March Two Three Four

Porter is such a little copy cat and he is a good follower. So Tom has decided to enlist him in military training. Porter loves to do this.

2 months old

Wyatt is 2 months old! He's growing so fast but I love it. He has always had good neck control since he was born. Now he can hold his head up for periods of time by himself. The first month he slept most of the time which was nice as we adjusted to having two kids. In fact, for the first month I was able to take him to work with me. Now he is awake most of the day and he is coming alive with personality. He can focus on you when you look at him and when you are lucky he will give you a smile that will melt your heart. I can already tell his personality is going to be different than Porter's. I think he will be more calm and laid back. When he was first born I thought he looked just like Porter but now I can see so many differences I don't think they look anything alike. Wyatt has fuller lips, rounder cheeks, a wider nose, and his ears lay flatter against his head. Both Porter and Wyatt have beautiful blue eyes. Wyatt spits up a lot but I'm not too worried because he seems to be gaining weight just fine. He is a little chunk. I fall more in love with him every day. Porter calls Wyatt "Brother". The jealousy has gotten worse. On Saturday, as I was holding Wyatt, Porter told me "No Brother." But then on Sunday morning when Porter woke up he asked me, "Where's Brother." I pointed to the bassinet with Wyatt in it and Porter said excitedly, "I found him!" Maybe he was worried I actually listened to him the day before and got rid of Wyatt.

Porter's Garden

We are renting our neighbor's guest house right now as we finish our house. They have a beautiful house and a beautiful yard and they have been so kind to us and our kids. Christine planted a garden a couple weeks ago and Porter helped her. Porter was so in to the garden that Christine has given him a quarter of her garden and she made a sign that says "Porter's Garden" to hang on the pole facing his section of the garden. Porter loves to go out to his garden and dig. Everett came over one Saturday and also helped dig in Porter's garden. Boys and dirt just go together.

Wyatt Farr Richins

Wyatt Farr Richins was born on February 15, 2012 at 8:15am. He weighed 7 lbs 9 oz. and was 20" long. He was born perfect and healthy. He is a good baby and good sleeper for the most part. Porter and Grandma Sue were the first to come and visit us in the hospital. They came the same day Wyatt was born. Porter brought a stuffed Thomas train to give to Wyatt and Wyatt gave Porter Diesel and Patrick (Thomas trains). Porter was very excited about Diesel and Patrick but not so excited about Wyatt.Two of my good friends, Denise and Jannene, took a turn staying the night with me in the hospital and helping with Wyatt. I am lucky to have such good friends. This is Denise with Wyatt the first night.

Getting ready to take Wyatt home. The drive home from the hospital with Wyatt for the first time. Our first day home with Wyatt. Porter actually has a lot of love for Wyatt. When Wyatt cries, Porter pats him on the head and says, "It's ok". Sometimes he wants to hold Wyatt too. I hope their love for each other only grows. Porter helping me give Wyatt a bath. Look at this multi-tasking dad! Tom holding Wyatt and drying off Porter. Porter got a shark towel and dragon towel from Grandma Care. He loves to wear these towels and pretend to scare us. The more we scream the better. Tom holding Wyatt and Jeckel and playing with Porter. For my birthday we took our first trip with Wyatt to Solvang. We stayed the night in Solvang and picked up an antique bed we bought last summer but couldn't fit in my car. This is a rainbow we saw on the way up. It was even more beautiful in person and I swear we saw the end of the rainbow, but no gold. Both boys sleeping in the car on the way to Solvang.
Wyatt.
