We wish you a Merry Christmas....

What a wonderful first Christmas for Wyatt!

Wyatt was such a good boy all year and Santa came to visit! I think mommy was way more excited than Daddy because she could hardly sleep!

I woke up around 6:45 on Christmas morning. It was like I was a kid again and I ran to the window to see how the weather turned out....it was magical...a WHITE CHRISTMAS! I have never had a white Christmas and Wyatt gets one on his first!

We had so much fun looking through what Santa brought. Wyatt was so thrilled over his....TOOTHBRUSH. He is crazy about that thing and the way it tickles his gums. He also enjoys the singing it does too. We have plenty of toys to keep us entertained for a while.

We got to celebrate Christmas with Lala on Wednesday afternoon with Dance Star Mickey and some good food!

Christmas Morning we had breakfast with Zachs family. Fun was had by all with the traditional Christmas money game. I am 2 for 3! (I had to work last year)


We hope that you had a Blessed Christmas

Catching Up...

We have been very busy around the King household.

The most important news: Wyatt is doing GREAT! We had a check-up last week and he is weighing in at 18.8! That is huge for him. Dr. G was very happy to report that he is in the 25% and not in the less than 5%!! Yeah for Wyatt!! He continues to be very active and into everything! He is pulling up and trying to stand on his own in the middle of the room. He hasn't really got that good...yet! He has 8 teeth and is working on his 9th which is a molar. Maybe he will be ready to chew some steak! He is saying "E" all of the time. It is so cute!

We have been decorating for Christmas this last week and boy has it been an adventure!! Wyatt is really loving the lights and ornaments and really wanting to chew on them! Zach and I bought our first real tree last night. We worked so hard to get it straight in the stand. I then took about 1 hour to put lights on it. Probably another hour to decorate it. By this time I was exhausted. I took a relaxing bath and cuddled up with my fleece blanket for a good nights rest! YEAH RIGHT...the tree came crashing down...lights all over the place and ornaments scattered! Zach isn't digging this whole real tree thing. If you get to see my tree, pay no attention to the broken branches that have created major gaps. Its all about the memories.

Well we will try to do better with blogging...

Happy Halloween!

Its Fall in Oxford...

Run Erica Run...

Get Ready. Get Set. GO!

That is how I have felt for the last two days...its been one big rat race.

Wednesday, Wyatt and I set out for Memphis to have pictures made as well as meet with a clinical nutritionist, round two.

Photographs: So cute, can't wait for you to see them. Of course Allison Rodgers continues to wow me with her amazing talent. We should get proofs on Oct. 14.

LeBonheur: Well, lets hope this is our first and last visit to this hospital. After a few pulled strings by a co-worker at Baptist, we were able to be worked in early. It was a much better experience. She was very helpful and gave me several tips on increasing Wy's calories. We will give it a whirl.

We spent the night with Lala wed night and had a lot of fun trying to trap the darn armadillos. I am saving this story for its own post. It is quiet comical to me and very distressing for lala, they are tearing her yard up!

Thursday, we had an appointment with Dr. G. This is the monthly weight check for Wy. She was a little disappointed that the little man didn't increase in weight over the last week. Last Wednesday, we had a sick appointment and he had gained from 15.12 to 16.9. She was thrilled when she saw this. This week he only weighed 16.7. We had a major set back on Friday because he was so congested that he would not even suck his passi much less his bottle. Wy does have his first ear infection on the right side and is taking antibiotics for the first time. By the way, cheers to fastenal's insurance company, I only had to pay $0.68 for his antibiotic! Amazing!
We have had this constant rattle in his throat area from day 1. It has really concerned me periodically but the drs I talk to dont seem to be concerned. While in Dr. G's office today, she finally heard the rattle. She sent us for a KUB(stomach xray), a chest x ray and a barium swallow study. The good news is that everything checked out just fine. His lungs are clear and his swallow/stomach is all working properly. The bad news is, we still have no clue to why this child hates to eat!

After the visit with Dr. P in the Diagnostic center, we flew back to Oxford so I could learn to sew...I made it 45 min late.

Hold on to your seat, you wont believe what I made....

:)

Everyone loves a little "happy" every now and again.

My super sweet hubby brought me this happy to work.

He won major points with my co-workers and really made my day! He is the best!

Sick Baby Boy

Tuesday night, La La came by for a quick visit. Wy was so tickled to see her. He laughed and had the best time. She stayed long enough to feed him and give him his nightly bath. Then I put him down. It wasn't an hour later and he was wide awake with a snotty nose! He started running fever in the middle of the night and that gave him a quick ticket to my bed! We were up every hour trying to get comfortable and get his fever down. The next morning, we headed to Memphis to see Dr. G. She checked him out and told me he had a head cold and there was really nothing we could do. Poor guy!! We headed home to tend to the cold. It has not been fun!

Of course, the cold has made its way around the King household. We have lots of Vicks, steamy showers, and tissue going around here. Hopefully my little guy will start feeling better soon...like TODAY! We are a little sick of the head congestion, boogies and fussiness.

I must say we are very blessed that he has made it 8.5 months without being sick. I don't know how parents manage that have sick kids all of the time! It makes me a very nervous mommy.
