Wyatt's first Thanksgiving

We just celebrated Wyatt's first Thanksgiving and it was great! We were able to share it with both sets of Grandparents in Bandera, TX.  My parents flew in from Miami and stayed with us for 12 days enjoying tons of time with their grandson.

On turkey day, in addition to both sets of grandparents, Lizzy's sister flew in from Seattle, her aunt and grandmother (Wyatt's great-grandmother) drove up from Eagle Pass and Lizzy's aunt, uncle and cousin also flew in from around the country.

It was quite the event.

Has it been 3 months already???

I can't believe it has been 3 months since our little man has graced us with his presence. Since my last update 4 weeks ago, much has happened...

Wyatt was diagnosed with Neutropenia (more on that in a second), he is smiling all the time and is telling us all about his day using wonderful sounds, and is now 11 pounds! Champion eater like his daddy!!

For those of us that aren't familiar with neutropenia, it's a condition where newborns don't produce enough of a particular type of white blood cells in order to fight infection. So what that meant for Wyatt, was that we couldn't give him his needed vaccinations until we saw a specialist who had to draw blood from a vein, and give us the ok. I'm not sure which was worse, the worry of finding out his results or watching a crappy nurse fail miserably trying to draw blood from his little arm.

I'm happy to say that after visiting an endocrinologist, the test results showed that he was healthy and able to get his vaccines.

As he continues to grow, Lizzy and I are able to see a new emotion, reaction or expression almost daily.
