Rolling!!

Wyatt had started rolling!!! :) I keep trying to catch a video or picture of him doing so, but I haven't been fast enough.... But, here's what he looked like just after self-propelling from tummy to back in his crib the other day.... He still doesn't do it very often, but its so cute when he does it!!! :)

Playtime!

Wednesday mornings are officially my favorite. We have Lift (church dinner) and Stephen ministry training till 9 on Wednesday nights, so the kids and I take time Wednesday morning to just play together. Today, we walked down to the park and "drove" to California to see Zannas new house, drove to Dallas to see Mimi, and to Florida to visit Mickey. Then, we went swinging after all of our travels.... I love being a part of Zannas imaginative play! And Wyatt loved swinging so that was a treat to have him enjoying the park too!

Fancy Nancy goes tricycle riding

Tonight we went on a family walk after dinner. Just before leaving, Zanna decided she just HAD to wear her fanciest church dress for this walk (with her sneakers). She also was insistent that she carry her sparkle-pink purse which housed her all-important princess phone. Cam and I couldnt contain our laughter when while riding down the sidewalk, Zanna declared "oh, Cinderella's calling" and dug her pink phone out of her purse and proceeded to continue down the sidewalk while talking with Cinderella. I quickly threw Cam my phone and had him jog up in front of her to catch a picture. We'll teach her not to talk and ride another day... Today, it was just cute!

Four month pictures and stats!

Wy had his four month "birthday" yesterday, and we went in for his check-up. He continues to fill out and now weighs 14 lbs 9 oz and is 26.75" long (which is the 95%, so he takes after his tall granddaddies!
He is such a sweet pumpkin and did beautifully at his appointment. Here are pics of him on his four-month birthday.,.and of course some of his doting sister!

Service day at FPC!

Today was First500, our congregation-wide mission service day in the Austin community. This was both Zanna and Wyatt's first year to participate and I stayed on campus to help Zanna with the many projects the children did... We made "angel bags" for homeless, full of food and water, dog beds for puppies at the shelter, beans and rice bags for a food pantry and generally had an awesome time serving others. It was special to participate in this event with my kiddos and share with them the importance of outreach.

Growing up....

Wyatt is growing up so much! At almost 4 months old, he's a smiling, laughing, happy baby. He is SO easy-going (unless his belly's empty!) and easily amused by his silly big sister. Zanna is loving all his interactions-especially his newfound giggle! She LOVES to make him laugh and comes up with silly songs and noises to crack him up.
I was very nervous about him going to "school" since he's so little and cuz I'm a nervous Nellie sometimes, but he's been loving it and I love how well cared for he is there. He goes to Gethsemane Lutheran Church two days a week and he's enjoying Ms. Vicki and Ms. Jeannie and the other kids who are in his class. I've been amazed that every time I've walked in, there are 6 happy contented babies ! Only once have I heard a cry and it was my own son noticing mom was there to feed him. They do a good job of keeping the babies full, played with and happy! That helps me feel good about my sweet baby boy being away from me!
Enough rambling, right? On to the pictures!!

Wyatt's baptism!

Wyatt Lee was baptized today at First Presbyterian Church! What a special and meaningful worship it was, with our dear friends and family present! Pastor Terry baptized Wyatt, and his godparents, Marta and David Ukropina, were there as well and affirmed their intention to help us raise Wyatt as a disciple of Jesus Christ!

Afterwards, we enjoyed several hours of playtime and a delicious lunch... Thankful for family and friends traveling to be with us!
