A few pictures from the weekend...

:(

Sorry for no new pictures, smiles are pretty limited in our house this week. Mr. Wyatt is teething and he doesn't care who knows it!

On a good note we have a date set for Wyatt's baptism, May 27th! More details to come!

I will try to post pictures soon, I need Ryan to find me a converter for our camera. They are .nef files and not .jpeg! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Bedtime

Since we have gotten back from the cruise, Wyatt has been sleeping though the night for us. He usually eats between 9 and 9:30 then all he needs is 10 minutes of bedtime music from his best pal, Scout and he sleeps until I wake him up for daycare in the morning. I finally got the courage to let him sleep in his crib. He did great and I didn't have a panic attack, definitely a win!

Physical Therapy

Can I go to bed yet?

What can make a little boy this exhausted? 1 hour of physical therapy, that's what. Poor little guy has torticolis (tightening & shortening of neck muscles) which causes him to always tilt his head to his left. If this does not get corrected he can stay tilted forever, develop scoliosis, or have eye issues.

Our physician referred us to Mary Free Bed because they are the only facility in West Michigan that has an infant physical therapy program. I feel horrible going to MFB, Wyatt is healthy and many of the kids who are there have Spina Bifida, Cerebral Palsy or Down's Syndrome.  I guess I just need to see it as reminder to thank God that Wyatt is healthy and to stop complaining that we have to do PT because all of those children's parents would love to be there for a simple neck tilt.

We went to physical therapy for the first time about a month ago. Ms. Allison gave us exercises to do at home with the hope that we could cure it within a month. We went back yesterday to see our progress and she recommended that we start coming every week for the next 12 weeks. Then in a couple of weeks they will do a scan of Wyatt's head to determine if he needs a helmet. I am pretty sure he is going to end up needing to wear a helmet. His ears are not symmetrical, Ms. Allison ensures me that this can be fixed. I am just afraid that it won't and kids will make fun of him.

First Day of Work & Daycare!

Well unfortunately my maternity leave had to come to an end. Wyatt absolutely loves daycare and his teacher Ms. Rachel but he hates waking up in the morning to go. I am hoping after a couple more weeks, he will get use to it but it breaks my heart to pull him out of bed every morning. I am enjoying being back at work, I loved being at home with Wyatt for 12 weeks but being a stay-at-home mom is not for me. My role at work has been completely transformed and I am really loving it. I was super nervous at first but it is definitely a good change.
