One month old on January 14th!

We can hardly believe Wyatt is a month old already!  Time is flying by and he is growing fast.  He has already outgrown most of his newborn outfits!  On the 13th, he smiled a sweet gummy smile for his momma.  Can't wait to see more smiles!  Grandma Andie came on the 15th to help out for awhile and we enjoyed (and appreciated) her visit.  Wyatt enjoys his tummy mat time and is getting strong.

 

Uncle Bryce and Aunt Melissa come for a visit!

Uncle B and Aunt Mel came to meet Wyatt the first weekend in January.  We had a nice relaxing weekend, mostly relaxing at the house.  Despite the cold weather and wind on Saturday, we took a ride into DC for a "car" tour of some of the major DC sites.  We did hop out to grab a bite to eat at the historic Old Ebbitt Grill restaurant.  Since the White House is literally around the block, we got a pic in front of it.

 

Wyatt's 3 weeks old on Jan. 7th

Wow - the first three weeks seem to have just flown by!  Wyatt continues to sleep during the night in 4 to 6 hour stretches - which we really appreciate!  Aaron went back to work this past week part time and Alexis did well by herself for the half day with Wyatt.  But she sure appreciated Aaron coming home to make lunch and help us out. 

Wyatt still likes his hands out so he can move them freely.  He frequently has them in fists (with his thumbs tucked in) or wide open. 

Wyatt is 2 weeks old!

Wyatt is now 2 weeks old and growing.  At our 2-week check-up with the pediatrician yesterday, Wyatt was measuring 21 3/4 inches long, and 8 lbs 11 oz. - a growth of about a 1/4 of an inch in length and 8 ozs more than at birth.  He is a big eater!  He is very strong and definitely is getting good at holding his head up.  He makes some of the funniest faces and noises and we certainly find him quite entertaining. 

2010 was a great year for us as we are now blessed with Wyatt.  We look forward to a fantastic 2011 and all of the new life adventures we are about to encounter as parents!  We wish you all the best in 2011.

Hanging with Wyatt

We have had a busy first 12 days with Wyatt.  Wyatt is doing well and is a good sleeper!  We have had 6 hours of continuous sleep for the last three nights!  Yahoo!  Mom and Dad are very grateful! Wyatt is also a big eater.  We have our 2-week check-up tomorrow so we will find out just how much he has grown!  We can hardly believe that he is almost two weeks old - boy time is flying! Dad has ensured that he has been introduced to Sunday football and right now Wyatt is watching the AZ Wildcats play in the Alamo Bowl. Bear down! Wyatt also celebrated his first Christmas. The Brown's joined us at our home.  Besides meeting his parents, Wyatt has also met both sets of grandparents, one of his great aunts, two of his aunts, second cousins, and many new friends.  Here are a few pictures.

Wyatt comes home

Wyatt came home on Sunday, December 19th with Mom, Dad, Poppa and Grandma Andie.  We were all happy to be heading home!  Wyatt's blood work was improved enough for the pediatrician to release us.  We had a great supportive staff at the hospital.  Also Wyatt was delivered by a UofA med doc, Dr. Damon Hou, so Wyatt is destined to be a Wildcat just like his Mom and Dad!  He has some darling Wildcat gear to sport in several months.

Introducing Wyatt Aaron

We are proud to announce the birth of Wyatt Aaron born on December 17th at 12:03am.  He weighed in at 8 lbs 3 oz and is 21 5/8 inches long.  Mom, Dad and Wyatt are all doing well.
