Smiles :)

I was able to catch a few of Wyatt's smiles on video. He tends to be very happy and smiley in the mornings after he eats. He must get that from his Dad because I am not a morning person at all (that is why I work night shift)! I think Daddy may have told him that he better smile if he is waking Mommy up before 9 am! :) This morning after he ate, I tried to lay him back down in his pack n play to get a little more sleep. Instead of going to sleep, he starting smiling and laughing at the teddy bears on his mobile! Seeing him smile is the best feeling, even when it means I am getting up earlier than I like :)

Go Colts!

Here we are modeling our Peyton Manning jerseys, getting ready for the first preseason game. Unfortunately, Wyatt had to stay at Grandma and Grandpa's while Mom and Dad went to the game. He didn't seem to mind much :) I think he has a different Colts outfit for almost every game so stay tuned for more to come....looking forward to football season!!

One Month Old!

Wyatt had his one month check up at the doctor on Thursday. I can't believe how much he has grown over the past month! Here are his stats from this visit:

Weight: 10 lbs 11 oz (74th percentile)

Length: 22 in (68th percentile)

OFC: 35 1/2 cm (8th percentile)

He has gained 4 lbs in his first month!! No wonder he eats all the time :) And he still has a little head...at least it is growing! He is meeting all his developmental milestones so far and the nurse and doctor couldn't believe how alert and active he is. He didn't even cry when we stripped him down for his weight. We will see what they say next month when it is shot time....

He is starting to smile alot when you talk to him and it is so cute! I love hearing him make new little noises when he gets excited. He is also starting to really enjoy bathtime. He especially likes to have his hair washed with the warm water running over his head :)

Wyatt enjoyed his first official Indians game on mommy's birthday. He liked being carried by Daddy in his carrier but wanted to be held during the game. He wasn't sure what to think about all the noise at the game. Luckily, living with Peyton has made him pretty used to loud noises :)

Growing Boy

So I have been running a little behind on my blog updates...I have found it is a little more difficult with Wyatt around! He keeps me pretty busy! I haven't quite figured out how to type one-handed very well, so the blog has suffered :) Right now, he is laying in my lap asleep, so let's hope it lasts...

Time is flying, just like everyone said it would! Wyatt is 4 weeks old today...too bad the last 4 weeks of pregnancy didn't go this fast :) He is getting so big already! He has outgrown alot of his newborn outfits, mainly in length. He loves to eat, but is not a very good burper, which means that I spend alot of time with him on my chest trying to keep him from spitting up. Which, he usually ends up doing anyway :) Sometimes, I feel like that is all I get done is feeding and burping him. I have been lucky that he has taken well to breastfeeding. The bad news is that I have discovered that his tummy is sensitive to dairy...and I love to eat ice cream in the evenings! However, I have decided that the ice cream is not worth being up half the night with a baby with a tummy ache (it is still tempting at times!).

He had his first pediatrician appt when he was 6 days old and proved to be very healthy! Here are the stats from that visit:

weight: 7lbs 3oz (32nd percentile)

length: 21 in (90th percentile!)

OFC: 32 1/2 cm (7th percentile)

So, looks like we have a tall skinny boy with a small head :) Since he had gained enough weight since birth, we don't go back for a weight check until 1 month old, which is next week. I can't wait to see how much he has grown. I am guessing that he weighs around 8 1/2 or 9 lbs now. Here are some pics:

Where I spend most of my time! And of course the dogs have to be right where Wyatt is all the time :)

Check out my moves!

Look how good I am at tummy time!

Photo Shoot

Wyatt had his first photo shoot when he was 6 days old. The photographer who did our wedding came to our house and took the photos for us (Randy Baughn-www.randallsonline.com). I think they turned out beautiful! Randy is a fabulous photographer and great to work with. Wyatt was awake the entire hour that we were taking pictures. We don't have one pic of him with his eyes closed! We even stopped for a feed during the session and still no sleep! At least the pacifier kept the crying to a minimum :) Here are a few of my favorite pictures:
