Liberty (3) Henry (4 months)
We took both kiddos for their Dr. well-visits and came home with these stats:
Henry: 15 pounds and 27 inches - - 97% in height and 46% in weight.
Liberty: 34.8 pounds and 40 inches - - 96% in height and 86% in weight.
*readers beware, annoying mommy bragging to follow...
In other milestone news Henry is enjoying tummytime, grabs at toys and puts them in his mouth and is the smiliest/laughiest boy on the planet. He rolls and drools. He naps 2-4 times a day (usually 3 - 9am, 1:30pm and a snooze during dinner or in between those big 2 hour naps). We are trying to consistently get him to nap in his crib but it's touch and go. Some days he does, and some days we give up and put him in the swing. He still sleeps 7:30pm to 6:30am with the occasional wake up at 4am to cutely coo like a bird until I pop a binky in his mouth because I am not a nice mommy at 4am. We talk daily about wanting to move him to his room. He loves bathtime with Liberty, the TV, Sophie the Giraffe and when Daddy makes him dance to techno music.
Liberty is so bright. Her vocabulary is insane and she is a sponge for learning new things (dog breeds, types of rocks, flowers, presidents, every name of all my friends, and their husbands and babies and dogs and everyone's favorite color and favorite princess...) She knows simple addition/subtraction and can count to 25 but her real love is letters. She's known the sounds of the alphabet for over a year and she can tell us what almost any word starts and ends with and loves figuring out what is also in the word (spelling). She can write her name and mommy. She can sound out simple words. She CANNOT rhyme worth a damn and she is the most uncoordinated kid ever (she has just figured out a 3 wheeled scooter). She doesn't like scary things (this includes villains, tall slides/roller coasters, alligators, etc). She loves cats, the color blue (royal blue to be precise, followed by green, then pink, then purple), princesses (Cinderella), her cat blankie named StrawberryRose, arts & crafts, Henry and bratwurst. She asks me for a baby sister almost every day. "When you are pregnant some other time can we get a girl baby with a blue and green dress? That would be adorable. But. You never know what you are going to get, a girl baby or a boy baby. It's a mystery." I hear this speech often. Naps 2 hours a day, wonder how long this blessing will last...

Henry is 1 MONTH!
Highs: There is nothing like a sleeping newborn on your chest. He is super cute. Cuter than I expected. lol. Liberty loves Henry WAY more than I thought was possible. She tries to soothe him, is sooo gentle and lovingly touches him, invites him to do things like lay on his playmat or do tummy time, brings him toys/blankets, tries to problem solve his fussiness ("maybe he has a blue line on his diaper mommy? I can go get a clean fresh diaper for him! Maybe he needs his binky? A bottle? Mommy, he needs a grown up to hold him! Henry, go back to sleep buddy boy.") I didn't think she'd be so PROUD to have a baby brother - telling strangers his full name "Henry James Wyatt" and all the things he does.
Lows: He doesn't cry at night but the sleep stretches are still short - 2.5 hours usually. But they are increasing and we are getting more like 4 hour stretches now, with the occasional 5 and ONCE 6 hour. I have hope more sleep is on the horizon soon. And, it is really hard to get out of the house with 2 kids. I knew this was going to be the case, but between getting 3 people dressed (and fed would be nice too), making sure a diaperbag has everything we may need, making a bottle to take, and remembering a jacket for Libs...it takes like 30 mins to prep and pack up...so no quick runs to Target, the Coffee Shop or even the park. We are inside a lot. I also do not like Winter.
A few notes to remember about my baby boy... (for my own memory really, sorry if TMI)
...you are not a sleeping champion like your sister was...yet.
...you are big. 9 lbs 2oz at birth - 11 lbs 5oz at 1 month! (Libs was 10 4) and 22.75 inches long (Libs was 23). So we have another 95%er in the works.
...your mommy didn't have enough milk to keep breast feeding but I tried for a month.
...you hated one boob and loved the other (it really was quite funny).
...you like to have your head and face touched.
...you have awesome wizard eyebrows.
...you hate to have wet diapers. We go through diapers like crazy.
...you smiled early and smile often.
...your big sister has been nothing but nice to you. This may change, but I think it's a small miracle that she has done nothing but love on you for 30+days straight. She also likes to call you "buddy boy" and "Henry my baby".
Photoshoot when I remembered Henry turned 1 month a few days ago and I better take a picture!

