Make Room for the Little People
It has been WAY too long since I have posted on here. I have meant to just about every day, but have been sidetracked as the Bargain Sale is fast approaching & I am up to my ears in financials (as the Business Manager - what have I gotten myself into!!??)
Lots has been happening lately, but I had to share a few photos from tonight. Seth, Wyatt & I went to the Fall Festival at our church, which was a lot of fun. There were tons of family, even more kids & homemade chili, which was delicious!

Towards the end of the evening, they announced that there would be a balloon guy & a magic show for the kids. Seth & I thought we would check it out, and just see what Wyatt thought. We enter a Sunday School room to find the "clown" (no make-up) making balloon animals for all the kids. Without warning, Wyatt pulled away from our hands & charged right up to the front of the crowd. It was hilarious to watch - he was totally intrigued by the balloon shapes this guy was making. After waiting patiently for 5-10 minutes (without even TOUCHING all the tempting things hanging out of this balloon guy's bag!!) he leaned over to Wyatt & gave him a mouse!

Mom's Morning Out
Wyatt attended his first day of Parent's Morning Out today at McMannen United Methodist Church. It couldn't be more convenient, just about a half mile or so down the street. I managed to keep myself busy for the 3 hours he was there from 9:00 - 12:00 (and will be once a week), but I will admit that it was a little tough saying goodbye to him - harder for me than him. As soon as we got there, he said "DOWN" and ran over to the first colorful plastic toy he could get his grips on! I promised myself that I would get a picture of him on his "first day of school" - not the best shot, but had to snap one before we left the house!

Stepping Out
I wish I had a video camera with me yesterday. Wyatt is slowly starting to become one of those children that people refer to as "wide open." Our day started with storytime at the local library with Wyatt's aunt Carrie & cousin Lily. He gets so excited when we walk in the door & see Lily, and the excitement level only increases from there. Last week, much to my shock, he took off walking across the floor of the library & ever since has been getting better & better about walking. It was while we were singing "Baa, Baa Black Sheep" (a personal fav of his) and the teacher was a holding a puppet - he was just so focused on getting to that puppet to rip it off her hand, that he forgot about crawling I guess... So here we are at the library this week, and it is pretty much a free for all in there anyway. Wyatt is crawling around the room, only to stop every few feet, raise high up on his knees & screech with delight - people were really chuckling, as was I. Then, he would crawl himself over to another unsuspecting tiny tot and begin to try to pull himself up on that child, using them as a way to try & stand. Of course, this resulted in just a pile of toddlers and a little frustration on his part.
Through all this I wondered, will I ever get to hold my sweet little boy again? The closer we get to totally walking, the more he wants to gets down & do things on his own. Although he is inching his way towards 'back breaking' weights for mommy, I do still like to cuddle with him every now & then...

What Little Boys Are Made Of...
Had to post just a sneak peek from the photo shoot my friend Jennifer Haygood did for us the other day in Duke Gardens. I knew she would be the perfect photographer for the job, as I have always been impressed by her work. This was a favorite so far...

Dog Days of Summer
Lately Wyatt has just fallen in love with our almost 9 year old beagle Milo. Many of you know Milo, and know that he can often be anything but a sweet puppy. I will admit - he is spoiled rotten, and he was my "baby" before Wyatt. He only listens to me, and can often become a bit aggressive for a 16 pound dog. Case in point, this is what he looked like after fighting our Lab for a toy in the front yard - he was relentless (and this is NOT the first time this has happened)
However, last night I could not resist this shot of Milo & Wyatt. They are buddies because Milo loves to eat, and Wyatt will always throw him scraps. After finishing his PB&J last night, Wyatt was just sharing as usual :)

Altitude 8,500 feet
Day 2 of our recent trip & we are headed to the peak on the left. We actually passed between these two peaks (if you click on the picture to blow up, you can actually see the trail), but someone suggested we make the extra climb to the top, and boy was it worth it! Best view of the entire 35 mile hike.
I May Not Walk
But MAN OH MAN do I talk! This little man is definitly a Wehmann!! I recently posted some of Wyatt's words, and they have increased even since then - he has gotten quite good at repeating things I name for him, even if they are the very, very toddler version (We call the "fan" the "fee") He has now even started to create a few phrases. Some of them are easy to understand, and some Seth & I just look at each other with puzzled looks.
The other morning, Wyatt & I were having breakfast. This little monkey eats a banana every morning, so I had my knife out cutting his banana. After I set it down, he was furiously pointing at it repeating "No, dat pop! No, dat pop!" After about a minute of this serious warning he was trying to convey, I realized that in Wyatt language he was saying "No, that's sharp!" When I repeated this back to him, he seemed so pleased to be able to communicate this important message to me ;)

