Four Months and Feeling Better

Well, we are all starting to feel better. Wyatt finally started smiling again on Wednesday; however, both boys still have a cough. We managed to get out of the house last Sunday and made a trip to the park. We found a nearby park with ducks, so the new fun thing is to feed the ducks and random turtles.

I was playing with my new Photoshop!

In other news, Wyatt had his four month check-up this morning and his stats are:

Height: 25 inches- 36th percentile

Weight: 17 pounds, 2 ounces- 79th percentile

Head Circumference: 42 cm- 56th percentile

I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day! My boys surprised me with flowers, a yummy cake and a necklace made by Brock. I love being spoiled by them. :)

TGIF!

Thank goodness it's Friday. It has been a rough week in our home! Brock was not feeling well last weekend and we tried really hard to keep him away from Wyatt, but apparently not good enough. Wyatt started to feel bad Tuesday and then Wednesday he was diagnosed with RSV. I didn't think there was anything they can do for young babies, but he was put on breathing treatments every four hours. Poor little guy probably cried 24 hours straight and couldn't breathe, so that meant choking and spitting up. It was not fun for Mommy and Daddy! And of course, then I got sick and was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection. So far, Buck is just really tired...tired from taking care of all of us! Let's hope we have a complete recovery soon! Let's see a couple of things...

Wyatt rolled over last week, but not in front of us! Ms L was watching him and he rolled from tummy to back. That is because he absolutely HATES being on his tummy.

And a conversation between Mommy (oops! I mean..."Mom") and Brock:
Mom: Brock, what are you going to get Mama for Valentine's Day? (Note: we don't usually do gifts, so I am not even sure why I asked this question!)
Brock: Ummm, a bracelet!
Mom: A bracelet? That is so nice.
Brock: But..but..but...I don't know where to go.
Mom: Oh, don't worry Sweetie, Daddy knows! :)

The woman he marries is going to be a lucky one! He already knows to buy jewelry. I always knew he was a smart kid!

A little of this and that...

Well, I have been back at work for a couple of weeks now (hence the shortage of posts!). I sure do miss my guys during the day and can't wait to get home to their happy faces.

Last weekend the weather was beautiful, so we became members at the FW Zoo.

And a few photos from a wild and crazy Saturday night....

A couple recent Brock-isms...Just the other day he started calling me "Mom" instead of "Mama." Weird! Buck is trying to get him to call me "Mother!" And for some reason, Brock talks about his birthday party every day. I think this is because a few of his friends at school recently had birthdays. Well, when Brock is not happy with us he tells us we are not invited to his birthday party....this happens daily! Ha! So, who wants to throw the kid a 3rd birthday party?!

Three Months Old

Our littlest guy is already three months old! He is trying to rollover, is quite the wiggler and loves to "talk" to us. He really is a good baby and hardly ever cries. We can tell he is trying to take it all in. There is never a dull moment with his big brother around! Wyatt loves to watch Brock and smile at him, while Brock is most proud of his baby brother especially in front of his friends at school.

Joys of Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas! Our Christmas celebrations lasted for several days and Brock was in gift heaven. He must have been a very good boy this past year or at least he led everyone to believe he was one. We woke up to lots of rain on Christmas day and while we were playing with Brock's new toys I looked out the window and saw the snow coming down. It was beautiful. We have photos from the several gatherings we attended and I will let those tell the story. Christmas is all about the ones you love....friends and family. I can't imagine not having all of these people to spend the holidays with. We are most definitely blessed.
