practicing obeying. Will say “Meh Mom” and obey if I remind him to say yes mom and obey. Will put toys away as I direct him, shoes in the shoe basket, etc. Loves to crawl up the stairs and is starting to want to bump down or slide down feet first backwards. Often wants to stop on the middle landing for a while just to enjoy surveying the room.

Loves finding balloons in books and will point and say “ba-oon!” Likes his Bob the Builder colors book, and will point to it and say, “Bob!” and “Hat!” Loves dogs too and notices them in books and out on walks. Loves the park, especially the swing and climbing on the play equipment. At the nursery at a new church, we were all surprised that instead of being happy to come to me when I picked him up, he turned to the lady who was holding him and said, “No! Hug!!” to her and didn’t want to come to me! Daddy is his favorite person by far. When Jim left for a conference for 4 days, he cried bitterly off and on for several hours and would walk to the door and say, “Daddy!! Daddy!! Bye! Hug!”

Is starting to say “Wy-att” for Wyatt, and can barely say “Ga-ett” for Garrett. He loves playing with them. He adores playing “squish” with Daddy and bros at night before bed. Jim “squishes” them and they squish him. Wade squishes his stuffed animals all the time, and loves to gather his little blanket and some stuffed animals under him when he goes to sleep in his crib at night. He loves his “pups,” a name for all of his stuffed animals except for his “lammy” – lambie pie. When he is done in his highchair or with his bottle of milk, he wastes no time in saying, “Done!” or “Out!” He absolutely loves going to Costco with Jim and the boys on Saturday morning! He walks around the house beforehand saying, “Cah-co, Cah-co” and Jim says he gobbles up anything they give him!

Here are lots of the latest pictures of sweet Wade:

Our last day at Physical Therapy - yay!!

 

 

Wade's first time enjoying the sand area at Flatirons Mall:

He absolutely loves going outside to play with his big brothers!

 

Or doing anything with them, for that matter!

 

Playing squish

 

This is the adorable way he hugs his stuffed animals, or "pups":

 

Loves to wear glasses of all kinds, Wyatt's CEF prize ones, ...

 

... or Daddy's ...

 

Doing great at feeding himself!

 

 

Loves the lawnmower with Daddy!

 

Putting the puffs in the holes of the parmesan cheese container is fun ...

 

Wade's little spot in the camper when we camped this summer:

 

Loving the swings!

 

 

Getting to enjoy snow in the backyard for the first time!

 

 

Following in his brothers' footsteps; putting unwanted food in what Jim and I quickly named the "rejection slot"

 

Not so sure at the grocery store!

Isn't he a cutie? We love him!
