Happy Halloween

Wyatt had his 4 month checkup yesterday and he weighs 13.5 lbs and is 24 1/2 inches long. He got 2 shots and started running a fever yesterday and today he has croup. We talked to the docter tonight and we have our orders. We did the steam shower and then took him straight to the freezer to breathe the cold air. He seems to be in a pretty good mood despite his "barking". It sounds so painful. My heart breaks for him. Loving on him after he gets shots is one thing but when your child gets sick. Oh my goodness, the world stops and all I want to do is love on him and make the sickness go away. David was supposed to leave today to go to the deer lease for opening weekend. But he is staying to see us through the night. If all goes well he will leave in the morning. I'm so glad he stayed because I don't know if I can get through this without him. This was us this morning before he started feeling yucky. I was the football referee and he was the football player and the bottom half of his costume is a football. He was sooooo cute!!

Practice makes perfect - well sorta....

We started Wyatt on cereal in his night bottle all last week. We only put a teaspoon and a half in his bottle so he could get used to the texture. That seemed to be going well, so yesterday I decided to practice with the spoon. He only ate 4 out of 6 ozs of his bottle and he was in a great mood. So I thought this would be a good time to practice. As soon as I took the spoon out of his mouth this is the face he gave me...

We tried 3 more times after this picture. He eventually got the hang of it. However, his tummy did not. I will spare you a picture but let's just say for every bottle there after he had a "rear" explosion. They were out of this world stinky! Needless to stay I did not put cereal in his night bottle last night and today so far he is back on his pooping schedule. Just in case you were wondering.

Green Meadows Pumpkin Patch and Animal Farm

We went to Green Meadows pumpkin patch and animal farm by Joe Pool Lake today. I'm still nervous about taking Wyatt out into public places. Not because of a reason that would make sense like people touching him or germs but because I'm not sure how he'll act and I'm not in my secure environment to deal with it(I know it's silly). Oh yeah, he's not a big fan of his car seat. If we're moving in the car it's fine but just sitting there, no way. So getting out today is the start to taking him out more often and it went better than I thought it would. We met up with friends to celebrate their son's 1 year old birthday. It started with a picnic by the lake. Then ended up at the animal farm. Not so much a pumpkin patch. I got a lot of great pictures. Here are a few....

Right before we got to the park Wyatt started fussing. I thought oh no. Said a little prayer and as soon as we got there we got him out of his car seat put him in the stroller and he started laughing and smiling. (Swiping my forward..ok I can do this).

It was a little chilly when we got there so had to put the cute hat on! He had fun watching all the action at the lake.

Took a little cat nap before the goats.

He had so much fun looking at all the people and all the animals.

This was Wyatt when we got home. He took an extra long nap after the park!

Thank you for inviting us. We had a great time (despite my fears). Happy Birthday Miles! You look so handsome.

Not sure what to say about this pic...

Wyatt has started a kicking frenzy anytime you lay him on his back. He gets to kicking so fast and moving his arms up and down. Looks like he might take flight. I wanted to take a picture of him in this outfit before he spit it up on it and this is what I caught......That's my boy!

Look out Exersaucer Here We Come....

Wyatt had his first experience in the exersaucer at school...

and at home..... the one at home might have been a little over stimulating but I know he'll get there soon. Before, I know it he'll be bored with it. But until then, I think I'm gonna love this thing!

True Dallas Cowboys Fan!

Wyatt's favorite thing to watch on t.v.(i.e. hold's his attention the longest) is Dallas Cowboys football! This was from last weekend and I couldn't get his attention off the game. Granted he only watched it for about 5 minutes, but he was sure focused on it. Maybe he's learning some plays for his future career!
