Christmas wish list:

Whenever I get asked what I want for Christmas I always have to think about it, unable to name stuff from the top of my head, so I've decided to make another wishlist :)

I would like:

-Some new knives, preferably Wusthof or Henckel ones, the ones I have frankly just don't cut very well. And if you really wanted to, you could get me a whole set :D

-Some non stick cookware, calphalon fry pan and/or skillet would be awesome! Mine are really cheap and the non-stick part no longer applies to them.

-GPS, I get lost a lot, and will probably be worse when I have to relocate, haha...

-Cookbooks with a lot of pretty pictures, I love cookbooks and like to look at yummy food :)

-Haircut, just because I haven't had one in 7 months >.<

-Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX: can be used to glass, how awesome is that?

-New Purse, maybe a leather tote so it can double as a diaper bag.

-Gift Certificates to: William-Sonoma, Sephora, Bath and Body Works, The Container Store, Food...etc

-Massage

-Mani

-Pedi

lol

Whatever else you might think Wyatt would like...

Oy.

I'm mad at Blake, it's like everything falls apart as soon as he leaves. AND scary stuff starts happening. I keep hearing noises like there's someone else here, and this is with the kitties with me and Wyatt asleep, it's very disturbing... maybe I'm just going crazy. Oh, and about 30 minutes ago, Wyatt's old mobile starts playing music. I set it above his changing table because we don't use it anywhere else. There were no kitties up there and Wyatt definitely didn't turn it on... stupid thing turned on on it's own.

This might make me seem crazy, but I try to not react to it, like there's a ghost around and it can see me being scared or something, lol... I don't want to feed the troll, okay? :/

I don't know, just felt like sharing, pray for me! As far as everything else goes, I definitely have been better. It's very sad and lonely without Blake around. I'm so thankful for Wyatt, he fills up my days and gives me a reason to be a better person, and has the sweetest smile and laugh ever.

It's going to be like being a single mom....kind of.

I figured it was time for an update! Wyatt is so funny, he takes his bottles or anything he's eating really and goes the the kitties make an "mmmmmm....Mmmmmmmm" sound, trying to convince them it's yummy, haha. He figured out they like to eat his cheese so he's just trying everything he can. I love when he puts it to their mouths and try to force feed them. Just yesterday he took a cracker and came up to me and said "MMMmmmmmm" and put it in my mouth. He also likes to give everyone and everything kisses. I'm so surprised at how smart he is, and how much he knows, I wish he would start spewing out words, but I'm not worried about it, I'm sure he'll start talking when he wants to.

I tried my best to get him to pose, he looks kind of silly. Oh yeah, we moved him up to the next level of Gymboree classes and he seems to really enjoy being with the old kids. The teachers actually suggested that I move him up because he was such a good walker and runner. It's funny because he's pretty much fearless when he's running around and doesn't watch for elevation changes, which sometimes ends up as a tragedy, like when he scraped his forehead on the carpet. He's been a little more careful since then.

Blake is shipping out on Monday, but Sunday will be my last day seeing him and he has to report to the hotel at 5PM. It's a bummer, but that's just the way things are. I'm trying to be strong for Wyatt and I'm making a promise to myself that I wont cry. It's not like he's dead or anything, just gone for a long time. I'm dreading the drive to Ft Worth, I have to get my ID's and stuff so I can get on their healthcare and stuff. Right now we're make sure we have all the paperwork together so we don't have to worry about it. We're eating at all our favorite places and trying new placed we've been wanting to go to the past few days just so we can get it all in, plus I love eating, hahaha. Blake will be back for Christmas for 2 weeks, and then gone again for 6 months. I hope I'll be okay as a single mother for a while.

One messy Boy!

Wyatt likes picking up something and carrying it all over our apartment, like spoons, or crystal light packets, pretty much anything he can find and hold in one hand. And he started to crawl really goofy when reaches the kitchen or bathroom, because the faux wood or something. Maybe it doesn't feel good on his knees or something, haha. It's really silly. He pushes his back legs up like the kitty. Oh, speaking of kitties....Wyatt loves all cats. He gets super excited when we take him to the animal shelter. Dogs...not so much. But whenever he goes through the kitty aisles, he is super excited, coos, yells, etc. It's so cute!


This is after I gave him an earth's best biter's bisquit, at least that's what I think they're called. He pretty much let it melt in his mouth a little bit, and took the cookie and rubbed it all over his face, behind his neck..and ears, where ever those little hands could reach. By the time he had finished, the mush has hardened and it was a nightmare to clean him off. It looks like he has  some skin disorder, lol.

Better late than never?

Photo Shoot

These were taken at Kiddie Kandids. I guess someone new had just started working and wanted to practicing shooting pictures, so she asked us if we would let her take pictures of Wyatt for a free 5x7. She kept poking at Wyatt with a featherduster, hoping to provoke a smile, but it didn't really work. He just looked at her the whole time trying to figure out who she was, haha. It's too bad we couldn't get him to smile really big, I think it's absolutely adorable when he does. He wasn't feeling too good, he's still getting over a really horrible cold. I've been so tired the past week from waking up every hour or so at night. I don't mind, it's just so energy draining. All I have to do is shove a pacifier into Wyatt's mouth, and he goes back to sleep, but... sometimes he wants one in his mouth and he can't breathe so I end up having to take him to the rocking chair and rocking him back to sleep. I don't really remember how many times I wake up at night anymore. Anyway, here are the pictures, I'm glad they don't show his nose full of boogers, haha. Enjoy!

We didn't buy any, the packages are really expensive. I think we might schedule something at JCPenny, it's cheaper (I think, but I'm not sure). 

Free formula, yay!

Help! I'm stuck in Wyatt's hamper! hahaha, stupid kitten. He's been kind of annoying. We put him on a diet, so that instead of eating (at least) a cup of food a day, he eats about 3/4 cup. I try to feed him 3 times a day so that he doesn't eat it all at once and get really hungry later. But... now all he does all day is meow and yell at me to give him more food. He just keeps yelling and yelling, I hope he just gets used to it. At least it amuses Wyatt, he likes it when Kitten talks, and now we're in the business of terrifying the Kitten. To get him to stop yelling sometimes, I'll chase him around the apartment with Wyatt in my arms, in Godzilla mode! I usually stand him up and drag him along the carpet and he kind of hunches over and walks, one foot in front of the other, I should make a video of it sometime. It's sooo funny because Kitten is terrified of Wyatt. Probably all the hair he's lost, poor kitty. Oh, and he's lost .4 lbs, yay!

This is one cool baby, we couldn't get an unblurry shot, he was so cute!
And, now they're getting along. Well, Wyatt is giving the kitty a hug, and kitten is trying to run away, lol.

I finally decided to apply for WIC for Wyatt, and now he gets free formula. Now I can quit breastfeeding without adding to our monthly expenses, which is really nice. 

Valentines day was really nice, Blake surpised with a huge bouquet of red roses and white lilies. It's literally bush sized and really beautiful. The lilies should bloom soon. I'll take pictures. I also got some super fattening chocolates, lol. I ate five that day, and now I'm trying to limit myself to one or two a day. 

Oh yeah, we found out that Wyatt weighs over 18 lbs now. He's getting so big, I kind of miss when he was a lot tinier, but I'm looking forward to everything that is about to happen. I had a dream a few nights ago that Wyatt was walking! He fell quite a bit, but just got himself back up and kept going, it was so cute, and I was so proud of him(even though it was a dream). I have more pictures to upload, I may do it tomorrow. They're on the camera and my phone, so we'll see.
