Thank You Ms. Jessica and Ms. Alyssa!

Ms. Jessica and Ms. Alyssa are Wyatt's teachers at The Sloan School. They are the best baby teachers I have ever worked with at the school. I left my digital camera with them today in hopes they would snag a few pictures of him in his cute outfit. Well, they captured some amazing pictures. I knew Wyatt was happy when he was with them but I had no idea he was this happy. Thank you Ms. Jessica and Ms. Alyssa for taking care of my precious child with such love, nurturing and compassionate hearts. We love you so much!

Another great thing about the school is that Wyatt doesn't get love just from his teachers but all the teachers. Alot of them go to the baby room during their specials, lunch or after work just to love on the babies. That just fills my heart with so much joy. It relieves me knowing that its okay that I'm not a stay at home mom because he is loved all day long by so many "mommies". It takes a village to raise a child anyway right?

Ms. Lizz and Wyatt having so much fun!

My amazing boys!

When I looked at the picture below I started to tear up thinking about how much this picture means to me. This time last year I was struggling with the fact that yet someone else in my life was pregnant and it wasn't me. Was I ever going to get to hold and love and cherish a baby! Little did I know just a mere month later our 2 year (very long) wait for a precious baby would be over. It was so hard to wait and my faith was constantly challenged but when I look back today I am oddly enough grateful for the wait. It gave David and I more chances to bond as husband and wife through some pretty tough times and solidify our marriage even more before we bring this precious life into our world. We are amazed by our "bubby" every day and still can't believe God has blessed us with such a miracle. I hope we can live up to Wyatt's expectations. I know he has fulfilled everyone of ours and he can't even talk yet. So to my amazing boys I love you more than you will ever know!!! I have to stop typing now because I am crying tears of joy!!!

David is taking Wyatt on their "just the boys" walk. He takes him to a special tree and they talk.

First Trip to the Park

Since it was such a beautiful day today we took Wyatt to the park for the first time. We have an awesome park by our house with walking trails and all kinds of things to do. Although Wyatt couldn't do anything but ride in his stroller he seemed to enjoy it. I think he is going to be a real outdoors boy! Just like his daddy!

This picture cracks me up. He looks like he's saying "Yeah, we're at the park. Big deal. I'd rather be at the deer lease."

We're sleeping thru the night!

I hope I'm not jinxing myself by posting this but for 4 nights in a row Wyatt has been sleeping through the night. Monday - 8 hrs, Tuesday - 7 1/2 hrs, Wednesday 8 1/2 hrs and last night 8 1/2 hrs. I am hoping since he has done it for 4 nights in a row that this is now reality. Please let it be true!!! We also upgraded his bottle nipples and diapers all this week. I can't believe how fast he's growing.

I absolutely love this picture of David and Wyatt. The second night he slept through the night Wyatt woke up at 6:00 am and while I was getting ready for work David fed him. At 7:30 am, right on time with the baby wise schedule Wyatt fell asleep. So did David (sort of). His eyes were open and I told him to close them so I could take the picture. My sleeping babies! So cute!

He's trying so hard!

This video cracks us up. Wyatt is trying sooooo hard to suck his thumb. If he could just get his thumb out. He gets so frustrated at one point you'll hear him growl (towards the end). After I shot the video I put his pacifier in and he passed out. So precious!

Are you ready for some football!!!

Wyatt with his game gear on. Even though he went down for a nap right before the game started, he's still cheering them on in his dreams. Go Cowboys!!!

Mystery Bird

One of the many benefits of living out here in the middle of nowhere is the wildlife. We have seen rabbits, foxes, coyotes, roadrunners and now this mystery bird. As much of a wildlife fanatic as David is he's not sure what this bird is. At first he thought it escaped from the Ft. Worth zoo. Last thought is its probably a really old male eagle. It is beautiful and very large. Check out it's claws. I was feeding Wyatt and David said you have to come see this bird. We got as close as 10 yards and the bird didn't even flinch. In fact, it was so not phased by our presence that he pooped. I know that doesn't sound funny but you had to see it. If you know what the bird is please let us know.

Besides the exciting wildlife adventure today everything else on the homefront was pretty boring. Wyatt and I hung out today while David showed houses. I think Wyatt is having a growth spurt because his afternoon was pretty cranky. But his morning was full of smiles. He melts my heart every time he smiles. We're getting geared up for the cowboy game tomorrow!!! Go Cowboys!!!!

So Much To Talk About

OUR HANDSOME MAN!

I was informed by a friend via text today that I needed to update my blog. I thought I didn't have much to blog about and started to think about what I would blog about and realized I have a lot. So Misty this is for you......

Wyatt will be 2 1/2 months tomorrow and he is growing by leaps and bounds every day. His teacher told me today he didn't eat much of his morning bottle because he was too busy talking. He gets that from his Daddy! He used to love to talk just in the morning with his Daddy but now he likes to talk all the time. The other night on the way home he talked to me for a good 15 minutes and then passed out for the rest of the car ride. Which he has gotten used to being in his car seat for 2 hours every day. He used to cry alot in the beginning but I think he finally realized you know what this is happening every day I better get used to it. We have realized that Wyatt has very strong leg muscles. He very easily stands in your lap when you hold him facing you. Sometimes he's so strong and trying to stand so much its hard to hold him while sitting down. He is also smiling so much. I still feel like I want to cry every time I see him smile because I just can't believe this beautiful baby is ours.

This past weekend for labor day David had to go to the deer lease to work the big dove hunt and I got a little scared because it was the first time for Wyatt and I to be left alone overnight. Although I didn't like it we did survive and we'll have to get used to it because in a couple months David will be going to the deer lease every weekend!!!! I"m hoping Wyatt's charm and smile will convince him either not to go or come home early!!! We'll see how well I can train Wyatt. My mom did come over on Monday to keep us company and gave me some free time to get a few things done. Because of course I don't like to leave Wyatt's side. If he's awake we are totally playing with him and I don't want to miss a single minute. I do think Wyatt got bored with me this weekend because we he was a little fussy if we weren't constantly doing something and he went to sleep easier if there was a lot of noise in the house. This is all because of the school. He's such a busy body and likes to know everything that is going on. In fact he hardly napped at school today because I think he was so excited to be back at school and be with his friends and favorite teachers!

I think we will be putting our house on the market soon. We did the "country thing" and are ready to move back to North Arlington. Especially me for 2 reasons: 1) long drive to work and 2) the drive is missed time with Wyatt. He's so tired after school and the car ride that when we get home sometimes he wakes up for his bottle and goes back to sleep. That doesn't work for me. I need some play time. Even though he's at school I don't get to play with him. David feeds him his 7 am bottle . I'll feed him on my lunch hour at 1 pm. Then David feeds him again at 7 pm and he usually does the 10 pm bottle because I'm either cleaning up after cooking or washing bottles and getting our bags ready for the next day. And then I feed him at 3 am. So..... I need my playtime with Wyatt. So if you know anyone interested in buying a beautiful 5200 square foot house in the booming town of Mansfield please send them our way!

Ok.. I think that's enough for now. Until next time......
