Bringing back the big boy carseat

That's right, we brought the big boy carseat back out! The weather has finally gotten decent enough that he's not freezing when I get him out of the car and carry him into any place. So on Monday we put the carseat back into my car and he's been loving it ever since. He's fallen asleep on the way home from daycare and his head isn't slouching anymore while he sleeps. Yeah!!

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood!

Today was B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L day! The sun was shining and a small breeze was blowing in the air. Wyatt and I spent the morning in Topeka with Amber and Ally walking around the mall and doing some light shopping. In the early afternoon Wyatt and I went to Toys-R-Us to do some birthday shopping for him. We didn't get much but got a ton of ideas for his birthday in May. When we came home it was so nice outside, that I wanted to stay outside as long as possible. So we brought out his car and he drove it around the driveway while Powder ran around the front yard. After we had been driving around the driveway we decided to stay outside and I brought out a blanket and some toys and we played in the front yard for nearly an hour after that! Finally at 5:30 we came in and had supper. He had such a great time playing outside and watching the cars and people that went by on the street. All in all it was a great day seeing friends, shopping, and playing outside with my man! :)

Hide-n-Seek

Today Wyatt was playing in his car in the dining room while I was putting away dishes in the kitchen and then suddenly it got quiet! Now every Mom knows that when your child gets quiet it can only mean one thing; they are doing something they don't want you to find out about! As I notice the quietness I say Wyatt's name and look into the dining room. I don't see him or his car but see his diaper bag moving on the kitchen table. Weird, until I look down and see that there is a little hand pulling on the strap of the bag from under the table. Wyatt had manuevered his car under the table and was playing with the diaper bag strap trying to pull it down! :) His car fit so well under the table it reminded me of a garage. So that is where we are keeping his car when it's not in use!

Look Ma, No Pants!

At daycare Cheryl tells me everyday how Wyatt kept crawling out of his pants and they won't stay on him while he's crawling. I just assumed it's due to their carpet since it doens't happen at home and we have hardwood floors instead. Well today we were playing around today and saw Wyatt literally crawl out of his pants. First, they started sagging and hanging low on his butt and then next thing I know they are down around his ankles! I was able to get a couple of pictures before he crawled out of them but only a couple and I had to snap them quick!

Bundled Up and to the Post Office we go!

Wyatt and I are having a great Spring Break but it could be a fabulous Spring Break if this weather would cooperate. It has been pretty chilly the last couple of days. Wyatt and I have been working on putting some packages together for our friends Carol and Stacie. Carol, a North Carolina friend, has twin baby boys and loves getting clothes because that means she has less laundry to do, especially since she has 2 older boys to also care for and a house full of dogs and a husband. Needless to say, life is busy at Carol's house all the time! Whew, I'm tired just talking about it. Stacie, my dear friend from middle school, high school and college, is expecting her first baby in August and I'm sending her clothes as well to get ready for her bundle of joy. So Wyatt and I got all of the packages ready to go and headed out for the long walk to the post office (a whooping 2 block walk, we can see it from our back door).

Here's a picture of Wyatt once we got home from the post office just to give you and idea of how cold it was during Spring Break!

(The camo hat was a gift from my friend Gayla who made it for him! Thanks Gayla!!)

Bedtime Fun

I was going through Wyatt's closet and found a hat that we received from Mike's Uncle Terry and cousin Austin for Wyatt and just popped it on his head as we were getting ready for bed last night. Guess what, he loved it!! He's always been a hat person, must get that from his momma!

He's Back

Wyatt is feeling so much better! My happy little boy is finally back and acting like his old self. We are eating at least 3 bottles again and starting to eat food again. :) He's even been content enough to play on the floor without me holding him. I'm so happy that he's feeling better now. Here'a pic of him with his new haircut. The hair sticking up isn't part of the haircut just a side effect of bed head. As you can tell it's much shorter than it was before!

Haircut #3

Tonight Wyatt got haircut #3! That's right #3. He is an old pro at getting his haircut now and all the ladies in the salon love seeing him and watching him get his haircut and he loves seeing them. Huge flirt. Wyatt got at least an inch cut off of his hair and Stacy got to use her buzz clippers on him. A first for him and he loved the feeling. He kinda squatted down and smiled while she the buzzing.

Side Note: Wyatt is fighting a little stomach bug and has been having diarrhea so that would be the reason behind the whole not eating thing and being clingy. We are going to keep pushing fluids and cut out food for right now. Hopefully this weekend he'll be feeling better so we can go and visit Ally, Amber, and Mike.

Clingy Baby

We have a Defcon 5 level clinger! Wyatt has been dealing with the winter crud; runny nose and cough. He has finally started feeling better the last couple of days but now he is crazy clingy. All he wants to do is be held and sleep. He doesn't want to play or eat his new solids. He only wants to be held. I've been so disappointed because we just bought Stage 3 food and he's only gotten to eat a few bites. On a positive note, the few bites he had he really enjoyed! :) So we are hoping that this new found clinginess will go down over the next few days and our happy playful baby will come back out.
On another note we have quite the mover on our hands. Wyatt has mastered the art of army crawling and is all over the house. His new favorite "toys" to try to play with are Mike's bow and a set of live traps! Yes, very baby appropriate! As you can read we still have quite a bit of baby proofing to get accomplished before we have a walker as well. He has also made the realization that there are items above him such as the couch and is touching it and looking up with curiousity like how do I get up there! :)

She's Here!!

Allyson Lea Solida! After months of keeping us in the dark of what gender their baby was going to be we found out last night that it was a beautiful baby girl! She blessed this world at 8:40pm, March 1, 2010. She weighs 8lbs. 8oz. and is 21 1/4 inches long. She was born via emergency c-section in Topeka. So happy for my friends and for Wyatt to have a new play buddy! There will be lots of playdates this summer I'm sure.
