Halloween!

Our Halloween we just hung out at home with some friends and handed out candy to trick-or-treaters. Wyatt did really good in his costume, I thought for sure he would hate the hat and pull off all the ribbon that I spent so much time attaching to it, but he didn't. I wanted Nick to dress up as the scarecrow or tin man, but he didn't want to do it. I know he would have if we would have gone somewhere. I actually made Wyatt's and my costume. I was pretty proud of Wyatt's but could not have done it without my mom. Thanks Mom!
I don't know how you all feel about this, but there was one thing I found interesting when handing out candy. We had quite a few parents come trick-or-treating. I don't mean just coming with their kids and standing at the bottom of the stairs to watch. I mean actually coming up to the door and taking candy. They weren't even dressed up, all they had was a pillow case or a little pumpkin pale. This was a common occurrence that I found to be a little weird. I can't wait for next halloween when Wyatt will be old enough to do a little trick-or-treating of his own!

Hillman Family Pics

Here are some of our family pictures that were taken by Jason West about a week ago. It was so cold the day we did it! About 30 degrees and really windy. We toughed it out though and got some good pics outside.

Update...Finally

It has been too long since I updated! Not too much is new, Wyatt and I got back to Idaho about a month and a half ago. We have been spending a lot of time with my family and it has been soooooo nice. I love being home, now if only Nick were here it would be perfect. About 3 weeks ago, I flew back to Florida and Nick and I along with a bunch of Nick's co-workers went on a cruise to the Bahamas. It was a lot of fun and a well needed vacation. My mom and sister Britany watched Wyatt for us, and it was so nice to have alone time with Nick. Nick gets home in just over two weeks and I can't wait. It will be almost two months that he hasn't seen Wyatt, and oh how he has changed. Wyatt is now 7 months old! I can't believe how fast time flies! He is learning so much. I could just sit and watch him for minutes! He smiles and laughs all the time, he loves people and will go to anyone, which is nice, he sits up really well, is trying to learn to crawl, and babbles all the time. He says mamamamama a lot, so now I'm just waiting for him to learn to associate that with me. He is such a tough baby too, he will fall over, bonk his head, hit himself in the face with a toy, ect. and he never cries. He hadn't been sleeping very well the last couple weeks, I finally took him into the doctor last week and found out he had a ear and sinus infection. I was so surprised cuz he hadn't been fussy at all, but now he is doing so good at night waking up only once! YAY! I love him so much and am so blessed to have such an easy going, chill baby. Jason West took some pics of Wyatt the other day, so I figured I had to post some of those and also some pictures of what we've been up to. I know it's kind of a lot!

Six Months Old!

I can't believe it... my baby is now six months old! How time flies. It seems like just yesterday we brought our little alien home, and now he has to be the cutest baby boy I've ever seen. I'm so grateful for my little man, he is such a sweet baby. He seems to learn something new everyday. He can now sit up, until he gets excited and tumbles over, talks and laughs all day, rolls/squirms all over the room, and is starting to take steps when he stands! I think he's going to be an early walker, YIKES! I love my little Wy Guy!!!

Nana and Gramps!

Nick's parents flew in from DC to spend the weekend with us. It was so fun to see them. We went to famous Sanibel Island, Fort Myers beach, and did a lot of eating! Wyatt had a great time with his Gramps and Nana. We love them so much, and since they live in Virginia we don't get to see them much. It was by far the best part of our summer.

The Life of Wyatt

Here are just a few recent pictures of Wyatt. One night last week while I wasn't looking Nick gave Wyatt some fruit roll up. He loved it as you can see. I'm sure he will have my sweet tooth. Then tonight when we were getting Wyatt in his jammies his shirt got stuck on his head. It was so cute so we had to take some pictures.

Fourth of July!

Our Fourth of July wasn't too exciting, but at least I got to spend it with my two favorite boys, Nick and Wyatt.  There is a big toll bridge right by our apartment and they closed down the whole bridge and have booths and fireworks. Nick worked all day and did AWESOME! When he got home we all got ready, walked to the bridge with our friends/Nick's coworkers, and watched the fireworks there.  It was fun and I'm pretty sure Wyatt liked all the colors of the fireworks!

Wyatt's Newest Development!

The other morning Wyatt was laying in bed with Nick and I.  He was babbling and spitting like he does every morning, he suddenly became quiet.  When I looked over, he had his legs in the air and was studying his feet.  He then decided to try and grab them, the look on his face was priceless when he realized they were his own feet!  It was so funny.  After that he would not let go of them, he tried to pull them down to suck on his toes, but sadly he has my flexibility and it wasn't happening.  Now playing with his feet is his new favorite thing.  I LOVE being a mom!  Seeing all of Wyatt's new developments is the best thing I could ever ask for. To see him growing and learning so much so fast is amazing.  I am so blessed to have such a beautiful wonderful baby.  

