Only one more left! {Baby Wyatt’s 1st Year – Wordless Wed}

March 5, 2013 By Erika Zane

5 Mar

My baby’s baby-ness slowly slips away each day.  It’s both thrilling and sad.

I’m about a week late with this AND February’s a short month, which means we are three weeks from Wyatt’s first birthday.

Wha?!  How?

Yeah, I can’t believe how quickly the time’s slipped away.

Well, I can and I can’t.  I’m a different person than I was a year ago.  I don’t just mean the obvious pregnant vs postpartum.  I mean a changed woman.

I can tell you what I was doing about a year ago.  Wishing Wyatt would hurry up, but ready to wait as long as he needed.  Unlike the day before he was born when I was D-O-N-E.

But this isn’t about me.  So, enough with the words and on with the {nearly} wordless:

Wyatt 11 mo-1 Wyatt 11 mo-2 Wyatt 11 mo-3 Wyatt 11 mo-4 Wyatt 11 mo-5 Wyatt 11 mo-7 Wyatt 11 mo-9 Wyatt 11 mo-11

Wyatt is 11 months old, 20ish pounds, and wearing 18 month clothing.  Nothing under 12 months really fits anymore unless it’s pretty over-sized.

He’s still such a sweet, happy boy.  He loves to eat and pretty much the only thing that will upset him enough to cry, is taking food away from him.  But, hey, I’d cry if you took food away from me, too 😉

He’s not walking yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he started tomorrow.  Instead of crawling, he does this little crab walk and I’ve caught him trying to stand up in the middle of the floor without anything to pull up on more than once.  When he pulls himself up, he looks around like “what next?”.  I see his eyes intently follow Dylan as he runs around.  Who knows?  He might take just as long as Dylan and not walk for another 6 months.

He just had surgery on Monday for a inguinal hernia.  It was an outpatient procedure, but still surgery and they did use anesthesia to put him under.

He was such a brave little guy.  When the nurse came to get him, he smiled, grabbed onto her shirt, and went with her without a peep. He was a little groggy and cranky after his procedure, but was smiling during the car ride home.  If anything, he’s just been more laid back the past two days.

I took the pictures today (Tuesday), so you can see his joy for yourself.  Though, who wouldn’t be happy to be outside on such a beautiful day?

Wyatt, every day I get to spend with you and your brother is such a blessing.  I watch your relationship with each other grow and my heart swells.  It’s so much fun getting to know you!  You are a miracle and I love you and Dylan so much it almost hurts.

    I’m glad your little one is okay after surgery. That’s scary for a parent.

    Your boys are adorable. I really miss my two being small, but I love my two grown men. 🙂

About me

Hello and welcome.  It’s been a while.  For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media.  Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives.  I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it.  I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past.  But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here.  Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through.  Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often.  Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here.  And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest.  There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers.  Come on over if you want to process with me.
