Easter Bunny!

Saturday morning Ryan and I took Wyatt to have his very first picture taken with the Easter bunny. He was great and didnt seem to know what was going on at the time.

3 Months!!!

Our sweet boy is 3 months old! Can't believe how quickly he is growing. It seems like yesterday when we brought him home from the hospital. He is such an amazing little boy and I love watching him grow into the boy that he is and will become. Hope you enjoy the pictures!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAYSON!!!

Today we went to the park to celebrate Grayson's 3rd Birthday!!! It was alot of fun and the weather could not have been more perfect. Wyatt hung out in his stroller and was held most of the time. Just think, this time next year he will be running around. I am going to have my hands full. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAYSON!!!!

Castles & Crowns

This past week I went to a Castles & Crowns children's clothing party. It was so much fun and there were so many adorable outfits for boys and girls. I purchased these three items for Wyatt for the summer. I thought they would be very cute for the beach and summer parties. I have always told myself that Wyatt would never wear the bubbles and all these things. I always thought they were "girlish" but things change and I am starting to come around. It is very hard to find cute boys clothes, I have learned that when I found out we were expecting a boy. So, when I see these adorable outfits I tend to get more and more.. I just hope he doesn't outgrow them before the summer.

Smile!!

Here is a somewhat picture of Wyatt smiling. It is hard sometimes to get him to smile but he is starting to do it more and more. I just never have my camera in hand at the time and by the time I get it, it is too late :( So, Sunday Ryan and I went to Costco to print some pictures and there was one Cannon Rebel left on the shelf and purchased it for me as an early (real early) birthday gift. Now, I hope I can capture those moments at the right time. Hopefully I will get the hang of it over the weekend.

Two Month Checkup!

Wyatt had his two month checkup today with his pediatrician. He is doing great with developement and motor skills. His current measurements are 12lbs. 12oz in weight, 24" long and his head is 15.5". He is a growing boy!!! He also got his first set of shots, it was not fun at all for both of us. The nurse made me hold his arms down and I did not like to see him screaming. I have never heard a scream or cry like this before. It broke my heart, after just a couple of seconds of holding him and calming him down he was fast asleep. I had a little bit of help of a bottle he didnt finish right before his appointment! He loves to have someone talk to him and he will smile, coo and try to talk back to you. He is absolutely adorable, it kills me to go back to work tomorrow but I know he will be fine and well taken care of. His feeding and sleeping pattern are still the same, doctor said once he starts eating 8oz, he should start sleeping through the night. I am waiting for that day!!! Here are a couple of pictures from our weekend with my parents, they went back home today and will come back to visit in April. Wyatt would like to thank his grandma and grandpa for all the clothes and books he recieved for Valentine's Day. Mom, would like to thank you for everything as well!! :) I just hope that he will not outgrow his Easter outfit by then. Well, Wyatt is exhausted right now and is in and out of sleep. I wonder if he will sleep through the night tonight???

Can't Resist

Here are a couple of latest pictures of Wyatt. Recently he has been giving us this look that we can't help but laugh and smile at him. He will stick his bottom lip out and he looks like he is pouting. I would have him on my chest over my shoulder and he will lift his head back and look directly at you and stick out that bottom lip. Also, if we are changing his diaper he will give us the look as well. I absolutely love it and will give him whatever he wants. Most of the time he does it when he is hungry. He has been doing really well lately, sleeping in his pack n play through the night for the most part. He will sometimes only get up once through the night, every night is a little different. He has been eating every 3 hours now and is taking in 6oz. He suprised me yesterday afternoon and had 8oz. That might be why he slept from 5p.m. until 3a.m. I woke him up around 7p.m. to change him and see if he was hungry but he only maybe had an ounce. Every night is a little different, I think once he starts daycare next week we all three will be on a better schedule. It may take a couple of weeks but I think it is going to help out. It was hard trying to get him and us on a schedule before then because things are going to change starting next week. Wish us luck!!! We have another busy but relaxing weekend ahead of us. My mom is here now and my dad will be arriving this afternoon to visit for the rest of the weekend, then Monday is Wyatt's 2 month check up. I will have lots of pictures and updates to post. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Like Father...Like Son!!!

Ryan loves to fish and hasnt been in a little while but the time of year is back in swing. Wyatt recieved a couple of gifts from his grandma and grandpa Adams. He has his very first tackle box and fishing gear. He doesn't have a fishing rod yet, I wanted to wait until I knew what characters he is into before then. Plus, it will be a couple of years before I let him go out on a boat. I can see it now...Wyatt will have floats wrapped all around him. I am looking forward to seeing Wyatt fishing with his daddy. I hope he likes it and it will be great bonding time between father and son. I was able to capture a picture of Wyatt holding onto "Mr. Bass". He is starting to swing at objects and tries to talk to them. It is so adorable, we are still waiting for the day he laughs out load.

