Some more videos for your viewing enjoyment

I love looking at his little feet in this clip



I have to be pretty sneaky to take pictures or get video of Wyatt these days. He usually turns around as soon as he hears the camera. That is why you can hear Jeremy and I discussing the movie "The Usual Suspects" in this clip. I just thought it was so cute how Wyatt was talking to himself so forcefully.

Christmas fun!

We had a very lovely Christmas, with presents in the morning, and dinner at our friend Julie's in the evening. This is Wyatt opening a present from his aunt Heather! Its a snow globe with his picture in it, and he was fascinated by it.


Wyatt opening a set of books from one of Jeremy's co-workers, Sara.




I like this picture because both of my boys are wearing all blue.


Enjoying the light and water show at a local mall


Wyatt likes to share his food these days, even if its imaginary.


The day Wyatt turned 10 months old, he was so excited he decided to learn how to clap.

Its the most wonderful time of the year!

Merry Christmas, everyone! We are missing our families back home, and wishing we could all be together, but we are also enjoying LA with less crowds and less traffic. We hope everyone has a truly blessed Christmas. Joy to the world! Happy Birthday to our Savior!

Here is our paparazzi picture of Wyatt's wild night out on the town

On Tuesday, we were in Westwood. It was a brisk 50 degrees, which is cold for us in LA.


Wyatt before we put his pants on. Doesn't he look like a gymnast?











This is Wyatt trying to make the sound that his daddy is making (like the pop in the song "Lollipop")


Wyatt has been trying new things recently, and he can get a little frustrated if things don't go the way he expects or wants them to.

A Happy Guy!

Wyatt bouncing with with Summer and Jack!


Now that Wyatt is crawling and walking, he sometimes finds himself in some tight spots that he's not quite sure how to get out of.


Wyatt is really enjoying walking with the assistance of anything he can get his hands on. Here he is walking with a box that we have weighted down with some bowls!

Thanksgiving Fun!

This picture pretty much sums up how we have been! We have been very busy with a wonderful visit from Grandpa and Grandma Park from New Jersey for Thanksgiving. Jeremy also had some time off from work, so we were able to do some cool things as a family.


Do you see any resemblance? I like how Wyatt seems to have the same facial expression as Grandpa in these pictures


Same mouth!


At Dim Sum on Thanksgiving Day with Grandma and Grandpa



At the Grove for our marathon hang-out (we were there for about 4 hours while we waited to go have Thanksgiving Dinner)

Wyatt having a blast in his new toy from Grandma and Grandpa!


On Tuesday, we went to the Natural History Museum. Jeremy and Wyatt on top of the trunk of a Redwood



Jeremy and Wyatt in front of some Alaskan elk? I can't remember what type of animal they were


Wyatt and I in front of a polar bear. Can you believe that we are making the same facial expressions? I don't know how he does it!!!




Wyatt's First Christmas Tree!

Soo Busy!!

It all started last Tuesday, when we went and voted! Here is a picture of us at our polling place.



That night, Jeremy and I watched as the election results were coming in. Strangely, Wyatt went to sleep at 5:30 pm that night. We just thought he was tired from our busy Halloween weekend. It turns out that he was getting his first cold. Here is what his face looked like when he woke up in the morning:


On Saturday, Grandma Mare came into town from Kalamazoo to watch the taping of Jeremy's episode. Wyatt is moving his hands so fast in this picture, they look invisible.


On Tuesday, we visited the set and took pictures with Kevin Clash, the guest star for Jeremy's episode. Mr. Clash is the creator of Elmo, and he brought Elmo along to take pictures with the cast and crew of The Game. Elmo and Wyatt became friends instantly.


This is the set of "Mookie's Joint", the "Sesame Street"-like show that Jeremy created for his episode.

We also had an opportunity to visit with Aunt Sato and Cousin Suzie.


Doesn't Wyatt look like a toddler?


This week was packed with adventure and excitement.

Recovering from Halloween

Can you spot the real Kermit? Wyatt and I visited Jeremy at work on Friday!


Here are some of the reject/blooper pictures that didn't quite make the cut for our special Howe-lloween edition last week:



You can see my hands, and Wyatt's dissatisfaction


"Who is this lady that sounds and smells like my mom?"


Wyatt got to hang out with Jack, Austin and Jack, his buddies from church.



Wyatt loves taking baths! Splashing is his favorite, besides drinking the bath water...



Last Friday, we had dinner with our friends Chris and Aaron Ballard, and Colin and Shiho Johnson, with their 3 month old Ame. Delicious Peruvian food, Scoops and good friends!

Happy Howe-lloween!

We hope you all give and get lots of candy!!!

Here is the picture that inspired our costumes this year:


and here is our interpretation:


Here we are as Jim Henson, Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy!


Wyatt has heard that a shiny, big-toothed grin is very important in Hollywood. Do you think he overdid it at the dentist?


This is Wyatt as Kermit the Frog, but without pants.


Wyatt in his homemade Jack-O-Lantern costume.


This is Wyatt's cold weather hairstyle, for those frosty Los Angeles winters


More pictures soon!
