September 2011

What a month! Wyatt has been taking 3 steps on his own this past week....Eric and I didnt even realize Wyatt was walking until he walked right past the both of us! Then we looked at eachother and started clapping and scared Wyatt....he didnt realize what he had just accomplished! Wyatt still has 8 teeth ( 4 on top and 4 on bottom). Wyatt was baptised the last weekend of August-such a happy day that we shared with our family and friends. Our big boy weighs 23 lbs and 12 oz and is a little over 30 inches tall. He has the cutest little smile, the prettiest blue eyes, and the softest cheeks that you just cant help to smooch and squeeze! He has been eating just about anything that Dad and Mom eats. He uses his little fingers to try and pick the nibblets up, and doing a pretty good job of it! He loves when his cousins Alise and Nicholas come into town to play...and also when his Buddy Brandt stops by to play. Brandt gets mad though when Wyatt steals his BaBa away from him..But Wyatt is nice and shares his toys for Brandt to chew on! We have been taking Wyatt to festivals and pumpkin patches for some good pictures! Wyatt did ride his first Elephant this month with Mommy and his Godmother Kylie (pictures to come soon)! Grandma and Grandpa Grossarth took Wyatt to his first Oktoberfest and dressed Wyatt up in his German attire..too cute! Wyatt stayed all night tonight with Grandma and Grandpa Wattercutter (My Mom was remarried last weekend) and he climbed up 15 stairs without thinking twice- and of course with close supervision! Eric and I are having so much fun and look forward to planning Wyatt's 1st birthday party soon!

August 6th 2011 - 8 1/2 Months

 Wyatt is growing so fast! Eric and I are enjoying being parents so much. Wyatt makes us laugh and smile more than you can imagine. He is so precious and beautiful....I mean handsome! He says "baba" and "boo" (book) . Mommy and Daddy love to read to him because he pays so close attention and helps turn the page too! He has started to cut 4 teeth on the top center and he still has his bottom center two teeth since he has been 4 months old. He made bite marks on Grandmas arms when she watched him over the weekend while Mommy and Daddy had a vacation at the lake. She didn't spank him though, just kissed him! Wyatt has just started to wave "bye bye" a few days ago. He is such a quick learner. He can give high fives and shake your hand "howdy". Eric started coughing the other day, and what do you know, Wyatt was a little copy cat and started  coughing and smiling too... love him! Above is a picture of Wyatt eating his first cookie! Vanilla Wafer, yummy! He is starting to drink real milk and take bites of everything Mommy or Daddy is eating too! He doesn't want to miss a thing. He follows you to every room  crawling around. He stands next to the couch and walks up and down the couch. He loves peek a boo! We are so happy to have him around, he has completed our life and our family. I love holding him close to my heart every night at bedtime. When he wakes up he gives you hugs on your chest and smiles. What a wonderful blessing from God. We are so eager to have him Baptized August 28th! Josh Gerdom (Christine's cousin) and Kylie Grossarth ( Our niece) will be the Godparents for Wyatt. More pictures to come of our bundle of joy~

Wyatt's adoption is final as of May 20th 2011~ We cannot tell you how happy we are to have the process final! Wyatt even let out a little yell when the majestrate said "Congrats"! Wyatt weighs 19lbs and is 28 3/4" tall- BIG BOY! Wyatt absolutely loves going on vacation to Tennesse and also loves swimming in our pool! He kicks SO hard in the water and might just kick his own legs off in the pool  someday! Wyatt is creeping across the room , and can get up on all fours, but has not officially "crawled yet"-so close! Wyatt loves doggies, especially Abbie (Grandma and Grandpa Grossarth's dog) he just giggles at her non stop! We are having so much fun with our little man and are so excited for this summer to play all day!

April 2011

My first Mothers Day is this weekend! How grateful i am to have my son, he is Gods gift to Eric and I. Wyatt is growing so big! He weighs 18.3 lbs now, and has 2 teeth on the bottom front! He is babbling away, I thought I heard "Ma", but maybe it was just wishful thinking! We went to Tennessee last weekend, and he loved the water and mountains- and his new life jacket! He didn't even cry when we put it on him, he just chewed on it! Wyatt loves his bananas in the morning! We are visiting our family in Indiana this weekend for a bunch f irthday parties, and Wyatt's cousin Nicholas's 1st birthday! I cant wait to see Wyatt tear through a birthday cake this fall! Enjoying everyday of Motherhood and my little angel~

Wyatt's First Norris Lake Trip 3-26-2011

March 2011

We are happy to report that Wyatt is doing great! He now weighs 16.3 lbs and will be turning 4 months old this week. We will visit the doctor for his 4 month checkup and S-H-O-T-S this week. Wyatt is rolling over non-stop from his back to stomach starting on March 7th when Grandma Wright was babysitting him. He has been a lot more vocal lately too! He ate his first bites of sweet potatoes last week, and like his apples and bananas! More pics to come of his messy face! Wyatt had his first overnight stay without Mommy and Daddy last Saturday at Grandpa and Grandma Grossarth's. It felt good to get out to dinner and go dancing for the first time in awhile! Dont know what we would do without Grandma's and Grandpa's!

Wyatt woke up today at 330 am for the first time in awhile, coughing and sneezing. Mommy and Daddy have passed their cold symptoms to our little buddy. He laughs when he sneezes, and smiles when he coughs. Wyatt was giggling this morning when we were playing with a balloon, too cute. Daddy weighed him today and he is 16 lbs! That explains why Mommys back is a little sore after carrying him all day! Big Boy! Today we went out to lunch Downtown with Grandpa Wright and Uncle OJ, then visited Great Grandma Scott. Uncle OJ brought Wyatt a Blow Pop sucker. It was funny to see Wyatt holding a sucker in his hand. I imagined his hands all sticky, and face all red and slobbery when he is actually old enough to enjoy a lollipop for the first time. Great Grandma just loves to see Wyatt, she smiles so big and does baby talk to him and makes him grin. I know these pictures with Great Grandma and Wyatt are priceless, and I am just so glad that she is able to see and hold and love our baby boy. I really wish my Grandma Gerdom was still around to hold Wyatt, I know she would love him and kiss him on his cheek and say that he is a blessing from God. I know that my Angel Grandma had a part in helping God choose our special son. What a perfect fit.

My sweet boy (with the help of Dad) suprised Mommy with some candy and balloons for Valentines Day! Such sweet words that Daddy had to help Wyatt write in the card. I Love both of my boys. It was nice to finally have sunshine this week, and Wyatt went on his first stroller ride outside! The week ended with a visit to Great Grandmas house with Grandad Wright. Grandad makes Wyatt smile BIG!!!
