Today
Today I...
worked 12 hours.
dyed Easter eggs with kids.
hammered out my position re the Bobby Petrino scandal.
tucked 4 little birdies into their nests.
went shopping for Easter basket goodness.
ate jelly beans and drank beer.
gave up the very last of my brain cells to Real Housewives of Orange County.
I am sorry I have been such a lousy blogger. Life has been super crazy. I have news. We've had some rough times. We've had some very very happy times. It's time for bed. I will catch up soon.
In the mean time, here is my happy, happy baby boy.

Wyatt's Baptism
Last Sunday we celebrated Wyatt's baptism - what a wonderful, joyful day it was! We were surrounded my our very best friends and family (some in spirit, many from far and near in person).
Wyatt's beautiful gown was sewn by my grandmother in Austria for Sophia's baptism, and now all four of my children were baptized in it. I am going to have their names and baptism dates embroidered on the hem in white thread.
The following three pictures are two of some of favorites from the day (my friend Paula took all of these great pictures) - they so much show my children's true personalities!
It was a beautiful ceremony. We love our new church and felt so surrounded by the love of everyone in that building!
Davis's oldest brother, Zane, is Wyatt's Godfather. He lives in Texas, and we don't see him very often, but he is a GREAT uncle to my children!
Another great in-the-moment picture
My sweet boys
After the ceremony, there was a reception in the parish hall at church with this special cake
And the church gave Wyatt a treasure chest filled with amazing presents - a little Bible, baptism book, handmade blanket, cross and a little pillow, a beautiful shell with Wyatt's name on it, a little handkerchief with a cross, and a beautiful calligraphy prayer
Talk about making a mama happy - feeling so much love bestowed on her baby!
We then had a lunch reception at Dogtown Cafe. Sounds bad from the name ha! But it was SO yummy!! And such a special afternoon - they closed down the restaurant for us, and there was a playground right outside with a big window that let us watch out children (who played in the perfect weather!)
This sight did my heart good - seeing Uncle Zane and Amelia having lunch together. I said he is a great uncle - he gives these kiddos his undivided attention when he is with them!
Sweet Henry, he was so so sleepy! He normally naps at 10:30 a.m. and he made it through the whole day without a nap.
It was a very special day to celebrate a very special little boy.

We thank you, Almighty God, for the gift of water. Over it the Holy Spirit moved in the beginning of creation. Through it you led the children of Israel out of their bondage in Egypt into the land of promise. In it your Son Jesus received the baptism of John and was anointed by the Holy Spirit as the Messiah, the Christ, to lead us, through his death and resurrection, from the bondage of sin into everlasting life.
We thank you, Father, for the water of Baptism. In it we are buried with Christ in his death. By it we share in his resurrection. Through it we are reborn by the Holy Spirit. Therefore in joyful obedience to your Son, we bring into his fellowship those who come to him in faith, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

as Christ's own for ever!

Three Months!
It happened in the past couple of weeks, I haven't wanted to admit it, but it did... Wyatt stopped being a newborn.
He is sleeping through the night (most nights). He is smiling and cooing and trying really hard to tell us what he's thinking. He is strong and holding his head up to look around. He is no longer pooping every 10 minutes. He has a little routine, and we are starting to figure out what he likes (the baby swing at 6pm) and doesn't like (cold feet).
Baby Wyatt is three months old as of yesterday. We are having so much fun with him and could not love him more!

A Typical Scene From My Bed
Henry on the iPhone, Sophia being an awesome big sister, Wyatt smiling and being adorable. Some combination of these kids and Amelia are always on my bed in the mornings doing some combination of these things, and randomly getting snuggle attacks from me. Because I can't help it.

Things I Love ~ Baby Christmas Gifts
This is the second of my posts about some of my favorite things. Here is the first.
Baby Wyatt is my youngest Christmas baby, and the first time I have had a little one too small to enjoy toys at Christmastime. Plus, with four kids, we really have more baby toys than we need. I asked Sophia what she thought Santa might bring a little baby, and she nailed it!
Some of our favorites are below, with Wyatt to show them off :)
Wyatt's "big" gift was a baby book by Rag & Bone Bindery. Sophia has one from the same company, and I love it.
Found at Anthropologie.
These booties are so sweet and snuggly warm. And because they are Robeez, they actually stay on his wee feet.
I know, if I were a truly dedicated blogger, I would have put the booties ON Wyatt to show them off, but he was really happy in his sleep sack, and you don't mess with happy babies.
These little lovey blankets are the softest things! Amelia's "Buppy" was the bunny from this series, and she had to have it for sleeping with until a few months ago. We still love Buppy, even though he's no longer essential for sleep. Maybe little Lion will become Wyatt's bup.
I got a three-pack here (it's always good to have extras!)
I didn't realize until I saw all these gifts together, that Wyatt's Christmas had a bit of a lion theme to it - he also got this sweet thing
Wyatt also got some practical gifts, and he didn't mind one bit. He got more of these bottles, to help Daddy get through the day while I'm at work.
We used Avent with Sophia and Amelia, but they had changed their design when Henry was born and were pretty awful and extremely expensive. Thankfully they're good again, and we love them. Five-pack found here.
In his stocking, Wyatt also got another one of these favorite diapers
and some sleepers, wash cloths, a rubber ducky, a set of bamboo baby spoons, Sophie the Giraffe's cousin, my favorite baby wash (smells DIVINE!), and socks.
He got two blankets to go with his black stroller and I love both of them. This one will be great for cold or drizzly days, and I love that it clips on.
And this one is sooo cute with soft gray minky on one side!
Found on Etsy by my mom.
This was Sophia's favorite board book when she was a baby - she would get SO excited about it! Sadly, it literally fell to pieces from so much love, so Wyatt got his own copy
Shopping for a little baby wasn't nearly has hard as I thought it would be, even with a fourth child who has pretty much everything he needs!

Best. Christmas. Ever.
There is nothing better than Christmas with little kids, NOTHING! Here are just a few of the eleventy billion pictures I took last night and this morning.
On our way to church, where the girls were angels in the pageant.
When we got home, so thankful for the awesomeness of crockpots.
Grandma Judy's Christmas pajamas - one of our favorite Christmas traditions. The kids open their pajamas that Grandma made, and then call her to say thanks and merry Christmas!
After bedtime...
And Christmas morning - do you think we've been THIS good this year??
Christmas Twenty Eleven, brought to you by American Girl Doll and Lego (and Anthropology - lucky Mom!)
Henry got some big boy underwear for Christmas... do you think this is his way of telling us he's not ready?
Coffee, lots and lots of coffee! Mommy and Daddy got three hours of sleep last night.
(Although another favorite Christmas tradition - the Christmas nap! Mom and Dad got a little nap while the boys napped and the girls played - NICE!)
In the wake of wrapping carnage, a little baby sleeps
The whistle on my old tea kettle broke, and a few weeks ago I forgot about it on the stove and MELTED it. Now I have the one I've always wanted!
(please excuse my ugly wrist- one of six failed attempts to start an IV on me in the hospital)
Sweet Henry - see how he's wearing his sister's Crocs? The boy LOVES shoes. So Santa got him some firetruck (another favorite thing) slippers!
Merry Christmas!!!
