2 Years Old

Wyatt is officially TWO! I can't believe it! I feel like we have been in the mist of the terrible twos for some time now but some days are better than others! Here's what little man has been up to.....

*SLEEP: We went through about a week of him waking up at 4 and then not really ever going back to sleep. It was like having a newborn! I would go in, change him, rock him, lay him down. He would rest for about 30 minutes then we would repeat! Our doctor suggested a change in his routine and that has worked like magic...
7:15- read two books in rocking chair
bath and pjs
one book in rocking chair
prayers
down in crib wide awake
So far so good. He is still waking up anywhere form 6-7 but he will normally hang out in his crib for 20 minutes or so. This gives me enough time to get up and get half way decent before getting him.

Naps are still great! If he doesn't have school he goes down around 12 and sleeps until 2:30/ 3. If he does have school he goes to sleep around 1:45-3/3:45. Just depends on the day! When he wakes from his nap, he likes to turn his light on (yes, he can do this now!) and put all of his stuffed animals on top of the crib.

*FOOD: He is kind of picky these days. Some days he is in love with everything in sight and other days he doesn't want to eat. Some favorites....
-macaroni or as he says roni
-chicken nuggets
-hot dogs
-bread
-grits with cheese, eggs and pepper
-pancakes
-buddy fruits
-yogurt
-grapes
-uncrustable- peanut butter with honey
-waffles
-frozen pineapple
-pizza
-noodles
-rice
-gummies

What cracks me up is the fact that he knows exactly what he wants and there is no changing his mind. Some days after school he wants gummies other days he wants goldfish. Some days for a snack he wants yogurt and he will go to the fridge and pick it out. Other days he wants a buddy fruit! Cracks me up.

*What he's loving right now......
-Princess and the Frog- he is in love with this movie!!!!!
-Woody and Buzz
-Stealing McKinley's toys and saying "mine!"
-trucks
-swimming
-playing with all of his little action figures
-using a spoon and fork- he has become very good at this-FINALLY
-Smurfs
-learning new words all the time

*VOCAB: He will try to say just about anything! He is great at repeating what you say. Here are some words I love to hear him say...
-bataman (batman)
-mickey mouse
-bumblebee
-love you
-sit down
He is now saying short 2-3 word sentences and its so very cute!


He is growing, growing, growing and I can't believe it!

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...
