6 Months

I can't believe it has already been six months since this cute little guy joined our family.  I also can't believe how much they change in the first year.  He is no longer the sweet little newborn that just lays still in my arms.  He is an active, smiley baby who loves the sound of his own voice.  He is always making cute noises and seems quite entertained by the sound of his own voice.  He got this dumbo for Christmas from Keith's parents and he loves it.  He is always grabbing it and chewing on it.

This is one of his favorite things.  He loves to jump and bounce in here.  It is a lifesaver when I am trying to get things done.  He is usually very happy and content in there.

He is eating a variety of baby food now.  Just within the last couple of weeks he seems to be liking food more.  He will pull a sour face on most foods. but then he opens up for another bite.

His favorite so far is definitely sweet potatoes.  He loves to lay on the floor and play with his baby toys.  Everything he gets his hands on goes straight into his mouth.  He loves to roll all over the place.  He loves water.  He loves to be in the bath and he loved swimming.  He will just stare at me with a big smile while he kicks his legs and splashes water everywhere.  He loves attention.  He will sit and stare at anyone who is talking to me until they acknowledge him (and of course say how cute he is) and then he will smile and look away. 

We are all having so much fun with Wyatt.  I love to watch Jonah talk to Wyatt.  He talks in this high voice and says things like, "Hi Buddy, Oh your so cute, yes you are."  It is so cute.  Jonah loves little kids, he just hasn't figured out that he can't be rough with them.

Caitlyn just adores Wyatt.  She tells me every day that she is so glad we have Wyatt.  She had fun reading to him the other day.  Wyatt has always loved Caitlyn.  Even when Wyatt was first born he would always look around to find Caitlyn when he heard her voice.  Taking care of Wyatt seems to come natural to Caitlyn.  She has always been able to hold him just right and she is always giving him a binky or a toy when he is upset.  She is going to be a great mommy. 

Keith has always been able to get Wyatt to smile or laugh.  When Wyatt was first smiling Keith could always get the smile when the rest of us couldn't.  Keith will hold Wyatt and bounce him and dance around with him and Wyatt loves it, he always has a huge smile on his face the whole time. 

And if you can't tell I'm just a little smitten with Wyatt!  He is such an easy going baby and really makes my life pretty easy.  He is such a good sport about being dragged around all day while we do fun activities for Caitlyn and Jonah.  He will take cat naps in his car seat and just go with the flow.  He is starting to get a little more restless in the car seat so we may have to get a little more creative on our outings.  He is still growing like crazy.  He has his doctors appointment next week so I will find out how big he is then.  I love this age with my kids.  It is the best to have someone who smiles and gets all excited every time they see you.