Over Committed
So, I started this blog when I was pregnant & maybe trying to kill time at my job (which I believe they call "short timers syndrome" :)) I was so enthused about keeping it up to date, and my family loved getting to see all the pregnant photos & hear about "baby" Jernigan.
Fast forward to a year & a half later & I am not much better at keeping this thang updated. My other mommy friend Abby has such an awesome blog, and I wish that I could keep up with mine the same way. I suppose since almost all of my friends & family are close by, it's not a necessary that I keep mine so up-to-date. But it seems like "update blog" looms on my to-do list each day. It's probably the one thing on my daily to-do list that I WANT to do, rather than unload the dishwasher (which seems to happen 30 times a day with a house full of plastic sippy cups & containers), vacuum or do laundry.
I sat down tonight & decided to write this post though to think about WHY I can't get this done more often. After first looking through my email, it suddenly dawned on me - I am over committed, with a capital "O." I guess I have a problem saying no, but here are the things I am currently involved in:
1) Advertising Sales part-time at Chapel Hill Magazine & Durham Magazine
2) Business Manager of the Junior League of Durham & Orange Counties annual fundraiser, the Bargain Sale
3) Acquisitions Committee member for the Caring House Gala
4) Partner in Lily & Wyatt, my company with my sister
On top of all of this, I have to find time to stay home with my almost 14 month old (while he learns to walk) & keep him busy - all while I cook & keep the house clean. Now listen - I am NOT complaining, just merely reminding myself why I feel a bit frazzled at the end of a day and that I need to learn to say "no" more often. I wouldn't trade my life for anything, but it does make me laugh how I used to think about being a SAHM & all of the projects & things I would get done...I do have my moments, like when I made this for Wyatt in two days:
But what you don't know is that I STILL don't have the button holes done, and I started two more that are sitting on my sewing machine :)

I'd Like to Be Heard
Lately Wyatt really has his own opinion of things, and he tries very hard to express to me his needs & wants. We have had a constant battle of the "no-no's" lately and just like I have read in tons of books, it is one of his favorite words.
Speaking of favorite words & "no-no's", one of Wyatt's new personal favorites is the word "poop." It is actually great though, because he will say it right after he has done one, so no need to do the dreaded smell test. However, he now has quite an interest in his poop diapers. He wants to see them after I remove them (yuck), and then when I wrap them up in a bag, he thinks it is some sort of play toy. He got very mad this morning when I refused to let him play with one - here he is say "no, no, no" and crying. I mean, child - we have hundreds of toys & you want to play with a bag of poop!!?? I had to laugh to myself.
We have also been reading a lot lately. We started this when Wyatt was really young - probably about 3 months old, we would lay him on a blanket in his room at night & read a book or two to him before bed. As he aged, there were always new challenges that presented themselves - He would roll away as he tested out his new found freedom from rolling; He would sit up & want to hold the book; He would crawl out of the room; He would stand & simply pull every book off the shelf as you laid there reading... So, we now sit in his glider to read & he is a little more still. Lately he has decided that rather than reading books, he would just like to highlight his favorite parts of books. In Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? as soon as we present the book he immediatly starts saying "Teach, teach" and he just wants to turn to this page with the teacher on it & smile:
Not sure what it is about this face, but he loves it! He also likes to say the word "balloon," which he pronounces "boon," and only wants to read the pages of Goodnight Moon that have the red balloon on them.
So, I am learning to try to listen to his "demands" and understand what he is trying to communicate to me. It is so fun to hear the new words that he picks up every few days, and when we ride in the car he likes to sit in his car seat & run through all of them for me! Here is a rundown of what we can say so far:
Mama, Dada, Mimi, Nanny, Papa, Pop, Cow, Moo, Duck, Quack, Teeth, Teach, Poop, Cup, Cookie, Cake (of course, all the junk food words, right?), Juice, More, No, Milo, Doggie, That, Pat, Hot, Ouch, Cold, Balloon, Peace, Uh-Oh
I am always listening for new ones, and there are still some that I cannot translate. No doubt he'll be a big talker though, just like everyone else in the Wehman Family - look out world!! :)

