Wyatt's 6 Months!

Like I said in the last post, we went to visit Kevin's brother's family last weekend. We had such a good time. We went up there Saturday afternoon and were sure to make it back by kickoff (for the superbowl). Saturday night, we thought it would be fun to let B feed Wyatt. That was enough entertainment to last for a while!

The finished product!

He really needed a bath after this. So I gave him one...

...in the kitchen sink!

The reason for the trip was to celebrate cousin B's birthday, but we managed to celebrate Wyatt's half-birthday for a few minutes as well. I thought it would be fun to celebrate by letting Wyatt try his first real food. We opted for bananas. He wasn't quite sure what to think at first, but he ended up enjoying the whole container!

Still Sick

Last weekend we went to visit Kev's brother's family for cousin B's birthday (expect a post on that next). I was going to post about it and Wyatt's 6-month-old celebration this past Monday, but Wyatt decided he needed to run a fever instead. Now, I probably wouldn't have been too concerned because it was just 100.7, but he had been on antibiotic for his sinus infection for several days and hadn't had a fever up until this point. So needless to say, we went to the doctor and I was very worried because the nurse didn't even ask the doctor; she just said to come right in.
On the bright side, we finally got to see Dr. B! (This is a big deal if you know that Dr. B has been unable to work because of complications from knee surgery since before Wyatt was born.) She checked him out and heard a little rattling/wheezing in his chest and said that it's RSV. I used to think that those were the scariest set of letters known to momkind until recently when I learned that not all cases end up in the hospital. So Dr. B gave him a new antibiotic (which doesn't taste as good) and albuterol for the coughing/wheezing.
Fast forward through the week of a pitiful sounding baby that just makes me want to cry when he coughs. We are so blessed to have such a happy-go-lucky baby who just laughs and smiles even when he doesn't feel good. I don't know how I would have made it through this if he were crying and pitiful the whole time. Wyatt is definitely doing better. I think his fever is finally gone today (**knock on wood) and he is coughing less. He is still super-congested and has a stuffy nose, but I know some of it is just going to be sinus/allergy junkiness.

Now for some pictures from today. Wyatt has recently developed a love for the remote control. I know--he's not wearing any clothes, but he prefers to be this way and he had just messed up his outfit!

I will eat you now!

I see it and I will have it!

I will follow you until I faceplant into the couch!

Look at my foot!

**Stay tuned for pictures from cousin B's birthday, Wyatt's 6-month-oldness, and snow!! :)

Sick Again

It seems that SuperWy has inherited my sinuses. He's been congested for a while, but yesterday morning he woke up with a persistent cough. He coughed for several minutes until I got the booger-sucker and sucked out what he was trying to cough up. Then he woke up coughing several times last night. So I called the doctor this morning and took him in. It turns out that he has his first, probably not his last, sinus infection. I feel so bad for him, but he's just so happy. Every time he coughs or sneezes he just smiles and coos. He's just so darn precious! Anyways, we got some antibiotics so hopefully he'll be all better soon!
**His weight today was 21 lbs. 5 oz.
On a different note, we're getting closer to rolling over on his own. He just can't seem to put his arm in the right position. We're working on it though!

Wyatt's new feet...I mean feat?

Wyatt has finally discovered his feet! I wish I had a picture of it, because he is just about as happy as can be when he's holding his feet, but I don't. So I guess you, my readers, will just have to settle for these other fabulous pictures of my precious little man!

Here we go!

Is there anything sweeter than Daddy reading to baby?

I love my monkey rug!

Where's Wyatt?

There he is!

This one's for Noni: she gave him these overalls for Christmas and he just looks so darn cute in them (if I do say so myself)!

Daddy's Turn

I told Kevin it was his turn to feed Wyatt on Saturday since he isn't home during the week. He was a little apprehensive, but he did it anyways. Let me just say that the pictures do not do justice to the mess they made together!

Wyatt didn't seem to mind his daddy feeding him! He enjoyed it pretty well I think!

Rice Cereal...yummm!

We started Wyatt on rice cereal this week. We decided to just try it out because he has become increasingly interested in watching us eat and wanting to chew on our foods. I wanted Kevin to be there for the first time and he was off on Monday, so it worked out perfectly. The first night, he slept went 11 hours. However, it must have just been a fluke because he hasn't slept that well since then.

