Something new

It seems everyday now, Wyatt is learning something new. And it's becoming very clear to me- he is no longer my little baby. He's now my little boy. Which is a lot of fun too! He is so adventurous and always on the move. I think he's going to be a handful with him. But, I love it so much! Becoming a mother is the best thing I have every done. It is so important to me. He comes first, before everything else. But, I have this internal struggle then, of why do I want another child? But, I think when you are going through something so magical, and wonderful- you can't help but want to spread the love. I want a big, happy family! ♥

First steps just around the corner

Wyatt is starting to stand on his own now. I don't think it will be long before he is walking. I am pretty nervous about this. It means more independence for him, which I think is a good thing, but it means a lot more childproofing for us. And it feels like my little baby is growing up so fast. It feels like once he starts walking he isn't my baby anymore. He will now be a big boy. Gosh, the last nine and a half months has gone by too fast!

Another year older

Well, today I am 25. It doesn't really seem old, considering my dear husband is 32, and most of my friends are in their late 20's. I am the "baby" of the bunch. But, I still feel like so much of my life has already passed by, so quickly. I mean, when Wyatt's 20, I'll be about 45! I just think of how much my life has changed in the last 10 years- which I know is a big change from a 15 year old, to where I am now. But, still I can only wonder what wonderful things I have coming in the next 10 years.

W's 1st Christmas

Christmas was wonderful! Wyatt was so great. He loved opening his gifts. He was so spoiled this year. He got new wagon, a lion push toy, a play table, a music player, a guitar, a mini couch/bed, and a lot of other smaller toys. But, he only has his 1st Christmas once, right?!?

Wyatt's 1st Thanksgiving

Yesterday was Wyatt's first Thanksgiving. We went to my in-laws house, and had a wonderful day. Wyatt tried some turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and whipped cream. He's favorites were the turkey and pie. I guess all the excitement kept him up, because he hardly napped at all and we had a hard time getting him to go to bed. He was overly tired and cranky. But, overall it was a great day. I am just so excited about Christmas now. My husband is at home today putting up the tree. And we are having another Thanksgiving dinner tonight with my Dad. I think Wyatt is going to have a great first Christmas. It really feels like this will be our 1st Christmas as "Family" because before Wyatt was here seemed different. I am unfortunately stuck at work, just counting down the minutes until I can get out of here. :)

Santa Claus

I took Wyatt today to the mall to have his first picture taken with Santa. They got one good picture before he started crying. When we first arrived I was worried, but thought he would do good because he smiled at Santa. But, once I set him down on his lap he got concerned. They got his picture right before he started crying.

Baby fever

Wyatt is 7 months old today! Where has the time gone?!? Is it crazy of me to already be thinking of #2? Some days it seems like everyone is getting pregnant! And I really miss it. Wyatt has been so amazing, would it be tempting fate to think we could have another child as wonderful as he? And a healthy pregnancy, and speedy recovery?!? I know for sure I want to have at least 1 other child. I have a sister, and I loved that experience growing up. I really don't want Wyatt to be an only child. But, when is the right time? My husband, Adam, and I have both agreed to wait until Wyatt is 1 year old, to start really thinking of when to try for #2. But, I still can't help thinking of it all the time. However, since I had a c-section, I'm in no hurry to get pregnant again. And for many reasons, including finances, I think August would be a great time to conceive again. That would make Wyatt and baby #2 about 25 months apart. Do you think that is too close?!? I originally always said I wanted to wait 3 years before getting pregnant again, but that was before Wyatt was born. Now, I can't wait to experience it all again, and give Wyatt a little brother or sister... I guess when it's time we will just know.
