On the road again...

Wyatt took his first trip this last week. We took him back home to introduce him to some aunts and uncles and Great Grandmas and Grandpas. He did pretty good on the car rides. I kept thinking that he needed to get out and stretch from his car seat, but I guess he likes to be curled up and bundled anyway. It was so nice to see our families, he will grow up so fast we just want them to get a lot of him. I will be bringing Wyatt back next month when my sister Amy has her little baby girl so my mom and dad can dote on their two new Grand kids. here are some of the photos from our week

Sunday was Wyatt's first time at church. He was asleep and quiet until the music started and then he screamed until I left right after sacrament. We will try sacrament this next Sunday and see how we do.....

I can't believe My baby is four weeks old!

By the way the Food storage website is http://www.myfoodstoragedeals.com/ If you go to her blog she talks about her experiences but this first page is if you want to sign up for her mail lists.

Food Storage

Have you noticed how almost every picture of him is in this bouncer? Well I swear I move him around he doesn't spend his entire life in it. We went shopping today...more on that later... and he was pretty wiped out! He kept puckering his lips in his sleep so I tried to catch it is this next photo.

We have finally gotten on the ball and are starting to stock up on food storage/ year supplies. Brandon found this website that helps tell you which things are great to stock up on, when their on sale, how to cook from your food storage, so we read one of her samples for the week and got the following:
20 boxes of cereal (Kellogg's brand not that cheap crap)
10 apple juices bottles
10 packages of diaper wipes
10 Clorox bleach
10 (cheap brand) instant oatmeal boxes
all for $60.00 Kellogg's cereal for $1.00 a box is pretty good in my book. I got tons of rice Krispies becase I love to make rice Krispies and if world war three or tragedy strikes I know it won't be so bad if I can have rice Krispie treats!

so our food storage room is coming along and now I have a little stash being built up. Anyone who has some food storage for dummies tips let me know! I have been trying to think of things that will be really easy to make and eat. I'm definitely not the food storage Queen yet.

well baby check

Wyatt went to see the pediatrician today. He is now-
20 inches long
7 lbs 11oz
yes he has gained 9oz. The Dr. said usually if babies are back up to their birth weight by the two week mark they are doing good. So we know he is getting enough to eat!

and then there was two

Wyatt is 2 weeks old and his cord fell off so he has a normal belly button now! It's amazing how much he has changed in just two weeks. We are starting to fall into a routine, which is great because Brandon is heading back to work today. Now it's just the two of us! I really can't say enough how much of a support and help Brandon is to me. He has been taking Wyatt every morning and letting me sleep in! He is always there to help me out and when he can't help...calm me down. I'm so glad we had these two weeks together with Wyatt!

Our 1st Night Alone

Well grandma stewart left yesterday. We had a great stay. All and all it was a great frist week. Now I guess the real challange starts, We are all Alone with the baby!!!!

Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Bowman spent a week with Wyatt. Something about this kid, He likes PopPop and Big PopPop a whole lot better than Dad. But I guess thats to be expected. Dad already grounded wyatt for not finishing his dinner.

Here are the 1st photos of Wyatt taking a bath. Not his favorite thing in the world, but once you get the top of his head wet he likes it.

Ok too be continued..... You all have 18 years of this to come.

Thanks

Wyatt's Jaundice is in the safe zone..... he did really well. The little beenie kinda made him mad, but he did great. Its hard spending 24 hours in a tiny suitcase with your eyes covered! We are doing well and are trying to establish a routine! I have a new found respect for mothers! It takes twice as long to go anywhere and you have to plan it around feedings and such and such. Brandon and I did take advantage of my mom being here and went and saw the dark knight on Friday! It was great. I think i will be much more nervous when we have to get a normal teenage babysitter sooner or later. It was sad to see all the grandparents leave, its like watching your paddles float down stream when you still have a long way to go.... but we will figure it out! I was so lucky to have such a great experience having Wyatt. He is so awesome. I don't think I have said as many prayers in my life then since he has been home. I just want him to be happy and safe.


Here he is on Friday, one week old! I love how he curls his little hands under his face like that. I think I would like to lock myself in the house everyday, turn off the phones, and just stare at him with Brandon. (can you tell why I might not have called you back if you have left me a message...sorry...) more photos to come because that's all I want to do all day.....thanks for all the wonderful messages and love....

P.S.the title of the last post was for our three year anniversary, i just forgot to say that. I love my husband and look forward to many more!

Three years later...

Hey guys were still here! i just wanted to fill you all in. Wyatt is such a good little boy! I love watching him and learning all about him. I can't believe he is here. He has Jaundice so we are helping him with that right now, but overall we are doing good! Nickell took some great photos with him yesterday and if you look at her photography blog she has some samples of them if everyone wants to see. (just find her blog off in the left hand column) Thanks for all the love!
