Thanks again to Kathryn who can make pretty much anyone look good, because poor Wyatt was definitely struggling. He smiled for the first few, then somehow became stoned which then headed into hysteria. In his defense, he did have a fever later that day. But... now we get to look at these fun pictures and Wyatt can't stop gabbing about how adorable he looks.
Wyatt had his pictures taken today. He was not the best subject to be had I'm sure, but Kathryn worked her magic and produced some really good shots (that I'll post later). Until then...here is a little teaser.
Wyatt and baby _____ might need this for their room one day! I thought it was pretty cute. But first, I should probably try and hang up the pictures I already have and put some real sheets on Wyatt's "big boy" bed (aka the crib that converts to a day bed) that just came in the mail. I think Wyatt prefers sleeping on a regular mattress, as opposed to the piece of cardboard that came with the most uncomfortable portable crib ever made.
"In 2001 some researchers asked 12,576 Americans in a survey when their birthday was. The results came out as 5th October being the most common date where most people are born. This works out to be approximately 690,000 Americans with the shared birthday of October 5th. This is the main theory as to why this is the most common birthday, which is: To be born on this date, a baby would most likely have been conceived on New Year's Eve – which makes sense really."
That's right, my special day is also shared with a few others. But that didn't stop me from having a bomb day. I talked to lots of family and friends (and also loved all the messages and texts!), ate everything in site (which actually takes place on every other day as well...i just didn't feel guilty), and opened some fun presents! I also came home to a banner made by Sean. This may have been my most favorite part of the day.
It read:
He then went on to sign every person's name in my family and his family on the banner. (bc my mom used to do that on all of our bday banners growing up).
We walked to the subway, and down the stairs, on to the subway we went.... up/down more stairs, under the bridge, through the homeless community, around the gang/construction workers (I must admit, at this point I was a little scared for my life), through the tunnel, THEN through the woods, and down more stairs to the Little Red Lighthouse....
You can read all about said Lighthouse here.
The trip was a long and tiring one. But it was fun. Most of the time :) I think the mid afternoon "snack" at Shake Shack (after we got on the wrong subway home and went way past our stop, then had to head back uptown) was well deserved.
Wyatt has turned in to a treat fanatic. I'm actually a little concerned. If you give him a taste of a treat, you can just plan on him eating the rest of it. And if you resist in any way, he will scream. It's really quite adorable. Just ask all the guests at 40 carrots in Bloomingdales who were trying to enjoy their luxurious lunches while Wyatt shrieked until he was given bites every 5 seconds.
Hey, at least he is cute? I mean it's always worse when the kid that is throwing a tantrum is ugly. Am I right?! Oh come on, you all know it's true.
Hmm, I would like that entire yogurt. NOW!
