New York!

We have officially moved to New York (not the city but outside of Albany!!) It's GORGEOUS here! The snow is amazing a little bit cold but so pretty and of course once I'm stuck in it and my toes are frozen I may have a different opinion but for now I LOVE it :) Wyatt is loving it too!! He is getting some good quality time with his Nana Deb and Papa Jerry :) and being spoiled rotten.. he also got to meet his Aunty Hannah for the first time too!!

He still hasn't gotten rid of the ear infections but is teething really bad so I'm hoping once the teeth come in his ears will clear up! He is scooting all over the place and pulling himself up whenever he gets a chance once he starts walking he will be hell on 2 feet lol. He is getting back on schedule the 2 day drive up here threw him off a bit and he's had some late nights but he gets used to things more each day :)

He went to get him first Christmas tree today :) it was neat you got to walk around and pick out a tree you like and then cut it down. We had fun!! It was a little cold walking through the snow but I kept him bundled up in his blanket so it didn't seem to bother him much he just kept looking around at the trees or looking at me to see what to think lol.

Fall is here!

I have been meaning to get on here and update for a while but every night after I put him to bed I'm too tired to think but finally I am updating.. I really feel like deleting facebook so I'd at least spend more time updating the blog plus I just hate fb.

Wyatt had his first halloween he was Batman (mommy's little superhero hahah) we went to visit my friends at UNC Charlotte for a costume birthday party and spent the weekend there. Wyatt had a good time and it was nice to have friends around again. We went to some cute little bakeries and of course I was in my glory loI dropped out of school but want to go back in January for the baking certificate but we'll see.. I use to be able to juggle school, work, and a life(friends, family, parties) but it's completely different when you have to take care of another person 24/7 it's really hard.. We came back Sunday (halloween day) and he wore his skeleton pjs and helped hand out candy that night.

He has been sick with ear infections this past month :( the pharmacy messed up his medicines so he never got better and now has strep throat and on his 4th week(10 days) of antibiotics so hopefully this will work and he will be all better.

He has been sitting up a lot better and is learning to get down without falling back or busting his head on the ground.. and his army crawl is turning into more of a crawl it's cute!! He is getting so big I can't believe it!!!! He will be a year in 4 months it's ridiculous although I am content with only having one kid I will miss the baby stage lol.

His dad and grandparents are coming next week for thanksgiving so that should be a lot of fun for him. I'm glad he isn't at the age to know a lot yet cause I'm still so uncomfortable about things and I really do hope he has a good relationship with them as well since they're his family too. It sucks being 12 hours away it's still so unreal sometimes cause I don't understand how the entire situation came to be.. Hopefully we will be closer soon though- it will be good for Wyatt to have both parents around and even though he will never have that "traditional" family I'm glad that his dad and I are friends so he will still always have both of us just at separate houses :).. I can't wait to see who he is going to be like. I know there are traits from both of us I'd want him to have and then ones I pray he doesn't have lol. He got hit with being stubborn from both sides though and is already stubborn as stubborn can be. People say a grandchild is a mothers revenge and well although I wasn't a bad kid in general when I acted up I went big lol so Wyatt will give me a run for my money I'm sure! And I know his daddy is no angel either lol. I am however in loveeeeee with his green eyes if he didn't get anything else from his dad those eyes would make up for it all hahah. I'm sure those eyes will get him out of a bunch of trouble with a sweet little smile I'm sure I'll melt lol.. I don't ever wanna be in the same room as him and his daddy when he wants something I can see it now "but mommm it's only a quad/dirtbike/mustang/etc" then they'll batt their green eyes and smile and I'll be sold! Imma have to sell my soul to the devil to be able to say no to those eyes haha.. Wyatt looks like his daddy more and more each day though. He has my cheeks and if he is sickly you can see it in his eyes and face like me when I'm sick but other than that all boy and all daddy lol.. Even people who don't know Wyatt's dad ask if he looks like his father haha but of course it's how it goes I do the work and daddy gets the credit for that sweet face of his haha.. I will probably be busy this next week to get things ready for thanksgiving and stuff but I will try to update about the visit and how Wyatt liked turkey :) as soon as I can.

October

So Wyatt is still sick :( he actually got worse. I had to leave school and take him to the doctor Thursday because he was throwing up with a fever but not eating anything :(... The pediatrician he was seeing couldn't "fit him in" so I took it upon myself to find a new doctor and will NOT being going back to the other one! He is on a different antibiotic for his ear infection and ZyrtecD to help clear out his nose. He seems to be getting better on the new medicine though and I take him in Wednesday for a follow up appointment. He has been miserable though and not sleeping well at night so we are both miserable and it has been a long couple of days.