Over the Weekend

We had a very busy weekend, Wyatt went to his first birthday party to help celebrate for Walker. All the kids were so adorable and we got a group picture on the couch. Poor Wyatt got wacked in the head by Walker (to his right) but Wyatt shed no tears, just looked at him like what was that! We had a great time, makes me want to start planning for Wyatt's first birthday. I will have to think of something creative for him since his birthday is the week of Christmas along with his daddy's on Christmas Day. My mom will arrive here tomorrow morning to visit with Wyatt for the week. She was here for his birth and was able to visit for a short time until he was taken to the NICU, so this is going to be a nice suprise for her. My dad is following in on Friday to help us celebrate her birthday over the weekend. We have a busy week ahead of us, but some good times. I will be sure to post alot of pictures, I really would love to take some with us as a family but mommy needs a "makeover" before then. I have set up a "mommy is going back to work" appointment for Friday. I am really looking forward to that! Well, Wyatt has his two month check up next Monday and I will be sure to post the latest...sure his will be well over 13lbs. He is already in 3 month clothes and has outgrown some smaller 3 month clothes. He is growing so fast!!!

6 Weeks Old

Today Wyatt is 6 weeks old, I can't believe how fast the time is going by. A quick update on how he is doing, he still has his moments but you can tell his digestive system is maturing. I guess this due to how many explosions I change a day! I am hoping this is the case but we still have a little ways to go. They say colic just goes way over night or anytime. But, he has been doing better. He is still eating about 5 oz each feeding usually between an hour and 45 min. to 2 hours. I try to hold him off till closer to three but it is impossible sometimes. When he is hungry he lets you know and you better feed him. He has the same sleeping pattern, he goes to bed around 7:30 and wakes up around 11:45-12:45 and then again at 2:45a.m.-3:45a.m. The last couple of early mornings he gets fussy but I get him calmed down and back to sleep. Ryan and I get up real early in the mornings so we can adjust. I guess it just depends what time and how much he actually takes before he goes to bed. He HATES his pacifier and I have been trying to get him to use it to have something to suck when he shows signs of hunger. I am not trying to starve my child, but he fools us..well me! He HAS to have the bottle in his mouth to fall asleep, he fights with me if I try to get him to use a pacifer. So, sometimes when he thinks he is hungry he just wants something in his mouth to fall asleep. Of course, I get him a bottle beacause that is what he wants but then I waste so much formula most of the time. This week we are going to work on that so he won't give the daycare a hard time come around two weeks. I only have two weeks with him until I go back to work, I must say I am ready to go back to work but then I am not. I love that he is only going to be about 2 mintues away within walking distance from my work. I can go there anytime to check on him, and I am looking forward to him being in the same class as Olivia. Other than that, I am sure he has exceeded 10lbs. I wouldnt be suprised if he is 12lb.s come the 15th. He has his 2 month check up and he will be getting a series of shots. Wish me luck!! Oh, he also loves to stare at the ceiling and the fans. We got this adorable ocean wonder playmat and he rather lay on the bed and stare at the ceiling. I guess I will save it for baby #2. Maybe he will enjoy it more when he can see more colors and make out more shapes. Well, hope everyone had a great weekend. I have attached a couple of pictures, I was able to get him to sleep yesterday with a pacifer instead of a bottle. I got overjoyed, and the next time he tricked me he got a bottle.

WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO CONGRAGULATE SHAUN AND MELISSA ON THE ARRIVAL OF BABY #2. WE ARE SO HAPPY FOR YOU TWO AND CANT WAIT TO MEET HER/HIM. OH, I CALL SEPT.19TH ON THE BIRTH.

Strollin....

Today I took Wyatt for his first walk through the neighborhood. He slept the entire time and woke up as soon as I got him back into the house. Somehow I managed to push a stroller and handle Tyson on a leash at the same time. I dont think I will try it again, it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be and Tyson was scared of the stroller. He is trying to get used to all these baby things around the house. I hope I get to have a few more walks with Wyatt before I go back to work. Here is a picture of Wyatt with his Air Jordan hat on, it finally somewhat fits. He has some matching Air Jordan shoes that goes along with it, but he needs to grow a little bit more. I can't even get socks to stay on his feet!!

1 Month...

Can't believe Wyatt is already a month old, the time has been flying by and he is growing so fast. Yesterday we had his one month check up and he did really well. Doctor said he looks great. His weight is 9lbs. 12oz. and still around 22-1/4" long. His head has gotten a little bigger at 14-3/4". He has been doing well during the day, we try to get out as much as we can to give him some fresh air. He has been falling asleep around 9 p.m. and waking up around 12-1a.m. and 3-4a.m. for feedings. I havent been able to sleep in past 6a.m. but maybe one day. We discovered last week that Wyatt is a little bit colicky and we think it is due to gas and his relux. It is not as bad as I have heard from other people but he gets upset in the evenings around 5:30p.m. and gets the worst between 7-8p.m. It is sad that there is nothing you can really give them but try to comfort them and do your best to relieve the pain. Doctor said most babies outgrow it by 10 weeks, we are hoping that it won't last that long. Nothing much else has been going on lately, he doesnt like to spend more than 5 mintues on his belly during the day, but he likes it when he is going through his fussiness in the evening. I have attached a couple of pictures that I have taken within the last few days, I really need to get some of us with him. We are waiting for our newborn pictures and family pictures, hopefully we will get those this week. We had so much fun getting them done and he was great.

