A conversation with Wyatt

Thought I'd share a typical conversation with Wyatt....

Me: "Say ma-ma"

Wyatt: "Da-da"

Me: "Say ma-ma"

Wyatt: "Da-da"

Usually he just says "dadadadadada", but no mama yet. Oh well, he is certainly a mama's boy, so I guess that will have to do for now:)

Figured I'd better share a picture too...

Here is a picture of our dashing young guy at Josh & Erin's wedding...(Josh is Clint's cousin)

Wyatt did good and enjoyed dancing at the reception!:)

Wyatt is 6 months old! (Well...6 1/2)

I guess I'm a little behind in updating on Wyatt turning 6 months (which was November 1)! He had is check-up on the 4th and here are his current stats:

Weight: 15 pounds 2 ounces (10th percentile)

Height: 26 1/2 inches (50th percentile)

Appears that everything is normal...and he is doing great!:) We've really started working with him on sitting and he's been doing pretty well with that. We also just started him on cereal...that was a fun experience:) Here is a pic of him eating in his new highchair:)

Wyatt meets Fall...and pumpkins

Since this is Wyatt's first Autumn, I figured that I needed to get his picture taken with some pumpkins! This was easier said than done!:) Here is the progression of our "photo shoot"!

Here is Wyatt's first introduction to pumpkins.....probably the best pic I got...(of course my hand has to be in the shot!)

Wyatt looking a little unsure of his surroundings...

Wyatt discovers crunchy leaves.......

Wyatt trying to eat the leaves.......:) (Of course I HAD to snap the shot before taking the leaf from him!)

And the inevitable....this was what brought our photo shoot to a grinding halt! Not sure if it was the crunchy leaves, the cold, or the fact that I took the leaf away.....But we did get a few cute pics in when daddy got home...here are those....I still think his very first pic was the best:)

Wyatt's favorite things

Wyatt will soon be SIX MONTHS old! I can hardly believe it! It's amazing the changes that he's gone through already...and seeing the new things he is learning and doing...it's incredible! So, as we're approaching the six month mark, I thought I'd post some pictures of Wyatt's current favorite things:) Enjoy!

He loves eating his feet...

sucking on his bottom lip...

watching Bailey...

playing with his feet and pulling his socks off...

playing with his toys...

his mommy...

sucking on this tag on his inch worm...

chewing on his fingers...

and pretty much looking cute ALL the time!:)

Wyatt and his cousins

It's been too long since my last post...and I need to get some new pictures up! Since baby Wesley finally got here today, I thought I'd post some pics of Wyatt with his cousins!:) He has a couple older cousins, but also a couple that arrived after him! Here are some pics with each of them!

This picture was taken at the beginning of August when Wyatt's cousin Henry was born! Here is Wyatt with his new cousin Henry and big cousin Cole! I have a feeling these 3 will have a lot of fun together!

This is Wyatt at the end of August with his big cousin Riley! I think when the boys are big enough, she'll be telling them all what to do!:)

Last but not least, here are Wyatt and cousin Wesley meeting for the first time today! I bet these two might be pretty mischevious someday! Now grandma and grandpa each have a baby to hold!

Scary moment with Wyatt

I am sure that this is just the first of many times that Wyatt will scare his parents, but I pray that I don't have to go through this again!

On Friday evening, I was nursing Wyatt and had set him up to burp, he did burp a tiny bit so I knew he had more. But all of a sudden he started screaming this scary scream that I'd never heard before. I told Clint that something was wrong...cause this wasn't normal. It was almost a grunting sort of scream, as if he were choking and trying to get something out...but what in the world could he be choking on?!?! So Clint thought he'd try burping him...Wyatt continued to scream like this and he kinda went all lethargic. This is when I noticed that he seemed to be turning blue and going pale! I grabbed him from Clint and told him to call his mom (a nurse) or call 911. We didn't know what to do. Wyatt began sweating profusely all over his neck and face. Since it seemed as though he was "choking" I ended up laying him over my lap to push on his belly while I patted his back.

At this point Clint had already called 911 and we could hear the sirens...As I was patting his back like this, it sounded as though air was released from him or something like that...so I sat him up and he stopped screaming. By the time the paramedics got there, which was super fast, he was smiling at them...crazy boy! They said that he sounded fine and that everything seemed okay! He was still very pale and it took about a half hour for his color to return to normal. We ended up deciding to call his dr. to see what she would say...and she said that it did sound like a choking episode...had no clue you could choke on breastmilk! We are thinking that it may have been like having something going down the "wrong pipe".

Wyatt has been fine ever since, but we were certainly on edge for the rest of that night! Since Wyatt is a boy, I am sure that he will scare his mommy in lots of other ways in the future, just praying that this was a freak thing that we won't have to go through again! As we went through this, I was reminded of Abraham and how he had to trust God with his child...and not that I'm comparing myself to Abraham, I just thought of how I needed to trust Wyatt to the Lord and be thankful for each day with him!

Wyatt is 4 Months old!

Wyatt just reached the 4 month mark yesterday! He celebrated by rolling from his back to his tummy a few times! He had rolled once about a week and a half ago, but wouldn't do it again until now! This morning he rolled a couple more times!:)

Today he had his 4 month dr. appt. He weighed in at 14 lbs. 8 oz. and was 25 3/4 inches long! 50th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height. A bit of a change from his 2 month appt. where he was in the 90th for both height and weight! Dr. said he is doing good! And mommy survived the shots without crying this time:)

Here is a picture of Wyatt's favorite thing to do right now.....loves to grab his feet! So cute!:)

I will post some more pictures soon!
