Season of changes

We are preparing for a busy season of many changes in our near future.   Obviously, Keniann is one major change that will be happening in the next 7 weeks or so.  We haven't put the bassinet together, baby swing,etc., but we plan on doing those things within the next couple of weeks.  I have some clothes already washed and in drawers and closets just waiting for her to wear.  I have a list of things that I need from Babies R Us, but I'm not going to do that until after my baby shower (my church friends are soo incredibly sweet to be giving me a second baby shower next week!)  Jennifer (my sister-n-law) is letting us borrow her crib and nap nanny to use.  I can't wait to try out the nap nanny!  Jennifer loved using hers and I've always wanted to get one. 
I have one more two week check-up two weeks from today and then it's every week until Keniann is here!   The reality of her being here soon is starting to sink in and we are getting excited!  I'm still very nervous going from having only one to having two little ones.  I am starting to think and plan out scenarios of being prepared to nurse Keniann every two hours for thirty minutes or more at a time while having Wyatt toddling around me.  A friend suggested to have a "nursing toy box" for Wyatt so whenever I am nursing I will have designated toys/videos for him to play with only during nursing sessions.  I like that idea so I plan on trying that out.  I also know that he can sit beside me on the couch while I read a story to him if he wants to be close to us.  If anyone has any other suggestions that worked for them please let me know (:
We have been very active in looking for a home and a newer truck for Daniel.  His truck is terrible on gas and we would like another vehicle for us as a family to be able to ride in.  His truck now is only a single cab so when we have family outings, we always have to take the car (which has been no big deal so far).  We are also getting very close to purchasing our first home.  Our little rent house has been a huge blessing, but after four years we are ready to be homeowners.  We will miss our outside space since we have tons for Wyatt to roam around.  I hope he will do ok with a smaller yard, a much smaller yard!
We look forward to what God is doing in our lives (and will be doing) and are trusting him in his perfect timing for everything.  We are trying not to rush into anything and are taking time in prayer. We are extremely greatful that these changes are great blessings for our family (:

Wyatt's first haircut

Wyatt had his very first haircut a couple weeks ago.  I was so afraid his curls would be gone forever, but luckily his hair was still curly after the haircut (:  There was a stylemasters in Zachary we went to and Mrs. Kay who cut his hair did a great job!  Wyatt actually sat very still and never budged once while Mrs. Kay had given him his first big boy haircut.  I think Wyatt really enjoyed it!  He loves it when I brush or run my fingers through his hair so I'm sure the haircut experience felt good for him.

Wyatt's push car

Here are some video's of Daniel running while pushing Wyatt's push car and pulling him in the car with the lawnmower.  These kids are too funny!
