Gavin

I had to add a few cute pictures of Gavin that we took the other night. It is so rare that he will actually stop, smile and take a picture.

Daddy and Gavin

Silly Spaghetti face



We are also on night two with no pacifier!! Each night when he asks for his pacifier we've been reminding him that they are really for babies and that he's a big boy. Our plan was to go cold turkey with him in about a month if he didn't give it up on his own but he decided Tuesday morning after he woke up that he wanted to throw them away. We quickly got them out of the trash just in case but thought this was our chance. That night he desperately wanted them back and even tried to dig through the trash but after some convincing and bribes for a special treat in the morning he went to bed without them and successfully slept last night without one too. Hopefully we can keep this up and it will be gone for good!

Our Nephew is here!

Jen and Jason welcomed Rush Charles this morning. He was 7 pounds 7 ounces. We can't wait to meet him this weekend!!

One month old!

It's hard to believe that Wyatt is already one month old! He is a growing boy, growing out of most of his newborn outfits and moving up to size one diapers. He's just recently started smiling and cooing which i love and has been sleeping a little better at night. The big thing right now that we have been dealing with is gas. Hopefully we can get over this soon because it's so hard to see him cry in pain and wake up in pain because of it. Gavin has been very active lately and has been able to enjoy some time outside with some of our warmer weather and has had fun playing basketball with daddy in the basement when we are couped up inside. Below are some new pictures of our guys. This weekend we are making our first road trip to Iowa so i'm hoping everything goes well and Wyatt does ok with the long car ride.

2 weeks

We had Wyatt's 2 week check up today and he's doing great and a growing boy. He weighed 8 lbs and 9 ozs (surpassed his birth weight yay!) and was 22 inches long. Here's a few new pics.

1 week

Wow, it's hard to believe that Wyatt is already a week old!! He is such a good baby, only really cries if he's hungry or wet and we are enjoying loving on him so much. Ryan wasn't planning on taking much time off from work this time around but we happened to get a blizzard here in KC so it worked out that him and Gavin were able to stay home with us the first part of this week and we were able to do some bonding as a family of 4. Gavin is being such a good big brother. He loves giving Wyatt kisses or reading him books or trying to share his toys. The only item that caused a little tension at first is that he wasn't too happy to have Wyatt sitting in our yellow baby seat. He kept saying mine and trying to sit in it but i think we've gotten over that lol. Gavin also transitioned to the his new two year old classroom this week and so far it has gone really well. I wasn't sure how he would take the transition since he loves his teachers in his old room but they do a really good job of easing the transition in and a couple of his old buddies are in his new room so he's really enjoying playing with the big boys!

Here's a pic of Wyatt and Gavin around a week old:
