Recently, we went out for the evening and returned late than normal. Both boys were really fit-to-be-tied. They were extremely fussy, and we knew that our bedtime routine was not going to be fun. As usual, Wyatt finished his bottle well before Parks did and Randi was trying anything to keep him occupied. So, she started blowing air in his face by squeezing the bottle. He started to die laughing. Most of what is on the video below was the second round of laughter because I was still in the process of feeding Parks and the video was in another room. It must have gone on for 4-5 minutes and had both of us cracking up. Here's the video of what we witnessed.

Our Easter Outings
We were able to see our families this weekend. My family came down on Saturday to visit with us just after we moved. It was my parents, my sister and her family, and my brother and his wife. We had an easter egg hunt with all the little ones and ate some fried chicken.
Randi and Parks out on the lawn. Parks hates the texture of the grass. I'm sure it won't take long before we can't keep him out of it.
Randi and Wyatt. Look at those "pearly whites?" Still no teeth for Wyatt yet. By the way, Parks has four already.
My mom and Parks. It was a windy day, although you couldn't tell it from Park's hair.
The whole brood.

Parks 
Wyatt, can you say CHEESE?!
Parks lasted about 15 seconds in the swing, but it was just long enough to get a picture.
Randi's mom with Wyatt in the swing. Wyatt ended up getting a nice halo sunburn a the top of his dome.
A perfect picture of Parks, clinging to daddy all day.
Mister Personality
Over the last week, the boys have really started interacting with one another. 
Ah, peace and quiet...at least for a few minutes.

Happy 10 Months Wyatt & Parks!
Wow!! Half way into March and no posts since 2/26. We have been feverishly preparing for a family move that is actually happening this weekend. Amid all this chaos, we want to mark the boys 10 month birthday today. They are both doing very well and are staying with Randi's mom overnight while we pack up everything.
Wyatt is still wearing his Starband helmet, but we are going for a scan and fitting on Monday. This will give us an opportunity to see how much he's really improved over the last month or so of wearing it. He is starting to become a lot more vocal....no more Quiet Wyatt. He loves turning things on and off, i.e., his crib soother, lights, electronics. He also loves toys that spin. In preparation for our move, his development has been assessed twice in last week. In both assessments, he scored extremely well in his fine motor 0r stationary skills and about 3 months behind in his gross motor or locomotive skills. He sits up for hours at a time and has just learned to roll over consistently. There are no real signs of crawling yet. He is 27 1/2 inches long, only 1/2 inch behind Parks. He was 2 inches behind him at birth. I knew he hadn't been gaining weight at his normal pace lately, so we were relieved to see it was because he was getting taller. We were so excited to see that he is on the growth curve for height (15th percentile) for the first time since birth.
Parks is now full blown in the middle of separation anxiety...mostly for me. It is so bad that I can't leave the room that he's in or even walk by the door opening without going into meltdown. He's got the temper of my side of the family. He is pulling up on everything and crawling very well. He gets frustrated because he wants to do more than his abilities will let him. We really think he'll be walking before his one year birthday. He LOVES the Baby Signing Time video and getting his picture taken. He is a stout little thing. He weighs 21 pounds and is 28 inches long.
We have some great pictures and video over the last three weeks that we will post soon. We are both ready to get settled in own new town and have it be the last time we make this kind of move. We really do feel like we are coming home this time.