A Day at the Beach!

Finally, after being in Florida for a month, we decided to go to the beach for the first time.  It is only a 15 minute drive, but we hadn't made the time to go until yesterday.  It was a lot of fun.  We didn't stay for very long because it is so hot, but Wyatt seemed to enjoy the experience.
I've been looking everywhere for a cute hat for Wyatt, but this is all I could find.  It's a little big, and as you can see it didn't stay on for any of the other pictures.
I'm guessing Wyatt liked the taste of salt because he sucked on his hands the whole time.  We tried to keep his hands out of the water, but he liked splashing.
Nick is such a good dad, and Wyatt loves his daddy.  As you can see Nick has a very sexy farmers tan.  It just goes to show how hard working he is.
The boys had fun with Wyatt as usual.  They use him to pick up girls.  Wyatt is a total Babe Magnet!
Wyatt was exhausted after a couple of hours, so we took a quick nap before heading home.  It was a good day!

Jason West Photography!

I would just like to let everyone know that my favorite photographer now has his own website and is expanding his photography career! Needless to say he is AMAZING!  He has done my engagement pics, family pics, baby pics, etc. And they always turn out fantastic. Take a little time and check out his website www.jasonwestphotography.com. You will not be disappointed.  We love you Jason!

Barf!!

One of Wyatt's favorite things is when I lift him up in the air over my head then bring him down and bonk foreheads.  I can always get a laugh out of him, it is so cute.  So the other day we were playing this game and he was laughing hysterically.  This went on for about 10 minutes.  My arms were getting tired but when I set him down he started fussing so I figured he wanted to keep going.  I lifted him up one last time, brought him down to my forehead, and started laughing with him.  My mouth was wide open and suddenly felt a bunch of spit up go in my mouth and down my throat.  Ewwww!!!!! Quickly, I set Wyatt down on my lap just as I felt myself starting to throw up.  I tried to hold it in so I didn't barf all over my son, but I couldn't.  Needless to say a combination of our throw up ended up  all over us.  It was sooooo gross.  It was all over my clothes, down my shirt, and puddled right on Wyatt's chest.  Of course it didn't even phase Wyatt, he just smiled and kept laughing.  I've always thought spit up must not taste as bad as regular throw up because whenever he spits up he acts like nothing happened.  Let me tell you, spit up tastes just as bad as throw up.  I don't know how babies handle it. Nick didn't have the pleasure of witnessing this disaster, but he along with everyone else, has found it pretty comical.

Wyatt's First Swim

We went swimming at the pool today for the first time.  I was afraid Wyatt would not like being in the water, but he seemed to enjoy it. The only bad thing... I haven't found baby swimmer diapers so his diaper was completely full of water.  It was a mess and weighed about 3 pounds.

Update

I don't really have anything new or exciting going on.  But Jason told me I need to update and add more pictures.  So Jason this is for you.  Wyatt doesn't usually sleep naked but he peed all over himself before his nap.  Then fell asleep before I could get clean clothes on him.  He looked so precious so I had to take some pictures.  We are doing well.  Nick is working really hard.  I see him maybe 3 hours a day.  It is hard but "short term pain, long term gain."    

Wyatt and I just hang out everyday.  We watch TV, read books, talk, practice rolling over, sitting up, etc.  We go on a lot of walks even though Wyatt doesn't like being outside too long because of the heat and humidity.  We have a good time, although I do miss all my friends and family.  The people here are a lot nicer than the people in Miami or DC, most of them are older but very friendly.  Yesterday Wyatt and I walked to the grocery store.  This women came up to look and Wyatt and said, "is it a girl?"  Are you kidding 

me!  He's in a blue outfit, a blue paci, and his blue stroller.  This is 

not the first time I've been asked that since I've been here.  I've never understood how some people can have such a hard time telling if a baby is a boy or girl.  I personally think Wyatt looks like a boy.

Yesterday, Nick picked up a snake for one of the reps and brought it to our apartment.  I am not much of a snake person, but it was kind of cool.  The boys were putting it next to Wyatt.  Which I did not approve of, but Wyatt seemed to like it.  He would talk and giggle whenever they put it next to him.  I guess it was a good practice run for when he gets older and is into all that stuff.  Good thing that is a few years down the road.
