life

wyatt does something new on a daily basis! his first tooth finally popped through on the 24th of march and his second one came a week later! he got so use to me holding him and loving him for several weeks while he was teething that now he thinks he needs me to hold him and play with him all the time. he has picked up screaming just for fun, he screams when you don't pay attention to him, he screams at his toys, he screams when you don't feed him fast enough, he just loves to scream, and he is not quiet when he screams, it is an ear piercing little girl scream but i love it!!! he rolls all over the place, i can't leave him on the bed, he has rolled off of it 3 times (you think i would learn) even if you place pillows and blankets around him he somehow wiggles through them!! he tries so hard to crawl, and he gets frustrated when he cant move where he wants to. he has started to try and pull himself up to the couch and he gets mad when he can't, so i hold out my hands and he grasps them and pulls himself up, i wonder if he will figure out walking before he crawls!!

tyson and i went with my sister and her husband to Zions National Park on Easter weekend, we left wyatt with my mom which was hard cause i've never left him for longer then a night but it was nice to have sometime away! we got there at like 1 in the morning and set up camp and went straight to bed, we woke up the next morning and hiked angels landing, it was super hard...well for my sister and i, it was worth it though. we started the hike at 11 that morning and finished at 4:30 in the afternoon, after that we sat in the pool for a few hours then made tin foil dinners and went to bed, it rained all that night but stopped as soon as we got up for breakfast, we headed home later that morning after we did some shopping in town!! we had tons of fun and i think i want another vacation, that just wasn't long enough, though it was long enough away from wyatt, i missed him so much!!

on easter sunday we went to my parents house and they had a little easter egg hunt for everyone!! wyatt made a haul! actually all of these eggs aren't his we just dumped them all over him and got pictures!!

i love this picture he is such a cute baby, i love him to death, he brings so much joy into our lives. you can't really see is easter outfit but it is super cute (thanks to grandma cork!!)

the best day of my life!

3 years ago today i married the most wonderful man in the world, it was the best day of my life! i am so grateful for him and all that he does for me and our son. he is the most loving person i have ever met in my life and i am the luckiest woman in the world to have him as my husband. tyson is the man he is today because of the way he was raised, i am eternally grateful to his parents for the exceptional son they raised. i love him to death and i am excited for what the future holds for our family!

mr wyatt

wyatt is now 4 months old, almost 5, he now weighs 19.2 lbs and probably even closer to 20 since

we went to the doctor at the first of the month. i asked the doctor if wyatt could have rice in his bottles because he was eating 6-7 ounces every hour and a half, he was constantly hungry, but the doctor told me he would try not to but if i couldn't handle feeding him that often then i could use my own discretion, but not to feed him any solids until he is 6 months old. well i tried putting the rice in the formula in his bottle but it didn't seem to help at all, so i decided i wasn't going to

listen to the doctor instead i took my family's advice.

i started to feed him just the rice cereal!! he loves it, he eats so much of it too, i couldn't believe how much he ate the first time i feed it to him, and he is a natural, he didn't spit it out at all!! i only feed it to him at night before he goes to bed, now during the day he eats every 2-3-4 hours which is nice!! he is also rolling over, from his back to his tummy, the doctor said that it is rare that big babies roll from back to tummy first. he was also surprised at how strong wyatt is and how social he is!! he rolled off our ottoman a few days after he learned to roll over luckily our bean bag was there to catch him!!

he loves his bumbo chair!!
he also loves to stand up now, he thinks he is such a big boy when he stands up!!!

tonight grandma gave him his first haircut while he was sleeping!! now it is nice and even and it doesn't look so messy!!!

i can't remember if in my last post if i said we had moved to provo, but we have!!!! and we love it, it's been nice to be on our own again, though i miss being able to just give him to my mom for a few minutes while i needed a break. i also quit my job so i am now a full time mom!! i love to be able to spend all day with my little man!! it is such a joy to be a mom to him!! tyson is still working and going to school, he love's his teachers and he is now on the honor roll!!!

