Waylon Neal Wright was born March 26, 2014!!
He is 6 years old!!!
If there ever was a mini Zach, at this point, Waylon is that. (More on this in a bit)
Waylon was born at 39 weeks at Lakeview hospital and it was a breeze. My pregnancy was a breeze and delivery was a breeze. Waylon was a pretty calm baby....up until about 2 months and all of a sudden he QUIT eating! He refused to nurse, he didn't like bottles...Zach couldn't feed him, grandma's couldn't feed him....the ONLY way he would eat was on my chest fading me in a carrier with a bottle while I stood up!!! Right there I should have known he would be a stubborn one 😂 so we switched to a bottle and fed him that way for am extremely long time. Waylon became a mommy's boy and didn't want anything to do with anyone else really. He did like Papa Neal and would be with Zach if I wasn't around, but if I was in the room it was always mommy he wanted! It didn't help that he got so many ear infections! So so many...and with all the ear infections came antibiotics and with all those he developed CDiff bland got extremely sick. He ended up in the hospital for a few days to get that under control. He got so dehydrated he could have died. It was super scary! So we got tubes in his ears and to this day he still has one in his right ear. Hopefully it will come out soon!
Waylon was able to go to preschool at my mom's and go with cousins Hyrum and Owen. He definitely isn't social and hasn't been social how whole life. Waylon is so excited to do everything Boston has done...so when it was time for preschool he was ready! Although he didn't talk much to kids there. When it was time for SOCCER he was ready! His first season as a 4 year old ..he killed it! Just like Boston did. Waylon was star of the show and scored at least 5+ goals every single game! He also played T-ball and was really good at that. He only did that for one season...and he played one more year of soccer and just turned a 180 and didn't really enjoy it all that much...so soccer has fizzled out...although I think he would be an amazing soccer player.
Waylon started wrestling at 4! His first singlet was a yellow "don't tread on me" with a rattle snake!! He also had a big Mohawk with a tail he used to call his rattle! Waylon was
a beast when he started wrestling and has done really well. We just did a few tournaments with him his first year and he usually was aggressive and fiesty. This year as a five year old he learned so many crazy moves that Boston has taught him. Bar half, side cradle and a cow catcher. He has
beautiful technique!! His aggression isn't the best right now because he thinks about everything so deeply. So as well as he did this year, he also struggled a little mentally and with avgression...but once that clicks for him he will be a total beast because his skills are so high! I can't wait to see what he does with wrestling! He just started at Sanderson too and that will be good for him!
He loves to tumble! We might do a comp with him. He is really good at it and almost has his back handspring down!
Now back to what I said about him being like Zach, he is a DEEP thinker!! So so deep. It actually causes him a lot of anxiety. Due to that we are trying again for kindergarten this next year. It was a rough year for Waylon socially and mentally so we pulled him out before he got too far along. Waylon loves to be with his brothers, but doesn't like making friends. So we are working on that with him!
Waylon loves bugs, he loves camping, hiking, fishing. He is a science guy. He could look at bugs and find worms for hours. Waylon has loved dinosaurs as well and collected so many. He isn't as into sports at this point in his life, but does love competition and playing them sometimes. Waylon has a slight lisp when he speaks and has said some funny words as he has grown up. He is extremely witty when he speaks and jokes.
Something I never want to forget about waylon is when he was 2-4 he called Christmas "smicris" it was the world's cutest thing!
We love this little guy so much!
Waylon current weighs 49 lbs and is in the 75% in weight and 52% in height.
