Weekend in Rockwall/Mabry's Bday

We headed to Rockwall this weekend to visit family and to go to Mabry's (my cousin, Andy's daughter)second birthday party. It was the first time I had been back home since having Wyatt and everyone was happy to meet him and baby Greyson as well. The funny thing was everyone thought that Wyatt was my brother's baby with them both having red hair. We had everyone confused.

Upon arriving at my parents' house, Wyatt screamed and cried for about 45 minutes. It was strange, but finally a warm bath calmed him and put him right to sleep. He was back to his normal, happy self afterwards. The next afternoon, we headed to Andy's for the pool party. Braylon had a blast swimming, jumping on the trampoline, and eating all sorts of sweets. Even Wyatt was happy in the cool water. Then the fun came to a scary hault when Braylon drove himself and Mabry into the trampoline almost decapitating them both.They were riding Mabry's new jeep. Luckily Brad was nearby to speedily come to the rescue, and the kids were all right. Poor Mabry was traumatized on her birthday, but Braylon was just upset he couldn't drive anymore. Figures.

Cousins Greyson & Wyatt are six weeks apart.

Braylon & Joey bonding. Joe saw the "dare-devil" in Braylon and got him to jump off the rock waterfall. Thanks Joe.

Baby Food

Wyatt started baby food a couple days ago. He has been holding his head pretty steady and sitting in his booster seat well, so we thought we'd go ahead and give it a try. He likes the food and momma likes the longer stretch between feedings. So far he has had bananas, sweet potatoes and carrots, and he liked it all. But lets face it...this kid is just a natural-born eater.

A Boy's Dream

Braylon got to witness a chainsaw, a backhoe and a dump truck at work yesterday.  There was a dead tree that was being cut down by the city, and Braylon thought it was pretty cool.

Rolling Over

Wyatt rolled over from tummy to back at five weeks old. Two nights ago, he mastered the roll-over from his back to tummy. While this is a milestone for babies, to me it is kind of bittersweet. Now if I lay him down he won't always be in the spot I left him. He also will roll over to his tummy in the middle of the night and wake himself up (and Mommy). I guess he forgets he can roll himself back to his back, because he gets very frustrated after finding himself on his tummy after a few minutes. Anyways, here he is rolling over...

Wyatt is Three Months Old!

Yesterday Wyatt turned three months old!  He's such a happy baby and hardly ever cries. He loves bath time, walks in the mornings with brother, his pacifier, peekaboo, and his jumperoo. He has discovered his hands so he sucks on his fist, and he has had his first laugh out loud. He has been trying real hard to roll to his tummy when we lay him on his back, so I'm sure he'll be rolling over both ways soon! He tries to pull himself up to sitting position as well. He seems to prefer to sleep on his side now also. Wyatt will usually sleep from about 9:30p.m. to 6:00a.m. with two or three naps a day.  The big boy is wearing size two diapers and 6-9 month onesies. We love his chubby thighs, his dimples, and pretty blue eyes. We are so blessed, and even big brother Braylon is enjoying his baby. When he hears Wyatt cry he'll say "aw are you hungry?" or "it's ok, it's ok." He'll also give Wyatt kisses and his pacifier if he needs it. What a good big brother.  :)
