Blessing Day may 4th, 2008

I honestly can't believe Thaddy is 1 already. This year has flown by! He is such a precious little man. All our boys have been wonderful but Thaddy is just so sweet and tender. We never hear a peep from him and he is really so easy going. He has been an easy baby right from the start. We went into the Hospital about 7:30 in the morning to be induced and he just came easy as pie in about 19 minutes after my water broke. He didn't even cry until he got his little shots in his feet. I kept asking Danny if he was alright cuz he wasn't making a sound!!

He is a sweet snuggly little man and is such a joy to have in our home. His big brothers were horrible teethers and fought giving up the bottle, binkies and being swaddled, but it seems like no matter what we throw at this kid- he just takes it in stride with no fussing. He doesn't fight new foods or textures like the other 2 , he sleeps like a dream and just goes with the flow.

July 2008
He is so much fun lately with his crawling and getting into EVERYTHING. He loves to follow after his big brothers and grab their toys away from them and loves to play peek-a-boo and giggle with Tucker and Tate. He is starting to pull up on everything and has had a few bad falls lately- It's heartbreaking to hear him cry. He LOVES his exersaucer lately and loves to bounce and jump til he's sweaty and exhausted. More than once lately- I'll come into the front room to find him asleep on his feet, slumped over his toys. It's so flipping cute!

September 2008
His 1 year check-up is next week- so I will have to give his stats and info then- but he is a healthy and happy baby boy and we love him so much.

December 2008

It's been kind of a challenge to find presents for him since we have just about every toy ever made... but he was in desperate need of some new church clothes and we had to get him a big boy car seat- yes. We now have 3 car seats in our Jeep and it's crazy squishy. He loves to play with blocks and anything that crinkles or shakes. The noisier the better. He loves his binkies and taggie blankets and wont fall asleep without his music box playing lullabies.

Hollie - Wyatt was just like that as well, textures didn't bother him, he would eat anything, great eye contact, etc. etc. However, after his 12 month vaccine, everything changed. The courts have now even said that vaccines can trigger autism and other neurological disorders and delays. The 12 month shot is the worst and once there is a predisposition in your familly, there is much greater risk. Anyways, I have done even more research latley and I am just advising everyone I know to delay the shots - especially the 12 month. Wait until the child develops more. Hazel still hasn't had any shots and she is doing amazing wheras my two boys that were vaccinated both have sensory problems and neurological issues. Anyways - you can call me if you want more info. I just worry about all of these little kids! 1 in 25 kids in Utah have Autism - that is the newest statistic.... So sad.
