MU vs. KU Football game

Derek and I had good seats, row 10 in the end zone - student territory. It was an awesome game and we were so tired the next day - but it was worth it!
M-I-S-S-O-U-R-I!!
We went with some of Derek's family: Denise, Dana and Dallas.
" Scoreboard, scoreboard, scorboard !!"

I took this video with my camera right at the end of the game, everyone was chanting "Number One!"

First Haircut

Wyatt received his first haircut (at 4 months old) this week. I took him into the barbershop on the square in Savannah.
Our friend Donnie Blair did great work!
Wyatt wouldn't let the cape deter him from trying to eat his fingers.
Mid-cut, Wyatt did great but tried to wiggle out of his Bumbo seat - what he was sitting in for the cut. He never cried, which surprised some of the guys in the shop.
" Why does this taste so funny? Why is my mouth full of hair?!" He ended up getting hair stuck to his face, hands and mouth.
"Who do I look like? Mommy thinks I am ready for the Navy with my military cut."
Donnie and Wyatt, our old neighbor Dana is Donnie's daughter. Donnie is a great Mizzou fan; when we were talking about the MU-KU game in a few weeks, he said he wouldn't go down there with that bunch of KU Fans around! Go Tigers!

4 months old!

Here are some random pictures from the last week or so. Wyatt is four months old and very fun! He talks and blows bubbles and likes to sleep on his belly. He will immediately roll to his belly if you lay him on the floor. Sometimes he gets he legs up under him like he is trying to crawl - watch out Mom and Dad!
Wyatt is blowing bubbles and makes raspberry sounds with his mouth - then ends up slobbering everywhere!
He can sit up when leaning against the back of the chair or couch, but will try to roll over (and off the furniture).
Wyatt and his first ride in the combine! Derek's boss Leon took us around the field a couple times while cutting beans. Leon and Wyatt are good buddies from way back.
Wyatt was pretty entertained with all the noises and action in the cab. That is until he got hungry and we had to go home. Thanks Leon, we hope to do it again!
Derek and Wyatt at the breakfast table dicussing the days work. I wonder if Wyatt would drink coffee from his bottle yet?

Happy Halloween!

Derek and I took Wyatt trick-or-treating this year. We didn't get around as fast as we thought and missed visiting a few people we had wanted to. Wyatt was very well behaved and got a few treats! He was a bat (if you can't tell) and the only problem was strapping him in his car seat with his huge stuffed costume.
Batman Wyatt at Grandma and Grandpa Holt's before we left for town.
Mmmmm, fingers.
Great-Grandma Vesta, Wyatt and Dad. Wyatt slept through most of his visit at Vesta's.
Wyatt and Great-Aunt Cindy - a great close-up of Wyatt (or little D).
Wyatt in his pre-costume Halloween wear. This is one of the few pictures I will get of Wyatt on his back anymore, he is rolling over all the time! And rolling clean off the blanket, his Mom taught him her log-rolling skills.

Parent's Weekend

This weekend Wyatt and I went to Malta Bend, MO for the Sigma Kappa Parent's Reunion weekend. My soroity friends and spouses, kids and parents got together to watch the Mizzou football game. We had a great time at Cilff and Paula Gauldin's house. Can't wait for next year!
We dressed the kids up in their Halloween cosutmes. Wyatt (bat), Sam Jost (tiger), Ben Winker (kangaroo) and Keileen Burt (Piglet).
Here are my parents with Wyatt and Maverick (the dog).
Wyatt got hot in his costume and was having none of this posing for pictures anymore. Sam is trying to figure out what is wrong with Wyatt.
Sam and his Dad, Gregg - getting ready to cheer on the MU Tigers!
Jessica and Wyatt, while we are decorating pumpkins.

3 months old!

Wyatt is 3 months old on 10-11. He is holding his head up really well and acts like he wants to crawl.
He is a funny little guy and laughs a lot.
After his baths, we have to comb his hair so he doesn't get bed-head.
Here Wyatt is in his cow-towel watching Derek put lotion on his legs.
Construction on our new garage has finally started! First up, deconstruction of the two old sheds to make room for the garage. The contracter tore them up, them lit them on fire and what is left will fill the hole where an old cellar was. I saw this and thought a tornado had gone by!

Happy Fall!

Wyatt received his first pumpkin this past weekend from our friend Don Callow. We went to that Farmer's Market to pick out big pumpkins and we visited with Jessica's Dad Don.
Aunt Keri came to book club at our house last week. Everyone liked my t-shirt!

Our friend Cara came to book club too, Wyatt and her get along really well.Whew, all those ladies wore me out!
The CTA at South Holt gave us a baby shower. Here we are with our cake, it was cute AND delicious!
