blue jean baby

Wyatt is now 5 months old! He is learning to sit up....tips over within a minute. He is constantly chewing on anything and everything he can get his mouth on, but no teeth yet. He eats baby food now and is solely on formula! I nursed this little dude for 5 months and my body could not keep up with his eating! We are all a lot happier on formula, with this change and him now eating solids I can FINALLY say Wyatt is sleeping through the night! YAAHHOOO! This is big for me....Emmy slept through the night at about 3 months old, so these last 2 months have been trying with my little Wy-Wy. He is such a calm and happy little guy (if his tummy is full!). When he gets mad, he shows it. Not only does he turn bright red and scream, he also thrust his body and arches his back....hmmm Mom and Dad wonder where is got that one?? :)

Girlie Girl

Emerson likes anything and everything GIRL! And I LOVE IT! She loves hair bows, necklaces, boots, hats and now - silly bands! I caught her jumping on my bed with her beret hat on and a wrist full of silly bands! Whats a girl to do?.....

food, food, food

Wyatt is now eating solids....and can-not-get-enough! He is my eater that is for sure! We started him a few weeks ago on baby oatmeal and now he also has had fruits and veggies. He is eating food twice a day and has a bunch of milk bottles in between. He is happy when his tummy is full, and when Wyatt is happy...Mommy is happy.

Fall Festivities

We have had a busy fall here at our household! The weather in CO right now is amazing 60-70 degree days still....and tomorrow is November! I love living here! We were able to take the kids to a few fall festivals this year with friends and family. Emerson had so much fun this year celebrating! My mom is a teacher and her elementary school puts on the "Creekside Carnival" every year. The kids wear their costumes, play games, get prizes, eat pizza....Emmy could not get enough.

We went with our good friends, The Kinley's to the Chatfield pumpkin patch this year....Emmy and Ayden had a blast running around and picking out their pumpkins. Well, I guess the dads picked those out....these 2 just had fun being kids.

With the Jenner family we went to Flat Acres Farm here in Parker for some more fall fun. At the farm, Emmy enjoyed the petting zoo, duck race, jump castle, caramel corn and just being outside on yet another beautiful day.

We are gearing up for Halloween tonight....so I will post many more pictures of that and the kids in their glory.

On a side note....Steve and I were able to sneak away to Cabo this week for a few days without the kiddies (thanks Mom and Dad!). We went down their with our great friends JR and Andrea....it was a very memorable trip and we look forward to our next one!

lovely

I wanted to share a few of my favorite shots from the Botanical Gardens....perfect time of year to visit!

a new toy...

Wyatt got a new toy! Well, actually it is a hand-me-down from his sister but regardless very new and intriguing to him. Wy really likes the exersaucer, good thing as we have been running out of options for him :). He is able to pull on the toys, make the music play and rattle whatever it is that rattles! He can be entertained in this large contraption for some time....lucky me!

family

We had a family full weekend! Steve's dad and step mom were in town from San Diego visiting us for the weekend. They were ending their 3 week long road trip with us! Grandpa and Grandma got to meet Wyatt for the first time, so that was an added treat! We went to Botanical Gardens for the afternoon and you can see that Emmy and her cousin Logan had a blast! The weather is still seeming a bit like summer here, we have been in the 80's for most of the month. Though as I write this today....it is finally feeling like fall! I love fall, so I hope we get some great fall weather this month!

This guy..

Is possibly the cutest baby boy ever! My Wyatt is now 4 months old! He is 15 pounds, rolls over all the time, sleeps on his belly (naughty!), is constantly drooling, and wants to crawl SO bad....he is getting on all fours but not going anywhere yet. He is so over the baby swing and papasan chair....his butt is not even touching the chair and he is already crying. He has found a love for the exersaucer though. We also have a play mat that plays music....he thinks its pretty cool too, that is until he rolls away from it. This little dude is so wonderful...I am so blessed to be his mama!
