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!!

im ready, he's not!!!

i'm putting this picture on here against my better judgement, i think i look huge!!


i went to the doctor last week and he told me i was 50% effaced and not dilated at all, i was fine with that because i still had 3 weeks to go. i went to him again yesterday and i am 50% effaced and not dilated, i wasn't to happy when i left the doctors office, and all night it kept wearing on me, i have been happy to be pregnant this whole time but this last week has really worn on me, by the time i get home from work i hurt pretty bad so i was hoping the doctor would have better news for me this week but when he told me i haven't progressed i was a little mad, but today i've accepted that my baby is probably just as stubborn as the rest of us Stubbs and he is going to come when he is ready!! i did ask the doctor if he would start me on the 5th if i haven't come by then but he said that he won't start me because if i'm not ready then inducing doesn't usually work and you end up having to have c-section, so i have to go a week over before he will start me!! i'm hoping and praying i don't go over that far!!


so the past few weeks i've been trying to get everything set up for when the baby gets here! i have set up his little room and put everything in it's place, i re-arranged things a few times until i've gotten it exactly the way i want. we will keep him in our room for a few weeks before we actually use the crib. i honestly just can't wait until he comes!

my grandpa made me this rocking chair!! i love it so much, i just need to get a little cushion for the seat but other then that its super comfortable, i can't wait to rock my baby in it!! but for now its my reading chair!!



this is the crib quilt my mom made me, its super soft and cute, there are different animals, a goldfish, duck, giraffe, whale, elephant, pig, sheep, dog, cat, hippo, bear, zebra, rabbit, frog, dinosaur, and a turtle they are all made out of the minke fabric and they are super soft! she spent a lot of time on it and i love it, and i'm sure our baby will too!!



these are just a couple of the animals!!

7 1/2 more weeks...but whos counting?!

i dont have any pictures of my prego belly, well my mom does but i really don't want to go get them to upload on here so you will have to do without!! lately i've been getting the pregnancy comments and i don't really appreciate them!! i honestly don't think i look that huge, maybe i am just lying to myself and i really do look like i am having triplets!! but as long as my doctor keeps telling me i am measuring perfect for how far along i am, then that's who i will listen to.

i've always found it amusing when pregnant woman waddle!! now i know why they do it!! i never really thought i would ache to bad, but standing on my feet for a few hours everyday kills me, luckily my hours have been cut back and its super slow so i don't have to stand or walk around too much, though i don't feel very productive at work, but i will make up for it when i go back!!

i am super excited for this baby to get here, everyone keeps telling me that i will wish it back inside after he is here, but i really don't think that i will, i honestly can't wait for him to come, i can't wait for all of the experiences that are heading our way, i don't get much sleep right now and i know its the lord preparing me for when he actually gets here, i hate my sleep being disturbed so i know that these past few weeks of not being able to get much sleep and always being super tired is the lords way of showing me that my sleep really isn't that important, though i know i will gladly lose sleep over the baby when he gets here.

my mom took me shopping a few days ago and we got a few things that i will need including a stroller and car seat and i cant wait to use it, all of our stuff is just sitting there waiting for him to come. everytime i get something new for him i can't wait to show tyson, though he never shows any enthusiasm for the cute outfits, shoes and accessories, he tells me i can't get mad because he is just more excited for the baby to come, he doesn't really care about the things we have to have for him, it doesn't really bother me because i know tyson is going to be the best dad in the entire world. if anyone has any advice on how NOT to get poop on your hands tyson will be very happy, he says he will die if he ever gets human poop on his hands!! and i wont be surprised if i show up one day and he has a gas mask on with gloves changing the baby's diaper!!

well i am hoping the next few weeks go by super fast and i hope that this baby decides to come early i am so ready to be a mom!!
