Wyatt at 10 months

This past month we traveled to Minnesota to visit family and friends and had such a great time (see pics from the trip in post below) During the week long trip Wyatt sprouted 3 new teeth! This brought him to a total of 7 teeth by the time we got home, then another one popped up just last week, so our little monster has 8 teeth. He is getting better at using those teeth, tearing into toast and crackers, and has also been enjoying bites of whatever we are eating for breakfast lunch and dinner, including chicken, beans, cheese, broccoli, pasta, etc. So far he likes all the 'real' food much better than any of the baby food we have ever offered him. Maybe with the exception of Gerber puffs and cheese crunchies, those are still a huge hit. Wyatt is still keeping us very busy with crawling around and standing, and now he loves to crawl up the stairs, supervised of course. He is also doing a lot of mimicking - clicking his tounge when we do, clapping when we clap, he even points and says 'da' at the dogs. He says 'da' at a lot of things right now, it sounds all the same to us but I'm sure each 'da' whens something very specific and important to him. We are all excited for the heat of August to move along, we have been going to the pool to keep cool, but are looking forward to the fall so we can get out for longer walks again. Here are some fun pictures for the past few weeks:

Minnesota Trip

We spent a week in Minnesota this summer - first we visited Jen's family in the Minneapolis area and then headed north to Ingrid's lake house to visit her and her son Jasem (4) and Monica and her son Max (21 months) No time to caption all of these photos now, maybe later...