I took him to the pumpkin patch in Wilmington though and got him his first pumpkin and next weekend we are going to Charlotte (if he is feeling better) for halloween :) it should be fun!

I can't believe how fast this year has gone by he is 7 1/2 months already things are changing so fast!!
But he is passed out and I need to get some sleep too!

sickly baby

Well I am lucky that with his rough start he hasn't gotten sick earlier but it still sucks... He has an ear infection and red throat both of which can be caused by teething but because he has been miserable and snotty/ clogged up he is now on antibiotics :( hopefully things will get better in the next couple days cause I hate that he is sick..

Besides going to the doctors today was just a waste of a day we didn't do much of anything.. he slept and I did homework -so glad I have a week off after tomorrow.. I just feel like turning off my phone and computer and going to the middle of nowhere with Wyatt for a few days to just get away from everything!!! He just fell asleep so I'm going to get ready for bed now too :)

First half coming to an end..

I CANNOT believe that month 6 is almost over.. It literally feels like yesterday we were in NY and he got his first tooth/teeth and was a few days short of 6 months. I don't know where the time went.. I can even remember where I was a year ago only 16 weeks pregnant finding out Wyatt was a boy because I went into the hospital from him head-butting me so hard and doing summersaults but I thought it was too soon to even feel him considering he wasn't even a pound lol. Time has seriously flown by it's just crazyy!! He changes SO much everyday! I was looking at his pictures from NICU and just how different he looks now and so big!! He totally looks like his dad though :) which is sweet. And like I say a million times I LOVEEEE his green eyes haha. That was the only thing I really hoped for and I really hope they stay green!! It's crazy to think we are almost to a year and he is going to be crawling, walking, and talking all at once. He is almost done introduction to vegetable baby food then next will be the fruits and eventually table food CRAZZYYY!!! He is sick and miserable right now so I'm taking him into the doctors tomorrow morning but other than that he is doing really well :)

tongues lol

Wyatt finished the introduction of squash, which he LOVED, and we moved onto sweet potatoes, which he hates lol. So instead of pushing sweet potatoes more I'm going to move onto carrots and hope he likes that :) Apparently picky eating is inherited and I have a long future of chicken fingers, bacon cheese burgers, and steak SWEEEET hahha hopefully it's just cause we're sick that he doesn't want anything to do with it though. He hasn't gotten whatever cold/flu as bad as I have it and I hope he doesn't cause it could be bad :( but he has been miserable!! The other night he was up every hour - two hours like clock work worse than when I fight brought him home! I think his tummy was hurting cause he hadn't pooped in 2 days but he had a blow out yesterday and a good one today :) He is getting so big he is going to be 1 before I know it!! It will be nice because it's on my spring break so I get to have a birthday week for him hahaha. He sat up without help for over a minute the other day :) he is getting better and better at it, he tries to crawl too but gets SOOO frustrated cause he can't move but works his little legs as hard as he can lol. And as the picture shows he LOVES to stick out his tongue at EVERYTHING!! He'll bite you do an evil smile/laugh and stick out his tongue it's hilarious!!! But I should attempt homework while he sleeps :)

Squashh

YAY it's official we started baby food yesterday and he LOVED it!! Gobbled it all up lol. So hopefully I have him wired to like fruits and veggies before his daddy gets his hands on his eating habits and I'm stuck fixing bacon cheese burgers, steak, pizza or chicken tenders lol. It's funny cause I could totally live without meat but I do need to learn kid friendly ways to make it so when he does start eating table food I know what to make. He had two blow outs today YAY!! I think only a mom can be excited about pooping haha. So hopefully the fiber in the veggies help keep him regular :)

He got his 6 month shots on friday and hated the nurse more than the shots :/ unfortunately she was the only one working at the time so I couldn't ask for someone else (I think when it comes to having a kid the bitch comes out in moms 'cause if we feel like the safety of our kid is threatened claws sure as hell come out, and we're tired, still hormonal even if it's just PMS lol).. He hated her though even when she was doing routine weight and height checks. He didn't have a high fever after this time and it didn't seem to bother him after at all :) he's a tough guy haha.

School sucks, has always sucked, and will continue to suck for however many years it takes to pass but it must be done!

Football has started so Uncle AK came over and watched the Falcons game on sunday! Wyatt loved it lol he was starring at the tv intensely it was cute.. Hockey season is coming up I think our minor team starts the end of Oct. so hopefully I'll be able to take Wy to a few of those gotta embed the game in him while he's young haha. I really hope he likes hockey and plays but if he doesn't then whatever makes him happy!
