1st Halloween

Wyatt got all dressed up for his very first halloween! I might be alittle partial, but I'm pretty sure he the cutest tiger you'll ever see :)

One tired little tiger....

Mommy and Daddy even dressed up for a party on Friday night

Five Months

Our little man is now 5 months old! Here are a couple of his 5 month happenings.....

He loves to grab his feet (and anything else he can get his cute little hands on) now.

Pushing up and starting to scoot, except he goes backwards!

Mmmm..... Babyfood :)

He has had green beans and carrots so far and done great with both.

Our lil pumpkin :)

Yummy!

Wyatt had his 4 mth wellness checkup this week. He did wonderful and the doctor said everything looks good. He weighs 18lbs and is 27 in long- he's a growing boy... And in the biggest news, we're starting baby food! The Dr. said she recommends for formula fed babies to begin at 4 months with vegetables, so last night we tried out some green beans and well, let's just say it was HILARIOUS! He made the funniest faces and it was obvious he didn't care for them, but he did manage to get some down. We'll try again tonight and see how it goes :)

Not so sure about this stuff!!!

Wonderful Weekends

The past two weekends have been busy, but so fun! Two weekends ago Wyatt, Mom and I made the trip to Branson to visit my brother, sister-in-law and of course their adorable little girl. Amy's family was there also, so it made for a great visit. We stayed at a hotel with a pool, so Wyatt got to go for his first swim. The water was a little cold, but I think he's going to be quite the lil swimmer. This past weekend we spent Saturday in Aaron's hometown, because one of cousins got married. Wyatt did wonderful at the wedding and stayed awake through the entire reception. Sunday was a fun relaxing day at home. The weather was gorgeous so we spent most of the evening outside. We grilled and ate on the back porch, so we just pulled the jump-a-roo out and had a blast! Here are a few pics from our weekend adventures- enjoy!

Cousins meeting for the 1st time

Fabulous Four

Lil Man-
Yesterday you hit the 4 month mark- crazy how fast time is going by! You are at such a fun stage now. You are "talking" up a storm and laughing, it is too cute! You still have your trademark big ole grin and everyone who sees it immediately falls in love. You love your jump-a-roo and playing "super baby" with your Daddy. I love to see you two playing together. You can really grab onto things now; pretty much anything you can get your little hands on, especially mommy's hair. This has been a month of big firsts. You can now roll over and are wiggling all over the place. You also slept through the night for the first time- thank goodness :) You still have some nights where you wake up once to eat, but we do get some full 8 hour nights here and there. And the biggest news, your very fist cousin was born!
I am grateful every day for the gift of YOU! I love being your mommy more than I ever could have imagined. Seeing your precious face every day is a blessing beyond measures. I love you doodlebug!

We have a niece!

We were so excited to find out that last Friday morning, my brother and sister-in-law welcomed a new addition to their family- a beautiful little girl! Her name is Karis (which means grace in Greek) and she is absolutely adorable. Aaron and I are officially now an Aunt and Uncle! My parents, Aaron, Wyatt and I were all able to make the trip to see her this weekend. She was still in the hospital, but it was so great to get to meet her. She seems sooo tiny! It's hard for me to even remember that Wyatt was ever that small, 10 oz. smaller actually!

This is their first child (which they adopted and then are expecting another baby in early Feb.) so it was really neat to get to watch them with her. She already has them wrapped around her tiny little fingers--- just as it should be :) They are going to be amazing parents and are so deserving of this blessing. I can't wait for them to take her home and begin their journey as a family. I also can't wait until Wyatt, Karis and their next baby are older and can play together. It will be so much fun to have kids so close in age. Here are a few pics of our new little family member.....
