Christmas

Christmas was a big success this year!

Sophia helped decorate tree and put the star on top.

The girls had really cute matching outfits for the Christmas Eve service.

Annabelle looks a little worried about her big sister.

Sophia got all of the gifts that a 2 year old could want, the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Diego's Rescue Pack, a Little Einstein's Conductors Wand, a tu-tu with a built in music box, a bumble bee with a book, etc. etc. and she LOVED all of them. It was certainly an overload for her, she wasn't sure how to play with every toy at once.

Annabelle's Christmas was also success. She got a few learning toys and an ocean play mat. Sophia tested all of the toys for satisfaction and seemed to be pleased.

We were at my parents house this year with family and Zack's brother. It was nice and quite and laid back.

Zack and I both start new jobs on the 5th so we are just relaxing now until that time. We're moving into a townhouse in Mid January so we're getting everything ready for that so I guess we have a pretty busy month.

Welcome to the Wyatt Page

Hello All:

I am entering the world of blogging (yikes). I was not happy with our other babysites.com page so I have decided to create a page where I can put all of our family information in one place and on one page.

Zack and I are in the process of moving (again) back to Northern Virginia. The girls and I are staying with my parents and Zack is splitting his time between Charlotte and VA. I got a job at Northwestern Mutual and will start after the New Year and Zack is keeping his job and will work in both VA and NC.

We went to see Zack's family in Texas last month and that was great. It was a new place for me to see and I liked it ... there was not alot in West Texas but it was very pretty. Zack's greatgrand mother turned 102 in November so we went to see her and let everyone in TX meet the girls. It was really cool, at one point we had 5 generations in one room.

The girls are doing great!

Sophia is a true 2 year old. She is talking up a storm and repeats everything that everyone says and it's too cute.

We went and saw Santa Clause and it was a vast improvement from last year, we actually got a picture with both of the girls and no one was crying :) but I am in the picture too. Although Santa gave her candy she still wouldn't let me leave her.

Annabelle is doing great! She is growing like a weed and is finally putting on weight. She is almost 6 months old and JUST NOW grew out of her newborn outfits. She is cooing and chatting all the time. She is trying to sit up on her own and she is bouncing her in chair and have a great time. She has her 6 month check up soon so I'll keep you posted.

Annabelle's Visit to the Cardiologist

I took her to the Cardiologist today to check out her murmur from birth. The dr. said that he is not worried but she does still have a murmur and a narrower than normal tube at the top of her heart.

Both of the pediatrician's that saw her and the cardiologist were not and are not worried about it and they all say that it will mend itself over time as her heart pumps more and builds more muscle.

I am taking her back in 6 months so I'll have an update then.