18 months old
Recap of what our very tall 1.5 year old is up to these days...
Weight: 28lbs 2 oz, Height: 35.5 inches according to Dr. (99.9%) we think she's 35 inches (99.6). She is as tall as an average 30 month old. 3T in clothes.
Sleeps 7:45pm-7:30am. New to 1 nap: 12:45-3pm.
Hobbies: Pointing out every airplane, bike rides, coloring and stickers.
Says about 40 words, 12 of which a stranger could recognize.
Still calls all babies "mama". LOL I cannot figure this out. Baby was MY third word.
Has a love of lollypops, popsicles and the ability to DIP anything (in ketchup, ranch, italian)
Is DJ TRAK_TOR's biggest fan. Uncle Andy mixes her custom beats.
REALLY loves her weekly music class with Miss Colleen she calls "teacher".
Favorite movies: Milo & Otis and BABIES
Favorite books lately: "If you give a mouse a cookie..." and all the others in that series and Eric Carle books like "Brown Bear". And Gyo Fujikawa books like Baby Animals.
ELMO IS HER #1
BUTTERFLIES are her #2
BABY DOLLS/STUFFED ANIMALS (like beanie babies) are her #3
Tells me almost every times she goes potty in her diaper...so we are giving early potty training a shot here soon. She's used her potty a few times (by luck I'm sure).
Requests to give Cheetah Girl a cat treat at least 5 times a day.
If you ask her to say Flamingo or Music class it sounds like she says "Nicki Minaj". Go figure.
Video (6 min) of her doing some of her animal sounds and words:
*all the chest thumping is her signing "gorilla"
*when she gets distracted and runs away and asks me to pick her up that is because I asked her to say "Trash truck" and she thinks we need to run outside fast to catch the trash truck like we usually do.
*sweet dancing at 4:50

She Runs.
Plays hide and seek - she likes to be the seeker.
She has so many preference. You offer her milk, she shakes her head no, you offer her water she nods her head yes. You get a sippy cup and she shakes her head no, you pick up a different sippy cup with a straw, she shakes her head yes. And then there is the books she'd prefer to be reading...
She knows so many animal sounds and points out so many body parts.
Enjoys panting like a dog.
Best words used all the time: mama, dada, water, up, Elmo
Lots of words in the works: book, ball, cat, milk...
More signs: owie, please, bike, flying (for butterflys, bumblebees, etc)
Uses a plate and (sometimes) utensils now.
Calls all babies "mama" - ?? hahahaha
Likes doing puzzles and finding objects in pictures.
Loves a good dance party.
Into all things girl grooming, including brushing hair, chapstick, deodorant, jewelry, lotion, etc.
Stirs up a mean cup of tea.
Speaks her own gibberish. Especially on her phone (aka calculator).

26.7 pounds - (90%) -
34 inches - (99.8%) - the size of a 2 year old. She'd be the 3rd tallest out of 1,000 girls her age.

9 month old checkup
9 months old. Notes for our shrine to Liberty aka baby book:
- 22 pounds 12 ounces
- 30 inches long
- signs "more"
- dances (bobs up and down while standing) to music.
- favorite song: Hot Dog from the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
- still won't say mama
- responds to "No" (I think it's amazing actually how babies know what No means!)
- wears 12-18 month clothes
- crawls FAST and cruises along all walls/furniture
- walks with push-wagon
- sleeps 7:30-7:30, 2 naps (1.5 hours and 45 min)
- loves books - especially touch-and-feel and lift-the-flap
We love her little personality. She is getting to be a more independent eater - she rips off her bib when she is done, grabs the spoon, only really wants to feed herself finger foods. She's SO EXCITABLE! If you just say "I'm going to get you" she will squeal so loud and start crawling to be chased. She flap her arms and hurries over to you when you ask her "do you want to read this book"?

1 month old!
Liberty went for her 1 month checkup and is doing great. She now weighs 10 pounds 4 ounces and is in the 95th percentile for her height at 23 inches already. I think her hair gets more red with each passing day! We've gotten a peek at a few smiles which should be "for real" very soon. She is a good baby with a big appetite (sad for mommy with a low supply). It was so wonderful to experience my first Mother's Day holiday with Liberty as a daughter and the most supportive husband in the world. Here are some pictures of our little 1 month old!
