Sweet Wyatt turned 7 months old on Saturday. I just can't believe how fast time has flown by. He can now sit unsupported...although he will teeter totter to get a toy... and coos and growls at us all the time. He is eating 3 meals of baby food now and is as healthy as can be. He weighs 21bs. 6 oz and is 26 1/4 inches long.
This past weekend, Nick and his dad had to go to the farm to move cattle. Maddie loves to go to the farm so they took her along. Here are some pics of our farm girl.

I'm sure she was telling them something really interesting.

My little brother came home Thursday evening from Iraq. Words cannot express how thankful I am for his safe return. Wyatt and I flew to Dallas Wednesday morning and then drove to Georgia with my mom and dad. We arrived in Georgia at 3:30am Thursday morning and spent the day relaxing and patiently waiting for his plane to come in. I am heading back to Abilene tomorrow. Our plane should land around 4:15pm...just is time to spend some of my mother's day with sweet maddie and wyatt. Here are some pictures from out trip.
Today is my sweet husband's 28th birthday. Maddie woke him up by singing Happy Birthday to him and then we noticed she had pink eye. Nick has stayed home with her most of the morning. So the day didn't start out great BUT tonight we are going to dinner at the Olive Garden (Nick's favorite restaurant) with some of our life group friends to celebrate. I also bought him a delicious cake from McKays to top off the evening. Oh yeah and then tomorrow night we are having a family dinner with his parents. So here's to Nick...the world's best husband, most amazing dad and best friend anyone could have!!
Our sweet little Maddie turned two and half yesterday. Tonight when I was putting her to bed I couldn't help but think of when she was a tiny little baby and how she has become this amazing little girl. We prayed so hard for her little life and from the moment I knew I was pregnant with her she has brought us nothing but JOY.
So in Honor of this milestone...here are a few reasons why I love Maddie:
1. She seriously is the most beautiful little girl.
2. I love that most days when she wakes up her hair looks gorgeous and I don't have to try to fix it.
3. She loves to pray and talk about Jesus.
4. She tells me she loves me a million times a day.
5. Her sensitive heart that will one day be her greatest asset.
6. She loves her baby brother and is very protective and sweet with him. (reminds me of another big sister I know.)
7. She is incredibly smart...her memory baffles me and her language is impressive. (even the speech path in me is amazed)
8. Her voice in beautiful and she loves to sing. She has started making up her own songs to her daily routine.
9. Her kisses are the best and she gives them often.
10. Her smile can melt my heart.
Maddie, You are the answer to our prayers. You have brought so much joy to our lives and we thank God for your precious life every day.
Love you sweet girl!
Hi friends. Well we have reached a milestone. Our sweet Wyatt turned 6 months old today. I REALLY can't believe that 6 months have passed. He has changed so much from the little guy we brought home from the hospital. He has the sweetest personality and LOVES to laugh and sqeal at us. He also loves his Big sister who pretty much keeps him amuzed...which helps on car rides. He is a momma'a boy through and through. He gives me BIG slobbery kisses every morning when he wakes up and every afternoon when I pick him up from daycare.
He has the craziest hair these days. It is SO wavy on top and I believe he will have curls like Maddie. It absolutely will not comb down anymore.
He started solid food this past weekend and loves the veggies we have given him so far. As you can tell from the pictures he doesn't miss a meal and is extremely healthy. We take him for him well baby visit on May 5th so I will update his stats soon. Thanks Wyatt...you have made the past 6 months pure joy for your daddy and I. Our lives would not be the same without you!
