one month, already




It is crazy to think that we have had Wyatt home for a whole month already! We have all changed so much it seems.

Today was Brian's first day back at work....and so far, so good. Wyatt and I have sat in the rocking chair and listened to the beautiful sounds of the vacuum cleaner a couple of times, and bounced around the house countless times as well. All in attempt to calm the little guy from the bouts of screaming that seem to consume our days at times.

We went back to Wenatchee this past week and it was great to have parents around. It was so nice to be with my mom and have her help with Wyatt. It is hard to have him around others because he will most likely wail uncontrollably and it makes me so anxious and uncomfortable. But with grandparents, its okay! My mom is a pro with a crying baby, too. Sean had Colic and Nick, well, he was just a big crybaby if I remember right :) I felt better being around her and hearing all of the things she went through. Most of all, her and Chet helped us feel that we were doing a good job and that Wyatt was alright - nothing is wrong with him!

I don't know why I never prepared myself for the possibility of him having Colic, but we are learning quick! I love the times of the day when he is alert and happy, just wish they happened more often! He is just starting to look at stuff around the house and seem interested in his surroundings. I need to get some pictures of the incredibly confused faces he makes at stuff - so cute.

Alright, there is somewhat of an explanation of why we have been M.I.A. for the past few weeks! Once I get a picture of him at one month of age, I will post more....

This too shall pass.....
It gets easier. Hang in there. Our little colic Luke- now he talks so much we find our selves wanting to say in the car, "Will you PLEASE stop talking and just sit QUIETLY?" But even that comes with such wonderful blessings.
I used to take him for walks in the Snuggly. Or any kind of baby wraps and sometimes the rhythm of me walking would calm him. You're doing great!

Shannon and Brian, Wyatt is so cute! That's so great that you were both able to be home with him for a whole month! It will keep getting easier!

Happy one month Wyatt!!! Shannon, he is sooooo precious! I am so happy I got to see you guys, even if it was for a short while! I don't think there is such thing a "preparing" for colic! Especially since different kids react to different things. Like Joy said, it will get easier! Love you!!