wyatt's blessing

we blessed waytt on december 5th, tyson gave him such a wonderful blessing. im so grateful to have a husband that is a worthy priesthood holder that can give blessings whenever needed! wyatt is now 3 months old and getting bigger everyday! he wears 6-9 month clothing and he weighs about 17 lbs!! he goes to bed at 10:30 every night and wakes up around 6:30-7 in the morning and eats for about 20 minutes then goes back to bed till 8 or 9!! he is such a happy baby he usually only crys when he is hungry tired or needs his diaper changed. he is grabbing at objects that are in front of him, he loves his bounce chair that has his toys on it, he will sit and talk to them forever!! he loves his fists, he trys to put his whole hand in his mouth, he also loves to scratch his face, i have to put mittens on his hands because he has got his eye a couple of times
he still loves his bath time, he makes me laugh until im crying every time i bath him because he gets so excited, he splashes his water out of is tub everytime!! he also loves to be in just his diaper, he kicks his legs and moves his arms so fast when he is naked!! i can never record any of this though because as soon as the camera is out and he notices it, he stops everything and just sits there looking at it, he is a little stinker but we love him to death!!!

wyatt

wyatt loves his bath time, he has pretty much out grown his bath tub, he splashes water every where when he is in it. we have put him in the big bath a few times and just held his head out of the water and he wiggles like crazy!! i think he is going to be a little fish and love the water like his mom!!
i absolutely love this picture because of his fat belly and double chin!!
he was a dinosaur for halloween, this is the best picture i have of him, he didn't really like his costume, but i am going to go have some professional pictures taken of him in it and his blessing outfit, which i just bought today and he looks so freakin cute in it!!
one of the girls that i work with bought him this hat and he looks so stinkin cute in it, i love it!!
he has is two month appointment on tuesday and he has to have few shots which im not excited for, i can't wait to find out how much he weighs and what percentile he is in!! he is such a big boy i love it. he usually sleeps about 5 1/2-6 hours each night which has been great! he is growing out of his 3 month clothes already and is not wearing either 3-6 months or 6 month clothes, he is growing way to fast!! tyson and i love being parents and wyatt brings so much happiness into our lives!!

just a few pictures!

my aunt launa took pictures of wyatt, and a few of us, this is our favorite of all of us together.

this is one of my favorite pictures of him. he is really starting to get fat, i love his fat rolls.

my mom suggested that we use tyson's skateboard for a few pictures and they turned out so stinkin cute!!

this one is another one of my favorites of him!! he was so good during all of this, he slept through most of the pictures and when he woke up he was happy and not fussy at all. he is such a good baby, we couldn't ask for a better little boy, we love him to death!!

Wyatt James Van Wagoner

this is my last pregnancy picture, i am 40 weeks and 4 days. we had to be at the hospital at 7 in the morning, this is me in the waiting room, waiting to check in. we were there at 7 and it only took us a few minutes to check in, we then went to our room where we were suppose to only wait like 45 minutes to start the c-section but they got backed up, so we ended up going in at like 9:30, they wouldn't let tyson in the room with me when i got the epidural which i didn't like at all, i got really nervous being there by myself. after i got the epidural they strapped me down and got me all ready to go and then they let tyson come in. they started the surgery at 10:21 and Wyatt was born at 10:27


he weighed 10 lbs 15 oz and 21 inches long!! when they typed his weight into the computer it rounded it up to 11 pounds!!

when they stitched me up and wheeled me back into my room wyatt was in the nursery, i only got to see him for a few seconds before they took him away and they i had to wait in my room for like 45 minutes before they finally brought him to me. this is me holding him for the first time.

tyson is a very proud daddy!! he was awesome our entire stay at the hospital, he changed all of his diapers and never complained about it at all!!

grandpa van holding wyatt for the first time!

wyatt on his way home!!
