Wyatt went home from the hospital on Sunday morning.  He slept most of the first day and got up at reasonable times for night feedings. 


 Chloe tries to help - she loves to remove his hats and always wants to stuff a pacifier in his mouth.  What a great big sis!

Wyatt's First Day



Wyatt snoozed much of the day while his family and friends celebrated his good looks and health.  Chloe was quiet at first around him, but soon seemed quite excited about baby brother.  She bragged to the nurse that she had a new baby brother.  After her mom and dad left for the hospital this morning she asked questions about how they would get Wyatt at the hospital when he was in her moma's tummy.  When I explained that the doctors would help, she added with pride, "so will my daddy!"  She did not like Wyatt wearing a hat and much like she does with her babydolls, she continued to remove it. 

"Wyatt is built like a linebacker" was a remark heard in the delivery room.  The adjective "compact" was used by several others.  He has broad shoulders and thick legs and feet.  His mom says his fingernails look like Chloe's, but neither does his hair or eyelashes.
This was a wonderful day for all of us!!  Check out the videos.


What a beautiful and blessed family!

Chloe Selects the best Pumpkin



Chloe had a blast at the shower for Wyatt. She was especially glad to see her friend Lucca!  Afterward she told us on the phone that they were going to keep Wyatt!!  Not sure what the other option was ...but glad she feels that way!

 Wyatt's Grammie, aunts and cousins celeberated his expected arrival.



And of course, Chloe was interested in all the gifts that Wyatt will share with her.

Ready or Not Here He Comes!

Wyatt, Chloe's baby brother is due in 12 days. The nursery is now blue with new furnishings and is ready for a sweet little boy.  Chloe is thrilled with his blankets and stuffed toys and can be found playing in his room.  She is very convinced that he will share all his gifts and toys with her and she will be a good big sis to him.

For awhile, Chloe will be sharing her blog with Wyatt...he'll get his own later.  Please stay tuned to see the first pics of him!

Tough Love

Sometimes Chloe takes very good care of her babies and other times she prepares them for the tough world.  One afternoon, she "vroomed her!" (her words)  She gave the buggy a shove and watched it roll and fall over. After a good laugh, she apologized to the baby.  Then did it again.



At the Races

 Chloe and Pearl watch the Weiner Races.  Retta didn't place this year as she ran out of bounds instead of toward Chloe, who was at the finish line with a squeaky toy.

Moving to a Big Girl Room



Chloe loves her new room and was glad to relinquish the nursery to baby brother.   Sleeping in the big bed allows her to have lots of snuggle room.                    Looks like Retta found a new spot for a nap!

Chloe Stays Busy

Sawyer came to visit and Chloe was very attentative.  When Sawyer made a sound, Chloe pushed the pacifier or a bottle in her mouth.  This could be great practice for helping her new baby brother when he arrives.  Aunt Debi surprised her with new cool bird wings which give her fly power!  She couldn't hide her excitement for the Halloween stickers she received in the mail and look at her concentrating in gymnastics!


Princess Piggy
Time Out - wouldn't say I'm sorry.



Purple Princess

Chloe got to spend the weekend with Grandad and decided to be the Purple Princess the entire time.  She used her magic wand to "poof" him into feeling better.  Poor Vern-she was poofed into a fruit loop!  She helped Grandad pick up the newspapers each morning.

Berd Bear


Chloe snuggles with her Berd Bear sent from Armenia.  It was hand made by women in Berd who are part of a Peace Corp project.  http://www.armenianweekly.com/2012/06/27/how-an-army-of-bears-are-saving-a-town/  (Please notice the bandaid as Chloe insisted it be in the picture!)


Daddy's Birthday


Chloe insisted they wear the birthday hats for Dad!
