Poor Little Guy

Didn't Wyatt look all happy in the pictures of his first tooth? Well this picture should make you want to cry. This is the sweet face I have been looking at since 8:30last night when Wyatt awoke from his deep sleep and began screaming because he was in so much pain from his second (and maybe 3rd and 4th) tooth that is trying to come in. I have never seen a baby so unable to calm himself down or put himself to sleep. He slept maybe 5 hours last night and only an hour and a half today. (normal is 12 hours at night and 4 hours during the day)We have had him on tylenol every 4 hours and orajel all night and day and decided late this afternoon to give him ibuprofen. (Thanks Grandma!) He fell asleep at 5:30 and so far...so good. Please pray this little guy is able to rest tonight. It breaks my heart to see him like this.

**Update: We took Wyatt to the doctor today (Wednesday the 17th), wyatt has a throat infection and fluid in his ears. Good to know it wasn't just teething, he is on medicine and has slept the whole afternoon.

Yo...I got a tooth!

My sweet Wyatt finally got his FIRST tooth. I know...seems rather late...I actually was going to request x-rays at his next dr. appt to make sure he had any under there. Thankfully he proved that he does and he is already working on his second one. Yippeee!!! Despite being a little cranky it hasn't been that bad of an experience...of course we have been anticipating this event for a long time now.Bring on the Steak!!



Notice the teething drool all over my little gangsta.



I think if you look really close you can see his first tooth.

Walking...well...sort of!

I took this video of Wyatt walking with his walker yesterday morning. He is growing up SO fast.

Thanks Jennifer for telling me about the free video flipper!!

Wonderful Weekend

Hey everyone. We had such a great weekend. My parents and brother drove in to see us Saturday morning and stayed until yesterday afternoon. We celebrated my dad's birthday and enjoyed catching up with my brother. Here are some pics from our weekend.

10 Months Old

Wyatt turned 10 months old on Sunday. I have been meaning to post thing blog since then but with school starting back...I sorta haven't had time. We just can't believe he is SO close to being 1 now. It really seems like yesterday that he was still so little. He has the sweetest personality...so lovable, so laid back and always curious about the world around him. He LOVES playing with Maddie and thinks she is the funniest person he has ever seen.

Here are a few of Wyatt's new tricks:
*Crawling like a champ now
*Pulling up on everything
*Eating a few more solid foods (I'm still amazed at this because he still has NO teeth)
*Can sign "more"


Crawling up on his excersaucer


Crawling toward Momma

Here is a video I have been promising my mom I would put on here of Wyatt crawling. He no longer crawls like an inchworm and can now go pretty fast!
We love you Wyatt and you bless our lives every day!

The Olympics

So Maddie has become a HUGE fan of the Olympics. She begs Nick and I to stay up and watch them at night before she goes to bed. This morning I kept noticing her running back and forth but really wasn't paying much attention...I just kept on doing my housework. When I finally sat down I noticed Maddie squatted down and then she would sprint to the wall. She had done this probably a hundred times before I caught on that she was trying to run like the men and women she had seen on the t.v.
I wished I would have kept the video going because after this sprint she said, "Mom, I'm all sweaty!" I'll just bet I won't have any trouble getting her to lay down for a nap today.
