Officially One Month Old!

I cannot believe we have a one month old!!! Where has the time gone?! It has been a wild ride thus far and Nick and I have certainly figured out how awesome our parents are :) This is by far the hardest job in the world - but also the most fun and rewarding.

Sleep has been few and far between, but Wyatt is starting to figure out nights and days. He is so much more alert now and will follow objects, is super strong (using his legs to push against us and holding up his head!) and is just more adorable each day. He has changed so much in the last couple of weeks - he has grown over 2 inches and is 8 pounds 9 ounces.

As for Nick and myself, we are doing well. The adjustment was tough at first but I think we finally have a handle on this thing :) We have all the funny stories (getting peed on, pooped on and of course spit up on) and LOVE cuddling with our baby boy. It is so fun for us to watch a little person we created grow and change - we make pretty great babies if I do say so myself :)

We are heading out to the beach Labor Day weekend and are excited to see how we do with Wyatt on the road. Hopefully this will be the first of many trips and not the one and only! :)

And now for the pictures - why you all visit this blog anyway...:)

Happy end of summer!

The "big" little man

Wyatt is now 3 weeks old and looks so much bigger/older! He is doing so well - putting on weight, sleeping (sort of) at night, staying awake more, focusing on things and still making cute/silly faces at mom and dad. :)

This week we worked on tummy time and hung out in the backyard...

Newborn pictures should be ready soon - I will post them as soon as I have them!

Love,

Two weeks OLD!

Wyatt is now two weeks old and is starting to develop his little personality :) He has the pout down pat (wonder where he got that from ;) and has funny faces/noises he loves to make. He is growing SO much and is as healthy as can be. His first dr apt went very well, besides his loaded diaper that the doctor changed for us :) He is doing great at sleeping at night - giving us 4 or 5 hour chunks between feedings. During the day he is awake more - sometimes happy and more often not. It has been a wonderful two weeks and we are SO excited to see him grow and change each day.

Here are a couple pictures from his second week here in the world :)

One week old :)

Our little man is already a week old! How did that happen?! Today we have our newborn pictures and can't wait to see how those go...it has been a rough morning :) Wyatt's first week was an eventful one - between being born, hospital fun, visitors and his daddy's 30th birthday party - it was a packed week. We have been SO LUCKY that he has been so good and just goes with the flow. We are just smitten with our little man :)

Here are some pics from his first week - a couple of just him, some of all my boys, some from the 30th BBQ and one of all the little cousins together :)

Enjoy!

He is here!!!! :)

Our son, Wyatt Edward Bales, joined us on Tuesday the 27th at 2:34pm :) He was 8 pounds and 2 ounces and 20 1/4 inches long...not a small one! He is healthy as can be and absolutely perfect! We are not biased at all ;)

Here are a couple pictures so you can see what I am talking about...ADORABLE! :)

Love,

All three of the Bales
