4 Weeks Old Today!


Well, we've hit another milestone. Wyatt is 4 weeks old today and where has the time gone. Our little man continues to amaze us as he grows and changes (it seems like) every day. We are still in awe that we have a child. David and I will still look at each other at the oddest moments and say " Oh my gosh, we have a baby!". I must say we have turned into quite the set of parents. At first we were scared to death and now we have adjusted and are just going with the flow. Going with the flow is now my daily motto. I tried putting him on the Baby Wise schedule last week and it didn't work too well. I had to remind myself that it's ok if he doesn't want to do the schedule yet and he will eventually sleep through the night. Well to our amazement he did go 6 hours last night without a bottle! Hopefully that's just the beginning. Today we are on a feeding schedule and it seems to be going well. He had a checkup yesterday and weighs 8 lbs and 11 ozs. The doctor said he's gaining weight like crazy. And I said because all he wants to do is eat and stay up and play. He does not sleep as much as you would think during the day. He is very active and wants to check out everything that's going on. And I have tried every tactic to get him to sleep and he just doesn't want to. The doctor said some babies like to sleep all day and some want to play. We have a player! I have 3 1/2 weeks left before I have to go back to work and I am enjoying every minute I can with Wyatt. I am so thankful that when I go back he will come with me to work. We are very excited the Ms. Jessica will be his first teacher!

2 weeks old today!!!


We just can't believe Wyatt is 2 weeks old today! Something else that amazes us is how much in love we our with our little man. He is the most precious thing to us and we can't imagine life without him. Even though he is not so precious when he decided to stay awake this morning from 3 am to 8 am. I finally woke David up and said your turn and all he did was love on wyatt for a minute and he fell right to sleep. He's Daddy's boy for sure. He had his 2 week checkup today and everything went great. He weighs 7 lbs 2 oz and grew in length 1 1/2 inches. He has already outgrown his preemie clothes. While the doctor was examining Wyatt she said he was going to be a very "active" child. I asked her why she thought that and she said he is very observant and looking all around and very strong. While he was getting his pku done he kicked the nurses tray off the table twice. She said he was the first baby to ever do that. Looks like we are going to have our hands full with our little man. Besides David and I being sleep deprived and our days and nights a little mixed up we are doing great! We are officially a happy little family!
