Then and Now

Running with the Birds

You've heard of running with the bulls... well it's a little different in the Wyatt household. One of my oldest son's favorite pastimes is running up to birds to scare them into flying away. The two videos below show his love of running. We were at the Creekside Shopping Center here in New Braunfels on Monday night, and there was a field just full of Grackles... there must have been at least 200 of those guys. When Southern saw them, he asked me "run?" and I said "well you'll have to ask Daddy". So he asked Dustin, and thinking Southern just meant to run up ahead of the sidewalk we were on, said yes. Haha! So Southern took off into the field after those birds. And of course, they took off flying. He loved it!

It's kind of hard to see because he ran so far away, but he's that little blue dot out in the distance.

What a run! The field was nothing but loose dirt, and he ran a long way! You could tell he was getting tired, but he was proud of himself :)

3 Months Old

My dearest Remington, today you are three months old. Yet there are times, like when I gaze into your big beautiful eyes, that I feel as if I have known you my whole life. You are still very small yet such a big part of our family. Your daddy and I truly are blessed to call you and your brother our sons.

You currently wear size 6 month clothes, size 2 shoes, and size 3 diapers. You sleep in your crib in your room all night - some mornings you sleep in longer than your big brother! You like to look around. You still don't enjoy tummy time all that much and usually fuss a little, but you are, for the most part, an easy baby. You take things in stride. You have started to scoot a little when you are on your tummy - no crawling yet, but you can re-position yourself a bit. You just learned how to make music on your jungle mat yesterday by hitting the ball with your arm. You like to "talk" and blow bubbles and smile at me and Daddy. You still like your thumb but are starting to gnaw on he rest of your fingers and fist at times as well. And you still love napping in Daddy's arms while he rocks you in "the man chair" and watches the news at night.

13 Weeks Old

Here's a short video clip of the boys playing in Remington's room today.

12 Weeks Old

A quick update on the boys:

Remington is still growing strong. He's getting bigger and stronger daily. I put him in a 9-month outfit on Monday, and it fit!

Southern is starting to learn his ABCs. He's also been "reading" more books to me. It's so sweet to listen to him as he gives his version of the stories based on the pictures. He likes to say "bye book" on the last page and "the end" when he closes the book.

11 Weeks Old

We had Remington's 2-month doctor visit today. All went well. Remy weighed 15 lbs, 5 oz (96th percentile) and was 24.5 inches long (83rd percentile). He got his shots - DTap, Hib, Pnemococcal Conjugate, Hepatitis B, and Rotavirus. The first three were all in one shot so he had three pokes total. Poor guy. He took it well. He just cried a bit but quickly calmed down when we picked him up.

Big brother Southern was very supportive and was so excited that he got his heart and ears checked as well. He also wanted shots and was bummed when we told him he wouldn't get more until he was 4 years old - haha!

10 Weeks Old

Little Remington is now 10 weeks old.

Here's a preview of about 1/4 of the pictures from the photo shoot we had 3 weeks ago. Can't wait to get these pictures in and hung up on the wall!
