9 months

9 months…
I can’t believe that my little monkey (that’s my nickname for him because he is a) my little chunky monkey and b) he likes to scream like one.) is 9 months old!!! I just can’t believe it! I love it and hate it all at the same time. I love this age! He has the cutest personality. Here is what Wyatt is up to these days….
• Crawling… most of the time it’s still the army crawl but on occasion he gets up on his knees.
• Pulling up on EVERYTHING… we have moved the crib yet again to the lowest setting and now he has found joy in reaching for the video monitor that sits on top of his crib.
• Working on the word “No”! He doesn’t like it but then again who really does? If he does something and I say “NO”, he looks at me and then most of the time turns around and does it anyway. I say it again and he will stop or I drag him away. We are working on it.
• Waving- not always at the right time but he is getting better.
• Napping like a pro!!! Wyatt has always been a pretty good sleeper but I got into a bad habit of rocking and singing him to sleep for his naptime. I just loved holding him! Over the last month though he has become a great little sleeper. Most days I change his diaper, read him two stories and put him in the crib around 9:15 and he plays until about 9:45 then goes to sleep until 11:30. Then after his bottle at 2, I put him in the crib and he goes to sleep for about two hours. Then he goes to sleep around 8:30 until 7! I love it! Now of course we have days when napping is not as great but for the most part he’s a pro.
• No new words, he just continues to work on “bababa” and “mamama” oh, and he likes to scream for no reason!
• He loves giving hugs but his favorite person to hug is his Papa and Daddy. When he has his papa no one else matters.
• He is still a great little eater and I am starting to give him more than just baby food, but with no teeth, that’s a little hard.
I know that his birthday will be here before I know it and for now I am just going to enjoy this stage in his life. I love our snuggle time after naps (now that he is on the move the last thing he wants is to be held, so I cherish our 20 minutes right after I get him out of the crib) and watching him explore and learn new things everyday. I love seeing him splash in the water and crawl all over the house. I just love him!

Pictures to come soon....

All night long

As I sit here pumping in bed at 3:30 in the morning, I wonder how I got my little one to sleep all night long in his crib! I'm watching wiggle and move on the baby monitor and thank God that he can now sleep all night with no help! Me on the other hand, well I'm trying to keep that milk supply up and create a supply for when we go out of town. When will my days of All Night Long come? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

We all need friends

I remember almost a year ago when a good friend of mine invited me to a lunch group, Friday's at noon. At that time in my life I needed it! I needed to get out and meet new friends, other ladies with children about the same age, going through the same thing. This was a life saver for me. I am not a very outgoing person and it's hard to make friends when you don't have a full time job. Long story made short.... I made some GREAT friends in that group. As all good things to do though, things changed, people moved on and life became a little crazy for all of us. So the lunch group is starting up again and even though some people have left, we have some new faces to get to know! Wednesday a couple of us went out for a ladies night out and it was great! Two new people for me to get to know and I feel like I have made two new life long friends. It's so refreshing to just have a night out with the ladies and yes, we may spend the whole night talking about our babies and what t...

First trip to the ER

Image
Yesterday was a day of firsts! First time to try to potty training and first trip to the ER. Here is how we ended up there..... He woke up feeling good and we had a nice start to potty training! He didn't eat a lot of breakfast but some days he does and others he doesn't so I didn't think much about it. When lunch time rolled around he still didn't eat. He then became very cranky and uninterested in the potty thing so I let my dad take him up for his nap. He normally goes down pretty easy but today he didn't. He said that his tummy hurt and couldn't get comfortable. He finally fell asleep but didn't stay asleep long. He moved all around and cried out a couple times then finally woke up. He was NOT himself. He cried and wanted to be held. Then all of a sudden he would be fine. Then minutes later he would say his tummy hurt, then drop to his knees and cry and move around trying to get comfortable. It was so sad. My parents wanted him to spend the night si...
