Sleeping, Eating, and Teething...

One of Wyatt's favorite parts of the day is his bedtime routine - he gets a bath, a massage, a book, a bottle, and some quality cuddle time with Mommy and then he is fast asleep by 8pm. Sleep is such a lovely thing! He now sleeps from 8pm to 7am every night! The road to a full night's sleep was not painless but we did it and could not be happier with the results!! We are now working on (but mostly just playing with) different kinds of baby food. So far peas are the biggest hit. Also, Wyatt's first teeth are beginning to come in - we can see and feel the bottom front two teeth. Some must share pictures from the last few weeks:

Peas, peas....

"I heart Peas!" Wyatt is fascinated with the baby food bowl more so than the spoon - here he is eating straight out of the bowl: Are feet in the food pyramid?: "Can someone get this dog out of my photo shoot?!": A piece of frozen fruit feels good on the gums:Sitting and playing is his crib:Wyatt was thrilled to have a week long visit from his Mam-ma: Happy Baby on St. Patty's Day:

Wyatt at 5 months

Wyatt is 5 months old today! Lots of great things have been going on in our lives recently. We have been busy developing new baby skills like sitting, and playing with our feet. We have even gotten to travel and have a few play dates with other baby boys. Here are some pictures of our recent adventures:

Wyatt's first big snow day:

On February 21st (a Saturday) Wyatt suddenly discovered his feet. He has been fascinated with them ever since and particularly enjoys grabbing and holding onto his feet when he has his diaper off between diaper changes. It's quite interesting! He is very thankful that I am not putting pictures of the naked feet grabbing on his blog:
Speaking of naked... I couldn't help myslef! He will definitely have something so say about me sharing this photo in about 20 years:
Last weekend Wyatt had his very first plane ride! Mommy and baby flew from DC to NYC to visit the Murphy's - Vanessa, Jimmy, and thier little boy Lucas (3 months old). Wyatt was great on the plane! He mostly slept with just short wake ups to visit with the other passengers who stopped by our seat to admire him. Picture at the airport ready to board his first flight:

Wyatt has had lots of other playdates as well - he definitely recognizes and at times reaches out to touch other babies... like he's trying to say "Hey! you're a baby too!" Below Wyatt with Grant Phelps, Jack Russo, and Anthony Clarke.

And the lastest addition - a little girl! Welcome Carly Rebecca Nusbaum. Wyatt can't wait to meet you!!

Signing off this blog post with Mommy's favorite - a sleep picture. This one is of Wyatt snoozing away in his swing. We LOVE the swing! It works like magic!
