Walk for CCFA
We will be participating in a fundraising walk for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (ccfa.org) on Sunday, October 7. Please support us in our efforts raise awareness and funds to further research for the cause, treatment, and (ideally) a cure for these autoimmune diseases.
Since my diagnosis and surgery almost 2.5 years ago, I have been fortunate to have my disease largely under control with medication (yea!). I do suffer some run-down days, but I don't have the chronic pain, nausea and fatigue that I had before. Compared to many others, I have it quite easy. I can't imagine having to go through adolescence and deal with this illness.
It has been over 4 months since my last ER visit, and I would like to make that a year - or 5! Having to take our very young son to the ER at 3am so mommy could get an IV was no treat...and I hope it never happens again.
Please let Chris or me know if you would like to donate to our cause. Thanks in advance for your support, and if you've already donated - we so appreciate it!

Pearly whites
Wyatt cut his first tooth at the end of July, and by mid-August his two bottom teeth were clearly visible. Just last Saturday he cut his top left tooth, and his top right is trying to follow suit (this has made for a cranky Wyatt...which is quite unusual, if you know our little guy).

Cheese!!
Hey...I think I can see them!

Wyatt at 6 months
Our little peanut who would curl up on my or Daddy's chest and fall asleep has outgrown that phase months ago. Now he is a sprawling, wiggly baby boy who can't get enough of what's going on around him. My goodness how quickly time flies.
Wyatt has been a pretty good traveller for us this past month. He has logged miles to SD, ND, WI, (and SD again) and enjoyed getting to meet more family and friends along the way (Hi everyone!). He hasn't gotten to meet everyone we'd like, but we have resigned ourselves to the fact that we just can't make it to everything.
Wyatt is now approximately 19.5-20 lbs and 28" or so long. He's been well-behaved considering the heat, teething, and passing around he's had - but he's more than willing to scream his displeasure when he's had enough, or is hungry or tired. He's got a touch of separation anxiety, but it is really only prevalent when he's getting tired. He's not crawling yet, but is starting to get it figured out...and Mommy and Daddy are in no hurry for that stage.
Here is some more on Wyatt at 6 months:
Likes: Books, the Jumperoo, the colors yellow and red, bathtime, his wading pool, peek-a-boo, and (so far) all of the fruits and veggies he's tried
Dislikes: Being cooped up in his carseat for too long, shots, Ritz crackers (see below)
Hobbies: Rolling/worming/scooting around, throwing things on the ground and watching Mommy or Daddy pick them back up (again and again...), pulling hair, tearing up napkins, grabbing anything he can get his little fingers on
Milestones: Sitting up like a big boy; Cut his first tooth this weekend; figured out that sippy cup!
