3 months old And Fishing

Today Wyatt hit 3 months of life with us. What a ride! He has really settled into life and our family. He loves to chatter and smile, which is so fun to see. He still wiggles constantly, which sometimes makes it very hard for me to take a picture of him. He loves the morning, and just cracks us up how happy he is when we go to get him out of bed. It takes him forever to have breakfast because he wants to greet everyone and can't stop smiling. We are still working on his naps, but since he sleeps 10-12 hours a night about 5 nights a week, you will not hear me complaining.

He spends so much time wiggling, that sometimes this is the smiling shots we get.

Today we also got to go on a much anticipated fishing adventure with Brandt and Rena. Brandt has spent the spring and summer learning all of the best fishing spots in the valley and shared his expertise and fishing poles with the boys today. They had a blast. They each caught a fish that we kept and one more that was released.
Rena helping Henry reel in his catch. I think he may have hit the record for longest time to reel in a fish in a small pond. He was so excited to see it, and immediately grabbed the line and touched the fish.

Gavin reeled his in alone, but you can tell from his face that he is a bit worried once he caught sight of the fish. He was the best at focusing on fishing and following Brandt around to get him to show him the details of fishing. (He was also the one that harassed Brandt all summer about going fishing once it was cool enough.)

Gav refused to touch the fish, but when it slowed it's flopping he was more than glad to pose and keep and eye on it.

Gavin's excellent casting skills.

Relaxing by the lake.

Sadly, for my boys. I know nothing about preparing, cooking or eating fish. So we sent ours to the Loo's house since they have skills in all of those areas. Henry and Gavin both stated on the way home that they are excited to eat the fish. We'll see what they say when the time comes.
