I'm happy to report that Wyatt's first birthday party was a success! We had it on New Year's Day at Grammy and Pawpaw's house (my parents) in the early afternoon. Almost everyone came and there was plenty of food. Wyatt cried a couple of times when we were opening presents, only because he had been up since his morning nap. I tried to keep him up until 12:00 or so to take one nap instead of two, but he insisted on napping at 9 and I couldn't say no. So he stayed up from 10 until 6:30 when we left to go home! He was partied out.
I made Wyatt a cupcake, instead of buying him a small cake. I felt like it would be a waste of cake to give him one of his own. I was surprised that Wyatt loved his cupcake so much he ate the whole thing! I turned my back for only a couple of minutes to help serve cake and ice cream and as soon as I turned around to see Wyatt I noticed that his cupcake was gone! I thought he must have dropped it on the floor or fell on his legs. Jennifer (my sister-n-law) then informed me that she witnessed him eating the whole thing. I was really glad I didn't get a small cake (bigger than a cupcake) because he probably would've gotten a stomach ache!
Here is the cutie anxiously waiting for his guests to arrive!

This is not a good moment for Wyatt! But it didn't take him long to perk up.

Here is a picture of Wyatt licking his tray of what was left of his cupcake! I think I may have a sweet eater on my hands
Wow, Wyatt has really grown! He is a cutie. I can't believe it has been so long since we've seen you all.
