I said it in my six month post…and I’ll say it in this one…where the heck did time go?! When people tell you “don’t blink,” it’s the truth. In a blink of an eye my little baby has grown into a running, squealing, giggling little one year old. So….let me tell you about these last few months with my best friend; my son Wyatt.

I still can’t believe it has been a year; it sure doesn’t feel like it. Now if you ask my husband, and I did, he said it feels like forever ago since Wyatt was a newborn….but for me-I feel like I can close my eyes and instantly see, feel, hear everything from the moment he was born and can still feel that first touch and see that first glimpse. I swear just yesterday he was discovering how to coo and still had baby fuzz all over his back and ears (which is when I started calling him my monkey) Ok….que the tears from momma!
This last years was crazy, amazing, beyond rewarding, full of challenges, and hard....parenting is hard... but the loving him part is easy! I have done everything in my power to be the best mom, wife, and business woman that I can…but of course, at times I’m sure I have fallen short along the way. I sometimes feel like I’m a crazy person who can never quite catch up, but I’ve been able to find a balance that works for me and has allowed me to be with my son the majority of every day. And that folks is what I call a dream.
Until recently, Wyatt was my little bakery baby. He has his own designated area and take your child to work day was his every day norm (and he’s made an appearance at almost every open day and many wedding deliveries!) But now he walks….more like runs. Soooo our bakery time is limited. We can only bounce from pack-n-play, to highchair, to breaks with mom for so long. And since I don’t want to do that to him every day, but refuse to miss out on these precious moments and years…I’ve changed my schedule to best suit him.

My schedule has become wackier than ever. I vary between going in after Wyatt goes to bed, and coming home in the middle of the night-sometimes to go back in for a few hours with Wyatt; going in between 2 and 4am and getting home mid-morning, or going in for just a few hours when “normal people” go to work. With the help of my mom (yup the same mom who followed me to the bakery for hours on end to help when Wyatt was a few months old just so I could be with him all day), I’ve been able to be with Wyatt every day. (This is something that was really important to me, so I’m so so happy that I’ve been able to make this work.)
And there’s still a good chance if you have an afternoon pickup or weekend pickup you’ll get to see Wyatt. Since I aim to be home mid-morning at the latest, Wyatt usually goes back into town with me for later pickups. And if you don’t see me, you probably see my mom. She’s pretty awesome and often does pickups for me so I have a little less running around. She also owns a business; which is another reason why I go in so early (or late at night). So she can help me out and still tend her business as well.
Here’s a few little fun facts about Wyatt for you:
-Even though he was born with a lot of hair, he has been sporting a mostly bald head for most of the year (I didn’t have hair until I was almost two…and it was white!)
-He loves animals; especially puppies and kitties
-Believe it or not, he’s never had sweets! He had two chances to dive into a cake, his birthday and smash cake pictures, but he didn’t eat any of either time!
-He often sounds like Tim the Tool Man Taylor. If you’ve watched Home Improvement you know what I mean!
P.S. It took me almost a month the write this blog! Why?? Because finding time the write the blog has become super challenging-so my apologies, I'm trying!
Thanks for another week of orders!
