Just wanna share a favorite...

Happy Birthday Wyatt!

I miss nursing.

Some days I'm glad we are doing bottles now, but most of the time, I miss nursing.

POTD: (Feb 28) Playing outside!

We had a fun day outside in the GORGEOUS spring weather we are having. Of course, he's bundled in this picture because we are in the shade... and he's wearing a hat because the ENT said to keep the wind out of his ears for about a month. So he looks like it's cold outside, but it's not really cold! Not only did he explore some dirt and rocks, we test-drove his new swing! Now he can swing outside with the big kids! He did fantastic and had a really good time.

POTD: (Feb 27) Mama's girl

I was lucky enough to take some family pictures for my friend, Sarah! This one is a favorite. Little Miss M was such a good sport and let me take a ton of pictures of her! She's just beautiful and sweet! At this point, she was tuckered out and ready for some quality time with her blanket & crib. I love this picture and I feel like it tells a story. Thoughts? Feedback?

POTD: our little trooper (& flirt)

Waiting for surgery--how adorable is that little gown?

In the recovery room!

Today Wyatt had to get tubes in his ears. He was a super star! He flirted with all the nurses, played with blown up rubber gloves, laughed at the antics of all the nurses and doctors who came to talk to us prior to the surgery. He was all grins and giggles. He did much better than I anticipated--I expected him to be throwing a fit since he didn't get to have breakfast. However, there were so many people there to wave and smile at him that food was none of his concern!

They took him back to the OR and he was perfectly content. It was weird to watch them just walk away with my son. He looked at me with just a bit of hesitation when the nurse came to get him. She reached for him and he buried his face into my chest and I didn't cry! I just played a game with him to pass him over and he grinned at her and did great. He looked at me and I smiled and waved and he went on out without so much as a peep!!

It didn't take long and the doc was back in the waiting room with me telling me Wyatt did great! He hung out in recovery for about 20 minutes before I was allowed to go to him. He was so glad to see me, but still no tears! He was hungry and clingy, but still happy! He was still flirting with the nurses. We were headed out of the hospital parking lot by 8:45 this morning!

He's a champ and doing great all day! He's been a bit fussy and a bit clingy. He's still rubbing on ear quite a bit. We'll see how tomorrow is and hopefully he's back to his old self!

POTD: Alaska goodies!

This is Sunday's POTD... I'm so behind. But, I promise that I took it on Sunday.

I am part of a fantastic group of online spouses of Military Aviators. We are a small group and periodically we have a secret swap partner. My partner is stationed in Alaska and she sent me a wonderful box of goodies. Here is just a little sample of what she sent!
