Family Night Out

Since Andy grew up in Minnesota and playing hockey, my parents got us Winter Hawk tickets for Christmas. We have enjoyed these hockey games in the past but we knew this one would be an adventure with an 8 week old in tow! We decided to make a night of it and go out to dinner too! So, this was our first big night out on the town as a family. We started off the night with a yummy dinner at P.F. Changsand then headed downtown to the Rose Garden. After a quick meal for Wyatt we headed into the game! We got to use our new Ergo carrier, which was very comfortable! Wyatt fell asleep in the carrier before we even got into that arena and stayed asleep until after the 2nd period started, only stirring a little when the crowd got excited. After Wyatt woke up he enjoyed watching the game from the comfort of his Daddy's lap! Wyatt was ready to go home near the end of the third period when there were a couple of close goals which caused the crowd to go

wild and Wyatt
to get upset. The Winter Hawks ended up scoring 2 more goals after we left and won the game against the Seattle team, 6-2. All in all the night was a success! We had lots of fun and Wyatt got to experience his first, of many I'm sure, hockey game!!!

Going on a Walk

Wyatt and I have settled into a little routine on the days we are home alone! One of our favorite things to do, when it's not raining, is go on a walk. Wyatt loves to ride in the stroller and spends most of the time sleeping. However, he is becoming more alert these days and I think he will start to appreciate the nature around us, as we walk, soon! These pictures are from one of our walks last week when it was sunny and beautiful outside. We decided to walk over to the park where the geese and ducks play!

When Daddy's at School

After 4 wonderful weeks at home as a new family, Andy had to go back to school. Since I am on maternity leave until March, that leaves me and
Wyatt to hang out together at home while Andy goes to school! Wyatt and I had so much fun this week together and did lots of different things. Most importantly, we got to sleep in each day! Andy was gone all day Monday and the weather was not too good,
so we stayed inside all day. Wyatt was such a good boy, he slept a lot and that let me do some laundry and take down all of the Christmas decorations! This semester Andy has Tuesdays off, so we went out and ran some errands. We went to the Nike employee store and Wyatt got a new beanie and a warm pair of soft booties. We also went to Old Navy to see what was on sale and we found Wyatt 3 onesies and a fleece hoodie! On Wednesday Wyatt and I played at home! Wyatt is lucky enough to have a friend named Mason who let him borrow his swing. Wyatt loves to sleep there, listen to the music and watch the animals go round! Wyatt also found some time to hang out on his new jungle play mat and get in a little tummy time! On Thursday the weather finally dried out and Wyatt and I got to go for a walk! It was very cold and we both bundled up to stay warm in the wind but we had lots of fun! Grandma and Grandpa Cook even came over in the evening to visit! On Friday we went to the Adidas employee store and Wyatt got to see his Auntie Erin for the first time in more than 2 weeks! She even introduced him to some of her co-workers, even though he slept the whole time:) Phew...what a week! Here are a few pictures of Wyatt enjoying some of the activities from the week!
