Wyatt (GASP!) is Almost Two?!?

I can't believe this little man will be 2 years old next month!!! Sometimes, when I think back to last year, I think he was just a baby, but it wasn't last year- it was two years ago!! He brings such joy to our lives, its hard to remember what life was like with just one child!! 
Wyatt definitely hit the terrible two's- about 6 months ago! He's just a quick developer, what can I say!?  He's got a strong attitude and knows what he likes and what he doesn't like and he's quick to call you on it! He still loves to be held ALL THE TIME still. He runs right up in front of me and says, "Up! Up! Up!"  and when I don't pick him up, he cries and cries and cries. Sometimes he will settle for holding my hand, but not usually! He is still quite the mama's boy, without a doubt! Poor Levi doesn't get too much snuggles these days!
Sleeping still isn't his strong suit. He goes to bed great, which is a plus! But he will still wake up and cry some nights, for no reason. He usually goes to timeout then, even if its 3am, so I think he's starting to get the hint that crying isn't worth it. He wakes up in the morning anywhere between 5:45 and 6:45 and is always happy! But naptime is a different story- he wakes up so grumpy!! But nothing a few snuggles and watching a show won't cure!
He loves Max and Ruby, Backyardigans, Wonder Pets, and whatever else Grant watches (usually Octonauts or Mike the Knight!). He plays on his own very well! Some of his favorites at the moment are Little People, airplanes, puzzles, shape sorters, and all Grant's Imaginext toys! He loves riding his little bike outside! He zooms around so fast! 
He wears 12-18 month bottoms, 24 month shirts, and 18 month jammies! He's starting to become a little true to size- he's always been on the small side! He is in a size 4 diaper and a size 6 shoe. He loves wearing his ball cap when we go out and about. He finally cut all his teeth. They aren't in all the way yet, but I think the worst is over!
He says quite a few words, but hasn't started putting sentences together. He's a late talker like his brother was. But if Grant is any indication, he won't shut up by the time he turns 3!! 
He is such a sweet boy and has such a good heart. He's very sensitive and is always sympathetic to anyone sad or hurt. He gives the sweetest kisses, grabbing your chin and pulling you close! He is a funny guy and loves to make everyone laugh! So even amongst all the tears he gives us, he still makes us smile most of the time!!
Next week will bring big changes his way- new house, new room, new roommate, and new BUNK BEDS!! We will see how the transition goes!! 

Love you my little sweetie!!
