BRIGHAM

These pictures were taken When Brigham was 6 1/2 weeks. All 3 of my kids went bald on top at 4 weeks old, and then at about 8 weeks, their hair starts to grow back. So they are always bald for their blessing pictures.

Brigham's Blessing

We had Brigham's blessing on 10-10-10.
After his blessing we had every one over for a lunch. I was so busy eating and visiting, that I didn't even think to take any pictures of those who came. bummer.
Later that night, after every one left. My sister Lindsey remind me to take pictures. So here are a few.
Brigham with his big eyes!

I love his little feet.

He wore Jaden's blessing outfit. Jaden was born 2 lbs bigger then Brigs, so this outfit is kinda big on him, but it worked.

I still can't get over his big blue eyes

Happy cousins

Family of 5
Thanks to all the family that came and made our day special.

Abbey: "The doctor did a good job making Brigham cute, and Heavenly Father."

Abbey: "mom, can you promise that we can have a girl baby next time?"
Me: "No, I can't promise. I hope we will, but it is up to Heavenly Father. He decides what baby we will have."
Abbey: "well, I know he will make it a girl."
Me: "How do you know?"
Abbey: "He can hear us talk. He is in the ceiling."

A look at the Wyatt family

Baby Brigs

Jaden never wanted to hold Brigham, and then one day out of the blue he climbed on the couch, held out his hands and asked to hold baby.

Brigham's first bath at home. Not liking it too well.

Jaden in his hut.

a couple weeks ago, we were at my parents house for Sunday dinner and the whole canyon where they live got evacuated because of this fire. We left and went down to my sisters house abut 4 miles away. My parents were evacuated for 3 days. This is a picture of the fire from my sister's house.

A Wyatt Update

Robby and I are trying to adjust to 3 kids.
It hasn't been too hard.
I have had my bad days, (some really bad, hard days) but mostly good days.
I think what makes it so hard to adjust is the lack of sleep. If we could get sleep, it would help a ton!
Brigham has really bad acid reflux, so if he lays down, he wakes up gaging, choking or is miserable because it burns. So he cries a lot.
He won't, or can't sleep in his crib laying down. We have tried putting a wedge in his crib, but he ends up sliding down, so that doesn't help. I've thought of having him sleep in his swing or car seat because it slants, but his head usually falls over. So all we can do is hold him all night while he sleeps. Robby does most of the holding because he sleeps better then I do, reclined on the couch. I get up to feed him, and have slept with him too.
We have Brigham taking prevacid and Mylanta. I think they help a little, but not too much. I feel bad for him. When he cries, you can tell he hurts. He eats a lot because it sooths him. That is bad for me, because I spend most of my days on the couch feeding him, or trying to comfort him. Because of his constant feeding and comforting, I have very little time for house work, or time for Abbey and Jaden. That part is hard. I feel bad for them, and a messy house makes me in a bad mood. So that is hard. But I know things will get easier and better in a few months.
I love Brigham, he really is a good little baby, he is so cute and reminds me of a little frog.
He looks different then Abbey and Jaden.
I can't wait to see what he looks like in a few months and see his little personality.
On October 1st he turned 1 month old. He now weighs as much as Abbey did at birth. 9 and a half pounds.
Both kids are really good with him.
Jaden has handled a new baby really well. He only gets jealous here and there.
Abbey the other day(on one of my few REAL bad days) took Brigham out of his swing (while I was in the shower) and dropped him on our hard floor. That freaked me out, but luckily he is ok.
Jaden is seeming like a big boy these days.
He is trying to talk more, and put words together.
He knows his colors now.
I try to teach him numbers and letters, but he shows no interest in learning them.
He likes sitting on his potty, but not interested in actually using it. But all will come in time.
He LOVES gymnastics and he is doing really well at it. He has come a long way and has learned to listen well and follow directions.
Abbey is still in dance. I think she likes gymnastics more and does better at it, but for some reason wants to continue doing dance.
She has 2 Halloween dance performances coming up.
She also goes to preschool two days a week for 2 hours a day. she really likes it.
People always talk about the terrible 2's, but I really didn't have terrible 2's with Abbey, but I sure have the terrible 4's with her. Holy cow! she has such a bad attitude these days with tantrums, baby talk, sassing, and even some lying. It makes me sad that such a sweet girl has become so hard these days.

p.s. the breast feeding has become much easier.
