Since I am recovering from yesterday's tonsillectomy, I have some down time to update the blog and work on the computer some. I am not able to talk more than a whisper. My diet is apple sauce, jello, and Gatorade. Gwen has been hanging out with Gram and Wyatt just came back home this afternoon from being with Gram. Needless to say, the house is extremely quiet! Thank goodness my mom is here to help me...I don't know what I would do without her. She is on top of everything! Reminding me when to take my medicine, when to eat, and now taking care of Wyatt for me! I wish I hadn't needed this surgery, but at least I have the help to get me through the next 2 weeks of recovery!
Some more exciting things....Wyatt's 4 month check up went very well last week. He is now 14 lbs. 10 oz (31st %ile) and 25 inches (38th %ile)! He looks great and is such a happy baby! He is almost sleeping through the night, occasionally waking to eat around 2 am, but most often just wanting his paci back and then he drifts off to sleep again. During the day he still is taking about 3 1-2 hour naps. Gwen is all action. She loved Florida and was all about heading to Chicago last week. I don't know if she really likes the car that much, but she loves watching movies! She is definitely full of energy and only stops to sleep.
After returning home from Florida, I quickly unpacked and repacked for Chicago for the weekend. We had a wonderful time visiting with everyone, and we loved getting to see all my family at the Casey's 2nd of July Party!!!!! Just a few pictures of the weekend...
Kelley tried to teach Gwen how to hula hoop!
We squeezed in a family photo shoot in before the party--Thanks Jim and Sue they turned out amazing!
All our Casey crew!
Bubba and Gammy and their grand babies
The stars of the show!
The McKenzies :-)
The Tempels :-)
At the party...
During the party Gwen and Collin tried learning to share.
Sunday was all about fun. Gwen had brought water balloons just to attack Bubba with!!!!! They never did pop when she hit him!
Everyone enjoyed the splash pad!
When Lilly and Wyatt were done, Gwen showed off her moves!
After such a long day...Gwen slept really well!
Monday we drove back home and made it just in time to meet up with some of the Tempel's to celebrate the 4th of July and watch fireworks.
Who's taller now? I think it is a very close race
Wyatt was loving being out of the car seat and being held by everyone!
