Wyatt at 7 months

Well... unfortunately our little Wyatt spent most of his 6th month of life sick. First it was a stomach bug and fever and then we got hit with a nasty cold that turned our baby into a mini snot factory. The sickness threw us all for a loop and both sleeping through the night and going to day care were put on hold for nearly 2 weeks. Things are getting back to normal now, although Wyatt still has a drippy nose (as does Mommy). Wyatt is still just trying to crawl, but has figured out how to roll over numerous times in a row and make it from one end of a room the other in a surprisingly quick time. He also loves to hold his own bottle now.

Standing...

"Hey, mom... you're cramp'n my style!..."

Holding his bottle:

Wyatt at 6 months

We are a little late on the 6 month blog, very busy getting Wyatt ready to start day care next week and our little guy has also been sick with a bit of a stomach bug. Bryan and I got fully indoctrinated into parenthood this week when we both got pooped on multiple times during a single day. That day also happened to be our Anniversary... it will be a memorable one! :) We are looking forward to starting day care next week but will miss being able to have Wyatt at home all the time and he will really miss his sitter Liddy. Day care will be good for him though, and he will get to meet a lot of other babies. Maybe learn how to crawl and talk... is it really time to grow up so soon? :( I will keep this short and add lots of pictures to make up for the late blogging. As you can see in the picture above Wyatt's first two teeth are now showing up in his smiles. Hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to spring as much as we are.

Beep, Beep... who's got the keys to my Jeep?:

Hey there blue eyes:Hey Daddy!

I love Daddy!

The standard Easter pic... Wyatt was wishing there was something more interesting in the Easter Bunny's basket... like a ba-ba of milk.

Happy Easter!

Happy play time:

Yumm... Starbucks is for babies too, right?...

Yeah!...time to go out for a walk:

"Could you stop taking pictures and take me on a walk already!?":

The "pre-crawl" video:

This video is of Wyatt doing his little flying penguin routine where he gets on his tummy, puts his arms back, and just kicks his legs - as if he will just slide along if he tries hard enough. Then he has to take a break to catch his breath and rest his head. It's very cute and funny to watch, he get's really into it. It looks like good excerise. Towards the end of the video he also burps... our little charmer :)

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:

Our little traveler:

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!

More Fun Videos!!

2 new video submissions for the entertainment of his adoring fans: Wyatt jumping in his bouncer and having a baby-talk conversation in his crib:

Fun Video

Here's a fun video from last month of Wyatt talking and laughing. We forgot to post it sooner. He already has noticeable less hair than in the video and it's been just about 3 weeks. Crazy how quickly things change! Enjoy:
