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 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.
Adorable photos! And what a beautiful message to your sons!
love. love .love
Happy Birthday Wyatt! You look like your mommy!
I remember vividly the day you were born…
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. 🙂
Love the photos! Thank you so much for the sweet photo on my blog! So sweet.
Have a great day!
