This weekend was Wyatt's first time on a bike ride since I returned to work THREE months ago. He rode with me on Saturday, and on Sunday Papa Dap took his first big ride with the smallest Parrish. We intended to ride together on Sunday....but ran into complications when I couldn't find the right shoes with the right cleats to fit the pedals for the bike that doesn't pull the "chariot". Should it be so complicated??
Regardless, it was very nice for all of us to get outside. I stopped with him Saturday to sit on a park bench looking over the Trinity River at an isolated part of the trail. Surrounded by big trees and the sounds of birds and locusts....little Wyatt was trying hard to be attentive to everything, and doing so with a sweet little boy smile on his face. It was great sitting in the shade with a nice breeze, and for some most fortunate moment...no mosquitoes.
Cici and Grandpa Bob returned home from vacationing in Sanibel Island, Florida. They came bearing gifts...Wyatt scored a great new cap that looks quite dashing on him, when it doesn't fall over his eyes. It is nice to have them home...and we are all hoping Cici's treacherous knee feels better soon!This evening, there is a Cowboy game...very noisy downstairs and, despit
e some apparently very bad calls, I think they are holding their own. Grandma and Grandpa Parrish were here in time for the game...and a little look outside around the house with Wyatt before dinner and bath time. Wyatt was so tired, and I'm afraid to say a little grumpy. I almost forgot to mention that the little fellow has been without a pacifier for 4 nights now. He is breaking my heart as he cries himself to sleep...but papa strongly believes it is time for him to learn to sooth himself to sleep. I think he is learning, but I'll be glad when he truly gets it.Last note for tonight, Wyatt is so close to crawling....and he is sitting up like a champ. I know
we are on the verge of a huge milestone any day now. Must get video while he is still rocking back and forth! And....must find a new music box to replace the snow globe we played every night at bath time....smash! He moves so quickly now, and when he decides to roll over and grab something....you just better be ready!!

Oh, my heart feels for you, having to listen to Wyatt cry, but my head is with Papa Dap. It is so hard, but it is so much easier to do now than when he gets older, past those milestones that are just around the corner.
He is getting more hair! Is that a curl in the front?
He is still so precious, even if we only get to see him in pictures and with your descriptive words.
Its October already.... please update!
I am still so bummed next weekend is not working out for a lunch! So close, no cigar.
