Fun at the Park

Wy had so much fun at the park today. He just could not quit laughing! I think my sweet boy is going to be a fan of the outdoors and constantly want to go to the park

Pretty weather brings...

... porch swings!

A little skitish at first, Wy warmed up very quickly to his swing. He thought it was so funny! I am glad he is finally getting to use his 1st birthday present. I am sure we will have many more photos from the swing this spring/summer!

Mommy-Daddy Getaway

We did it! We all survived

Zach and I just got back from a 5 day cruise to Mexico. We set sail with our friends, The Cravens, last Saturday. It took several months of planning and anticipation but it all turned out wonderfully! With a detailed "Grandparents Guide to Keeping Wyatt", how could you go wrong?

*If you would like instructions on how to apply sunscreen from my husband, let me know*

Zach and I ate a ton of wonderful food, spent hours "tanning", had a couples massage and enjoyed staying up until the wee hours of 9pm! We had a great time but were so ready to see our little man.

Best Buddies

Only best friends can ride the wagon in PJs and look cute at the same time!

These two boys are best buds already and will have so much fun as the grow up together! We always enjoy having Jack over to play. He is such a sweet little guy and is much more cool and calm than my high strung child! :) You can read about Jack, too!

Therapy

Wow! If you do not know anyone that has a child in therapy, let me enlighten you....

W has Physical therapy every Monday morning. Normally, I spring out of bed at 7:00 if W is sleeping and jump in the shower. I rush and rush. I wake W up, I force a bottle down and try to feed him a big breakfast. Then we rush around more to get ready to go see Mrs. Sally. Finally, we make it there and then it is play time! W loves Mrs. Sally and just giggles with her. He thinks her toys are sooo fun. She is great with him and constantly is correcting his movements. It is truly amazing how far he has come with his hand and crawling. He even tries to use his right had at times to eat, hold his bottle and grab at toys. This is huge since he began. His right hand was constantly "fisted" up. He now crawls with an partially open hand. I hope that he continues to find his therapy fun! After an hour of "playtime" we head home to eat lunch and then nap. He normally is exhausted and can barely make it thru lunch.

On Monday afternoons or Friday we have speech therapy. Ms. Jessica comes to our house which is so nice! The house still has to be clean and W still has to be rested and fed, but it saves us a drive. The first two months that we did ST, we worked on feeding issues. W did not like to suck and we were given some solutions to help. Now we are working on actually speech. Ms. J puts W in his bumbo and attempts to get him to mock her. Some days are better than others. He is working really hard and is making progress.

People can't imagine what you do with a 1 year old in therapy so here are some pictures to help you visualize it! All I can say is thank goodness for therapist that chose to work with kids. PATIENCE is all I can say.

Happy Valentines Day

Wyatt has been with his valentine all day...Mommy! Cupid came to visit (of course) and brought wyatt a duffle bag as well as a HUGE frog balloon! He is loving the balloon. He just ripped the frog leg off as I type.

Splish Splash

Wy loves taking his bath! Every night we have the same eat, play, bathe routine. Wyatt gets so excited about his bath and even impatient.



COME ON Momma I want to get in the TUB!

He flips and flops, crawls and leaps for his bath toys.

and then we watch every little drop drain out.

That is a small glimpse into wy's nightly bath.
