Second Verse Same As the First, Night 5

Last night was pretty much a repeat of Friday night. I am excited about the progress the little guy has made over the week. I think we will slowly but surely get there. We had a great Mother's Day by spending some time at the park and picking up some cupcakes, so delicious. Kevin was awesome and got me three cards, one from Bella, one from Wyatt, and one from him, so thoughtful. I love my little family.

Victory, I Can Almost Taste It, Night 4

Wyatt slept from 8 p.m. until 4 a.m. I got up and gave him his pacifier, he went right back to sleep and slept until 4:45, when Kevin got up and gave him his pacifier again. He literally cried for 1 minute then went to sleep until 6:30. So close, we're so close. What a great Mother's Day present.

It Continues, Night 3

He did much better last night. Only woke up at 4:00 a.m. and fussed for about 20 minutes then went to sleep until 6:00 a.m., so awesome! Wyatt also got a new high chair today and sat in it like a big boy while he ate his rice cereal mixed with pears, he still prefers sweet potatoes.

The Not So Dreaded Cry-Out, Night 2

Well last night lasted a little longer 3:45 a.m. to 5:00 a.m., but he didn't really cry too much, just fussed intermittently and finally went to sleep. He slept until 6:00 a.m. I think tonight should be better, and if I dare say we may have an excellent weekend on our hands.

The Dreaded Cry-Out, Night 1

For the past couple of months Wyatt has been waking up at 1:30 a.m., 3:30 a.m., and 5:30 a.m. Each time I have been feeding him and changing his diaper. It hasn't been until the past couple of weeks that I've realized he is barely eating and his diaper doesn't need to be changed so much. So with my strength gathered from friends and family who have done the deed, I summoned all I had to experiment last night. He went to bed at 8:00 p.m., then woke around 1:30 a.m., I just gave him his pacifier and he went right back to sleep. He then woke at 3:15 a.m., I tried to give him his pacifier, he wouldn't have it. He cried from 3:15 a.m. to 3:45 a.m. Honestly I expected worse from him. I just kept rubbing his belly, trying to give him the pacifier, but never picked him up. He then slept until 5:30 a.m. when I fed him. It was great. Let's see tonight if it goes easier. Maybe with some lucky this little guy will be sleeping through the night by the end of the week!

The Adventures of Wyatt

Well we've tried rice cereal, hated it. Oatmeal, hated it. So I decided to go for some fruit after every time I pulled out his spoon and he saw it he literally gagged. Pears on Saturday, loved them. Sweet potatoes today, loved them. And tonight for the piece de resistance, I'm going to mix the rice cereal with the sweet potatoes...more to come. I was getting sick of Wyatt's scraggly hair this weekend, he's lost so much of his baby hair he's looking like he does a come over with a few long strands. Kevin has taken to calling him "Costanza". So I took Kevin's clippers and buzzed him, I love it, so much better. Now he looks like his uncle Andy.

Travelling-April 29-May 2

We made the road trip to St. George, UT for Kim's baby shower. Wyatt did well on the way down, slept most of the time except for the last hour. By the time we arrived at Kim's, which was 1:30 a.m., he decided it was playtime, we were up until 3:30 a.m.! The next day we pulled ourselves out of bed and headed to my mom's. My mom watched Wyatt for the night while Kevin and I went to a nice dinner and spent the night at the Green Valley resort for our two year anniversary. It was my first night away from the little guy. It was so nice to sleep in...and not be woken up in the middle of the night. Thanks mom, what an anniversary present! On Saturday, Wyatt and I went to Kim's baby shower and Kevin went shooting with Garrett, my dad, and Andy, they loved it. After we all went to Grandma Jean's to see the rest of the family, Wyatt got to meet more cousins. Unfortunately Grandma was in the hospital. We decided to head back to SD really early in the morning on Sunday to beat the traffic, what a good idea:) Wyatt slept like a baby (ha ha) and it was a quick trip home. It was so nice to see everyone, but it's always nice to come home, especially to good weather.
