What's in a name?


This week has been crazy!! The amount Wyatt has grown and learned is just amazing to me. He is a fast motor scooter on the floor, he now has 4 teeth!!! Yep 4!!! And he gives kisses now!!! We went to the Pediatrician for his 6 month appointment (even though he is 6 1/2 months old) and she said he is just wonderful!! She is so glad he is doing so well after the rough start he had. He weighs 18 lbs 14 ozs, and is 28 1/4 inches tall!! Tall and skinny. She said he is at the same stage developmentally as a 9 month old and that she wouldn't be surprised if he was walking the next time she sees him!! Heaven help me!! Mr. Wyatt does not want to be held at all!! If he is awake he wants on the floor!! Of course when he gets sleepy he wants to be held sort of. He is a little wishy washy then. We have had a few rough nights this week because of his 3rd and 4th tooth coming in but hopefully, now that the last is out he will sleep tonight!!! After a weekend with Grammi and Pa - Paw he needs all the rest he can get. Those grandparents of his must stay up all night long playing!! Lol.

We went and visited my Aunt Nancy on Friday. That was fun. I have always loved hanging out with her and I'm sure Wyatt will too!! She did my taxes so I had to name my "Ranch" business!! We are officially Lightning Bug Ranch!! I am excited!! Still feel silly calling a little bitty property a ranch but I couldn't come up with anything else. I thought Lightning Bug Quarter horses, but half of my horses are Appaloosas so that won't work. Could be Lightning Bug Performance Horses but I'd never be able to afford a sign with that written on it!! Too long!! Plus none of my horses perform at the moment. Lightning Bug Farm. . . hmm no cows, and to me farm implies cows. I just couldn't decide. Anyways I'm rambling. Whatever it is Wyatt is now growing up on a Ranch. . . ette maybe. Lol Now he just needs his own pony!! I just had a break thru!! Maybe we could call it Lightning Bug Creek? That is why we named it that in the first place. The creek that runs by our house has a ton of Lightning Bugs in it in the Summer and when we first moved here I told Greg all I wanted from the property was for it to have a few Lightning bugs and the first night here I sat on the porch and there were hundreds!!! I can't wait for Wyatt to be big enough to go lightning bug hunting with me!!! We will have so much fun!!

I LOVE lightning bugs! They don't have those this side of the Rockies and I only see them when I head out east. I thought about taking a jar and bringing some home... :) I like the name of your ranch! WTG Wyatt with all his growing!