Here are some pictures!

Taking a bite. (This wasn't the first bite because Kev video taped the first few minutes and then took pictures.)

Thinking about it.

Watching me.

"Can you put it in my mouth faster please?!"

I think he liked the overall experience!

The New Year So Far...

So it's been a couple weeks since I've posted. Not much out of the ordinary has been going on though. Kevin went back to the toe doctor a couple weeks ago and they cleared him saying that his toe has healed. Unfortunately, after 2 weeks off, going back to standing and moving around all day has proved to be painful. So that's the toe status.

Wyatt continues to get bigger and more fun by the day. He is amazing, as usual. Unpredictable, but amazing! He's even started growing more hair on the top of his head!

And now, picture time!

More Christmas pictures from Nana's camera that I just had to share!

One of my besties came by to finally see him! She teaches in SC and is super-involved with band so she hasn't been able to come visit since he was born.

Happy New Year!

Daddy's Little All-Star!

He just looks like a little man in this outfit!

He's finally able to enjoy his exersaucer!

Christmas '09 part III

After the Christmas Eve service, we drove to Atlanta to stay with my sister. She and her husband had been wanting to do Christmas at their house since they were having it built last year. (They moved in sometime around March?) It was a ton of fun, but pretty hectic trying to do stuff around the schedules of two babies. So here we go.

I was bummed that present time was not at the top of everyone's list first thing in the morning because that's the time when Wyatt is the most fun. Therefore, Kevin and I went ahead and let him have his Santa present (the one he opens with his gifts from Santa, but it's from us). If you don't understand, it's okay. It's kind of a family joke.

He loves it! It says his name, sings songs, and plays music that we choose.

Wyatt got a jumperoo. We put him in it and he liked the toys. Then he started kicking his legs like he always does and started moving. It didn't take much longer for him to actually start jumping. He is an accomplished jumper!

All tuckered out, snuggling with Daddy!

Emerson has started smiling! She looks like a little elf! She's so precious! I have to admit that I didn't take enough pictures of her. The little bit of time I was able to spend with her (because I either had Wyatt or one of my parents had her), I spent it holding and cuddling her.

Our little family!

It took several shots to get this picture. That includes the one where I set the timer, got in the picture, and as soon as the timer went off, the picture took as I stepped on Kevin's broken toe. Needless to say, his face was not a happy one!

Aren't they precious!

Christmas '09 part II

**Disclaimer--I went overboard with pictures, but it's Wyatt's first Christmas so I felt entitled!

Part II starts at Nana and JJ's house for Christmas Eve brunch. Kev's brother's family comes along with cousin B's other grandmother GeGe. We've done this since our first Christmas together (I think) and it's been fun. Last year was when we announced that we were pregnant and this year that little blessing was here for some fun.
We were a little late because we had to make sure we had everything for the trip to Atlanta later that night. Wyatt fell asleep in the car and slept while we ate. Then he woke up and was very playful with Nana and cousin B.

Wyatt's first Christmas stocking!

Nana showing Wyatt his stocking stuffers!

All of ours and Wyatt's presents.

Wyatt was attempting a nap, but he just couldn't stand not seeing what was going on. I think he was trying to figure out if this is really where he wanted to be!

Wyatt likes this elephant that giggles!

Admiring his new Georgia jacket!

Alas, he finally gave up after seeing all of his presents.

For some reason, I thought his pants would be harder for him to pull off of his head!

This is cousin B showing us his gift from Truett Cathy.

Later that night, we went to Christmas Eve service with Kevin's parents. Wyatt was so good. I wish we had gotten a picture of the three of us. Oh well, maybe next year!

Christmas '09 part I

We had a lot going on over Christmas break and a few celebrations. So hold on tight as I post our fun times a little late!

First, we had our friends and their kids come over for dinner. We wanted to get together back in October, but one of us always had something going on. Better late than never! So I cooked and they came over and gave Wyatt his second Christmas present (his 1st was his exersaucer that we got him a couple months ago).

What do I do with this?

This is cool! (It's a ball that rolls on its own and makes music.)

We also gave Z (my fabulous flower girl) her birthday present. We did it a little early since we weren't invited to her all-girl slumber party!