Lately....

Wyatt had his 2 week check up and it was very interesting. He doesnt like to be placed in his car seat but does very well once we get in the car and get moving. He goes right to sleep. So, we will be working on that. His appointment went very well, doctor is very pleased with his measurements and developments. He is right on target, he can already lift his head and move it around, a little wobbly but he is doing very well. His weight is now 8lbs. 2oz. and length is 22". I guess he lost a half inch when is cone head smoothed out. His head measurement is 14-1/8". So he had pretty much gained a pound since he was born. He is growing so fast and each day he looks a little different. He is eats ALOT! I try to hold him over between 3-4 hours but he sometimes wants to eat within 1-1/2-2 hours after a feeding. He is on mostly formula and I thought that holds babies over longer but doesnt seem to be working that way with him. His sleeping pattern is so different each and every day/night. I have had to sleep a couple of times with him in my arms. He sometimes does well in his swing as well. If anyone has any tips please let me know!!! Being a mother is the most wonderful blessing!!!

Look who is HOME!!!!

Wyatt was discharged from the hospital today and we are so excited to finally have him home. He has been great so far, won't go to sleep but we are working on it. Nonie, he loves his swing. I have attached a picture for you. Tyson is so curious of Wyatt he is constantly at his side and wants to give him kisses. I can already tell he is going to be very protective of him. Thank you to everyone for all the prayers and thoughts throughout this time for us. We are thankful to have him home with us. We greatly appreciate everything!!! I have attached a few pictures for you all to enjoy. HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

Wyatt at 5 Days Old

Today we visited our little guy and he continues to do well. He is eating well, he has gained the few ounces that he lost and is pretty much back to his birth weight. His blood work is coming back normal each time they take it, so the antibiotics are working. The doctor believes he got a bacteria infection during labor. They want him to get the full 7 days of antibotics even if it has cleared after 3-4 days. He has a little bit of jaundice but nothing that is keeping him there in NICU. It is slowly going down each day. The nurses love him and say he is an easy baby, lets hope that continues when we take him home. We can not wait to bring him home!! Please continue to pray for our little guy. We appreciate all the thoughts and prayers that we have recieved throughout the past week. They have been heard and we are blessed to have such wonderul family and friends. Take care!!

More Christmas Pics

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas to all our friends and family. Hope everyone has a wonderful day! This morning Ryan and I started off our morning with a Christmas breakfast and then got ready to head down to wish our son a Merry Christmas. Wyatt is doing great, he was moved to a crib yesterday and held his temperature up through the night. His blood work has been coming back great each time. They did a second spinal tap yesterday and it came back negative. The doctor was concerned that since I was given an antibotic during labor for a fever that it may have been transported to Wyatt and that can possible give the test a negative result. But, they did a second one and it is fine. We talked with the doctor today and said Wyatt is doing well and we will look forward to bringing him home on Tuesday. Please continue to pray that he stays strong and healthy. I have attached a few pictures from this morning. Have a great day!!!

Update on Wyatt

Most of you know that yesterday mid morning we found out that Wyatt needed to be transfered to the NICU for some blood work and observation. The night he was born I ran a fever of 101.7 and was put on antibotics during labor. Wyatt ran a little fever as well. We kept him in the nursery that night and they noticed he could not keep his temperature and it was borderline at 97.4 to 97.8, they want it to be no lower than 97.6. Our pediatrician decided to have some blood work taken and it came back elevated in his white blood cells. He was then transfered to the NICU for more blood work and a spinal tap. He has been on antibotics since then. He has kept his temperature good. All his other vital signs are perfect according to the nurses. They said that durning labor he has caught an infection and will need to be treated for a minumium of 3 days but he could be up here for 7 more days. I know our little guy is going to be okay but it hurts so badly inside for Ryan and I. I now know what a mother's love is for her own child and I can see the same thing in Ryan. It hurts to see him like this and know that you can not do anything to help your child but to let the doctors do their job. You can tell he knows when we are there to visit him and it is so amazing to see how much just talking to him and rubbing his back or head and he knows we are there through this for him and love him so much. We just want our son to get well so we can take him home to love on him. We should find out some more news this morning. We are about to head down to NICU to visit him. We are being discharged today but they are going to wait as long as they can. Please keep us all in your prayers and thank you everyone for the calls and well wishes. I am sorry if I have been short or did not return calls, it has been crazy and hard for me at times to try to talk to anyone.
