Wyatt and his cuteness!

A tale of a little man trying to not just make it in life but also have tons of fun. This journey would involve much taste testing. (As Austin would say "Everything goes straight into his mouth". It's my theory that the mouth is the best way to quickly get acquainted with an object/person...)

Presenting: The One, the Only, Wyatt Keith Olinger!!!
Here he is modeling mom's "cheeto" hat.

"Doesn't taste like a cheeto.."

"But biscuits are good to eat!"

"Mommy and Poppy are pretty great too! They give me plenty to snack on!"

Pre-November Recap

I made this image by combining a few photos off the internet and then put one of my favorite quotes:
"Human Nature is not a machine to be built after a model, and set to do exactly the work prescribed for it, but a tree, which requires to grow and develop itself on all sides, according to the tendency of the inward forces which made it a living thing."

I like it a ton and may even eventually do a painting from this concept!

October Recap

Dear wonderful family and friends:
I apologize for the tardy update. No excuses, I will do better.

OCTOBER:

Wyatt was dedicated at our Church, Trailhead, on October 19th. The Olinger family (Mom, Dad and Katie O.) and my dear friend Reagan Ann Kemper traveled here to help celebrate the occasion.
It went very well. Austin and I both had to read a statement that basically meant we were giving Wyatt back to the Lord and that we trusted Him with our precious son. Pastor Jeff then prayed for all the families and babies. Wyatt proceeded to "talk" through the entire prayer. Maybe he was just practicing is praying skills.

Erica and Justin came the following weekend to spend time with us. We celebrated birthdays (Erica's and mine), went for a brief hike, went shopping at the mall, and played sequence. It was a wonderful time. We are so excited for the both of them because they are expecting their first child at the end of May. YIPPY!!! Wyatt will have a cousin!

I turned 24 on October 27th! Twenty-four is my favorite number and has been since I was six. In kindergarten my desk number was 24. When I was learning about numbers, more specifically multiplication, I found out many numbers go into 24 (1,2,3,4,6,8,12). Austin and I were married on the 24th of June. The list goes on and on. So yeah, it was a pretty cool birthday. I taught my first art class to some adults from our Church that night. I received so many nice presents (Austin totally rocked the presents this year!). So thanks everyone for making the last 24 years of my life so amazing. I really love you!

Wyatt had his first Halloween and I made him a rollie pollie costume. We didn't go trick-or-treating because he can't have candy so we went to a pumpkin carving party and shopping with him in his costume. I didn't document these events very well so here is the best picture.

SO SWEET RIGHT?!?!

This is getting a little lengthy so I will post one more thing of Wyatt and write more in the near future...I promise.

Family Visit (Part II)

Oh Yeah! Part two! So on Saturday we went to this awesome park about a mile away from our apartment. It was so much fun. There is a few ponds, a killer play ground and beautiful landscaping. I can't wait until Wyatt is a little older so he can enjoy it more.

He wasn't into picture taking at that moment.

Example of the beautiful Landscaping

I stumbled upon these models in this giant tree..."Work it, Work it!"

YEAH!!! I love grandpoppy

Fun weekend with the Fam! (Part I)

We were so happy to have my dad (step style), Naomi and Eli come to visit us this weekend. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH and wish we could see them more often. We went up to the mountains on Friday to a place called O'Fllon Park. It's a modest little park that has some awesome short trails and there is a little stream that runs through the whole length of the location. Wyatt had a great time...we have found he really likes the outdoors.




Along with the hike we took and the million pictures I took. We also played some hill billy golf which is hard to explain but is a really simple and fun game. While Naomi and I weren't playing that we were doing a premature "Senior" picture shoot and practiced our model walk.
Dad and I also through around the frisbee a bit. It was fun to get some fresh air and spend some quality time together!!!

Half Birthday!!!

Me and Fred with my new high chair!!

"W" is for Wyatt!

"OK Mom! I've had enough pictures now!!"

Wyatt is six months old, can you believe it! He has mastered getting his feet up to his mouth to chew on. We bought him this mini high chair that fits onto a regular kitchen chair. It was cheaper and is better for the space available in our apartment!! Wyatt is still too young to have cake so Austin and I celebrated by eating some DQ...Yummy!