Sleep Log Completed
Before Wyatt was born I took all sorts of advice from my sister, who is an amazing mother of two I might add. One of the best suggestions that she made to me was to keep a sleep log. It started as a side project, but then it became sort of an obsession (I used to have to do a lot of "reporting" at my old job, so maybe a sick part of me missed that...) I have to say though, that after keeping up with it for a year I am definitely glad that I did it. It started as a simple Sleep Log, and then grew into a serious spreadsheet - tracking eating, sleeping, milestones, etc. It really came in handy when I needed to look back at Wyatt's sleep patterns. I also kept track of weekly milestones, so I trust that it will help me give some advice to my now pregnant friends when they ask what Wyatt has been doing at each age/stage.So, what prompted my post was I just laid Wyatt down for a nap, and I came in to the computer to log it - I haven't done it for a few weeks, but I am still working on breaking that habit. It's crazy how I have learned to retain numbers & times too - if we were away for a weekend Seth would tease me because I would come home to my spreadsheet & insert all the the nap & sleep times that I had remebered from the weekend...the things we do as new mothers.
We have been blessed with an awesome sleeper since day one, but when (and if) there is another Baby Jernigan, I hope to be able to use this as a reference.

The Best of Times
So last night my husband & I went on our first date night in a while. We actually get out quite a bit, with both of our parents living in the same town, but we hadn't been out alone on a "real" date in a long time.
After seeing The Dark Knight, which was AWESOME I might add, we headed out to dinner. While we waited for our food, we chatted a bit about this past year of parenthood. We came up with our Top 2 favorite things about being parents, then the 2 most challenging things. Here's what we came up with:
Best: 1) seeing Wyatt's smiling face in the mornings when we go into his room 2) watching him change & grow over this past year - he truly is turning into a little person & it is so fun to see him change
Most challenging: 1) finding time for the two of us - true quality time, and 2) finding ways to keep our favorite bits of our old lifestyle & incorporate Wyatt into them (camping, etc)
All in all, we agreed that our lives are so much richer because of Wyatt and even though quite a bit has changed we are better for it.

Thumb-Sucker's Thumb
Oh the thumb-sucker's thumb
May look wrinkled and wet,
And withered, and white as the snow
But the taste of a thumb
Is the sweetest taste yet
(As only we thumb-sucker's know).
And withered, and white as the snow
But the taste of a thumb
Is the sweetest taste yet
(As only we thumb-sucker's know).

Favorite Things
Okay, I am having a really hard time with this...my friend Abby tagged me to post about my 5 favorite things, but they have to be material things. If you know me, I have lots of "things" so this post is especially hard. It is making me realize that it may be time for another Spring Cleaning. Here goes...
1. Television - I know this is so cliche, but I LOVE TV. I feel like I don't watch very much, especially having a toddler now, but I do still find time thanks to DVR. I have a degree in broadcasting & have always loved TV & movies all my life - don't think that will ever change.
2. My car stereo - My husband was nice enough to get me a new sound system in my car before I got pregnant, then he joked with me that I wouldn't use it very much with the baby in the car. I actually use it all the time - music is a huge part of my life, and Wyatt has really picked up on it too. Now that his car seat is turned around, I love watching him clap & bop along to tunes. I also love being baby free in the car & just jamming out to my favorite tunes, whether via my iPod hook-up, or a good old fashioned CD :)
3. My watch - Thanks again to Seth (he's the sensible one, thank God) I got a watch for my 30th birthday. I have always been kind of "anti" watch, but ever since having a baby & timing things like breastfeeding, naps, etc it has really come in handy. At this point, I probably would be lost without it
4. Booklight - I like TV, but there is something about getting in bed at night with a book that I just love - well, that & the fact that my husband would not let me have the TV on in bed, or the light. I only read at night when I go to bed, and have a very hard time sleeping without first reading. Seth likes to laugh at me because there are many nights that I read 1 paragraph, then fall asleep with the light on all night. Before I got my current halogen booklight I had the Itty Bitty booklight, which I used to burn my face with every night, but at least that was my signal that I had fallen asleep & it was time to turn it out.
5. Under eye concealer - Okay, so I don't even wear a lot of make-up but 1 week before I had Wyatt I went all out & paid quite a bit for some at Sephora. It has been a complete staple ion my life since having a baby & many sleepless or long nights!

