Terrible Twos

Crib Move II

Wyatt’s 6 Month

Today was Wyatt’s 6 month checkup. Everything seems to be going fine with him. He was 16lbs 10oz and was 26.5 inches long. He is sitting pretty well on his own now, although he still isn’t rolling over. It’s amazing how fast things change. It was only a year ago and Noah was at this [...]

Crib Move

When both our sons were younger they suffered from acid reflux. It was especially bad if they slept on their back. To alleviate it we had them sleep sitting in their car seat. Now its time for Wyatt to move into his crib since he is getting to big for the infant car seat. This [...]
