Moving

From this...
To this...
Hopefully we can do more of this...
 Though I will miss this...
And this...
And this...
And this year round...

Ryan got a job in Sandy UT. We were not even looking for a job but a friend referred him and he got the offer 1 week later. It feels right to go despite how much I will miss Santa Barbara and my job.  It will be wonderful to live near family and live somewhere more affordable! I think Eli believes we will live at his grandparents houses and he will play with grandpa's and their toys all day! We hope to be there by Christmas!

A little about Wyatt. . .







My sweet little bug -and I do mean little. The last measure showed him <5% for height and weight. He is an active one; always wanting to keep up (or at least watch) his older brother, though he is a little scared of him as well.  Wyatt loves swim lessons and splashing in the water.  He doesn't even cry when he goes under. He is crawling and cruising like many 10 month olds but recently in a fit of tears, he let go of the couch and took 3 steps toward me! Now I won't say he is ready to walk but it was cute to see him try.  Speaking of crying, Wyatt is in an attachment phase where he constantly wants to be held or near Mom (Dad will work too if Mom's not around). He is also not a great sleeper. Essentially waking every 2-4 hours since he was born. Now I know many of you say we need to let him cry it out but I am not a fan of that since we tried it with Eli without success. Though I am tired this is working for now- 'but please Wyatt any time you want to learn to sleep longer is fine with me...' Wyatt is our sensitive guy. Anything new can get him upset but he generally grows accustom with time. He favorite sayings are 'mama,' 'baba,' clicking his tongue and waving his hand for hello, goodbye, pointing, saying I want, more, and anything else. He has such a cute smile that lightens my spirits!