You've got to stand for something

To eat, or not to eat? That is the question...
...that I will be asking my pediatrician this afternoon. Wyatt is going for his one year appointment today. It seems silly - most mothers probably have a million questions about vaccines, motor skills, development, etc. My biggest question is what is up with my baby eating like an 18 year old boy home from college break. He literally pigs out on everything - he has yet to turn his nose up at a single food item - I kid you not. Even when we are out in public people ask me how I have gotten him to eat so many different foods. I really don't know how I did - his father his pretty picky, and I can be too at times.
I introduced milk yesterday & was really worried what the reaction would be, but alas - like everything else this child puts in his mouth, he loved it! He actually crawled over to the fridge later & slapped the door till I took his cup out!
So, I'll keep you posted on what the doc says. Lucky for us he is a fairly skinny guy, so maybe he has just gotten his Dad's wonderful metabolism.

Mother of the Year? Not so fast...
So, I had one of those moments last night where I had to laugh at myself, and then of course post my story on this blog.
Let me start by saying that my newest challenge is keeping Wyatt contained somehow while I make dinner each night. Seth & I have decided that it's easier to eat with Wyatt, and kind of nice to just be done with cooking, cleaning, etc after he goes to bed - leaving us time to just relax. Anywhoo...there I am last night in the kitchen & Wyatt is playing at the fridge. I am just about to pat myself on the back for being able to keep him occupied there for so long, when I notice he is making a very weird sound with his mouth. After closer examination, I realize he has put something into his mouth. Lo & behold, it is magnet. So, I fish it out (probably too big to swallow anyway, I tell myself) and that's when I have a good chuckle. The magnet, which I STILL don't know where this came from, reads "Damn tootin' I've been naughty, now spank my evil butt." I have a good chuckle to myself, thinking about rushing to the ER & having the Dr. fish this one out of Wyatt...I can only imagine the look I would have received.
For now, I continue to scan the house for small items like this, but they always seem to pop up. Let's just say that Seth & I have no worries about Wyatt's vision - he manages to pick every little thing out of the carpet :)

Jesus Loves Me
This morning Wyatt & I headed off to our church, Trinity Avenue Presbyterian, for our first day of Vacation Bible School. I have voluteered as a classroom leader this year, and Wyatt played with some kids in the nursery. This is only the second time he has visited the nursery, and the second time he has been with someone other than a family member. We were there from 9-11:30, which meant he would either take a nap there or miss one, but I was willing to take a chance.
We arrived to find that the A/C was out at the church, but not too hot in the building yet. I dropped off Wyatt & he immediatly took off to play with a room full of toys that were new to him, and other kiddo's. I headed off to my classroom filled with about 6 kids ages three-six. I had a lot of fun, and it was a great test of my patience for when Wyatt becomes this age!
I met up with Wyatt again at 11:30. He was stripped down to his onesie, sticky & sweaty & quite fussy. His diaper also looked like it was put on mid-wrestling match - I had to laugh to myself because I have played this game many times lately. He faired very well in the nursery (at one point I peeked in & saw him playing with my car keys) & the babysitter in there said she predicted he would be an engineer someday because he just loved to try to figure out how everything worked. I told her that the same is true at home.
Wyatt will stay home with Dad tomorrow morning to get his nap (he is about to start working on his 3rd hour of this afternoon nap right now). But, I think I'll bring him back on Wednesday - he seems to like socializing with the other kids, and I don't mind wearing him out a bit!

When I Wake
This is Wyatt's latest craze - when I go in to get him in the morning, or from a nap he is doing this & saying "That! That! That!" and pointing at everything in his room. He gets very excited about the lightswitch.
