Wyatt's One Week

It's hard to believe that Wyatt is a week old today. Randy and I, normally scheduled and in a great routine, are completely confused about days and times. Today felt sort of normal and sort of like a Sunday. Randy went to church and then we had dinner at my parents followed by Wyatt's first walk in the stroller. Randy is home for one more week, and then we'll get to a new kind of normal.

My brother and family came down from Minnesota this week to meet Wyatt, and it's been so good to see them and to introduce Wyatt to his whole family...at least on the Yoder side. At the end of the month he'll meet his aunt, uncle, and cousin from Phoenix.

Wyatt with his grandpa and cousin Jack.


Wyatt got to spend time with all of his cousins this weekend. Here he is with Jack, Macie, Kaitlin, and Ella. The next time they're all together there will be another new cousin in the picture! We're excited for Nuggey to get here in July...to bad he/she lives in MN with Jack and Ella. I'm sure Nuggey and Wyatt would be good buddies.

Like I said, Wyatt got his first walk with Mom & Dad today. It finally quit raining and was warm enough to take him out. I'm so glad he's a spring baby so we can enjoy the summer together on plenty of walks.

Tomorrow morning we take him in to be weighed. On Thursday he was down to 7 lbs. 14 oz, meaning he had lost 10% of his birth weight, the maximum a newborn should lose. Since Thursday he's definitely figured out this eating and pooping thing, and I think I can see him grow.

And one more just because he's SO cute! And awake...I gotta run.

Love the pics - thanks for the update, my dear! I'm glad Jeff, Lindsay and the kiddos made it down safely. We were running about yesterday at church and didn't get to see them in all of the madness.
I'm glad you were able to break out the stroller! :)
In a few (hopefully short) months, I'll join you for mommy/baby walks!! Yipee!
Hope you're doing well. Talk to you soon!

Happy one week Wyatt!! Did you love the stroller?? :-) It'll get a LOT of use from you guys, I'm sure! How about "stroller garage-saling" instead of "bike-saling?"
