Update

Yikes, it has been a while since I last blogged! I was planning on this being an everyday thing but I guess not....ha. I can't believe Wyatt will be 6 months old in a week! Times does fly by fast it seems like it goes by even faster when you have a kid. I get all sad when Wyatt outgrows his clothes. But at the same time, it really is amazing watching him grow and learn new things. Like today, Bryce was playing peekaboo which Wyatt really likes then Wyatt had a blanket over his face and every time Bryce said "where's baby?" Wyatt pulled down the blanket from his face. Wyatt can sit up now! He's not sitting up straight yet but he can sit for a while and just play or whatnot. He ALMOST crawled today! I am so excited about that. I do need to start babyproofing the apartment very soon! When I think about it, the apartment really can be a dangerous place for a baby that is moving around. I am excited to see what he will be like in 6 more months when he's one year old! Hell, there are a lot of things I am excited about and looking forward to but also, I just want time to stand still and Wyatt stop growing. People told me to just cherish and enjoy the time I have with Wyatt while he's a baby because he would grow up so fast and now I see what they meant by that. Recently Bryce and I got pretty sick with nasty colds but it didn't seem to affect Wyatt at all or if it did, he didn't seem bothered by it. But I think it has hit him now but not too bad. It's a very mild cold for him if that's the case. He's still a very happy baby. He hasn't cut tooth yet but I think it's going to start if it already isnt now. He woke up earlier not happy tonight after I put him to bed which never happens. So I fed him and put some orajel on him for the first time. Since I'm a first time mom, I'm still figuring out a lot of things as I go. Thank goodness for my mom, my mommy friends, and the internet! It's been about a month since I started school again and it has been a little daunting handling the apartment, the baby, and school. I really have no idea how my parents did it with 4 kids! But so far I'm doing alright with that although some days are stressful! Bryce has his hands full with work and school but I think what we're doing right now is for the best and it works for us. The nice thing is Wyatt is such an easygoing baby so he makes it easy for us. So we lucked out with that. Ok, I am going to attempt to put some pictues on here. I am still getting used to this whole blog site.....here goes.....




Those are recent pictures I have taken of Wyatt. I have taken hundreds and hundreds of pictures of Wyatt so far. I kind of feel bad for the kid because the flash is always going off! Haha. But yeah, technology nowadays is amazing, I can take probably a thousand pictures on my camera and have them saved and backed up then take them to the store to get prints. I don't have to buy film or even get prints if I didnt want to. I have a very nice printer that prints good pictures and I use that but if I want to print multiple pictures, I just can take it to Walgreens or Walmart and print them all up for cheap. I love that! Ok, I think this is good for now.....I'll try to make it more of a habit to write here more! Until next time.....

Tuesday post

So, Wyatt has been staying with my mom (Grandma) while I'm in class. It's working out so far. I have been trying to give Wyatt rice cereal but sometimes he doesn't want to take it. So i guess it depends on the mood he is in. On Monday he almost ate the whole bowl but he was still hungry after that so I gave him a 4 oz bottle then he went right to sleep after that. I think Wyatt is starting to develop a personality. But then again maybe that's just wishful thinking. But he is a happy baby overall. When you talk to him, he smiles and sometimes talk. He's not quite sitting up on his own but he is getting there. I will need to clean up our apartment soon because he will be crawling and we don't want him getting into anything bad! I am really amazed at how much Wyatt is growing and a lot of times I wish he would stay small and not grow up! But it's still very exciting watching him grow up! :)

Sunday's adventure

So I said I may not be able to do this blog thing everyday. So, on Sunday It was a crazy day for me. Wyatt was good in the morning and all that good stuff like he always is. It wasn't until Bryce left for the gym when things got hairy. I was holding Wyatt and he spit up on me and him. THEN he decided to poop so it's normally no big deal but on this day, it leaked out of his diaper and got all over his leg and on me! So I changed into clean clothes and got him cleaned up and he needed a bath. So I got him in the bath and I was just about to put on a washcloth on his penis so he didn't pee everywhere when he peed but right before I got that washcloth on him, he peed all over me!! I didn't want to leave him in the tub by himself so I didn't bother changing clothes so I washed him up and all that. Right as when I was getting him out of the bath, he peed on me again!!! We have a nickname for him, "Wee Wee Wyatt". He was living up to that name that day for sure! And in the  meantime, he was not a happy camper, he was fussing and crying. The funny thing is this usually happens while Bryce is gone. So of course this happened while Bryce was gone. I managed to get Wyatt calmed down and whatnot. I defintely needed a shower that night! I can say so far, I have been peed, pooped, spit up on, and all that good stuff so far with Wyatt. But i would not trade it for anything in the world!
