Growing Up...

Our sweet Wyatt is becoming such a big boy! It's crazy how quickly 5 months has passed by...slow down, life!! His smiles and ADORABLE laughter light up our lives and some of his accomplished milestones as of late are rolling over (the day before his 4 month b-day) and starting rice cereal (the day after his 5 month b-day)! Teething seems to be in full force although none have broken through yet. Poor baby. Teething is such a long and drawn out process...no fun at all. We're guessing this is the cause of his recent night wakings. :( He's also been refusing a bottle lately and we're not sure we really want to fight/force it. Though having a little more "freedom" would be nice, I love nursing him and am going to do my best to stay positive and embrace this time because based on how the past few months have gone, I know this season won't last long and I'll never be able to get it back! Wyatt is truly a sweet soul and we love him so much!

He's been loving his jumperoo!

Ride 'em cowboy!

We caught his first rollover on camera!

After his first rollover...he was so proud! Tim, Teagan, and I were his cheerleaders. Teagan still cheers every time he rolls over. So cute.

We love to make each other laugh!

Teagan is an awesome big sister and takes such good care of her baby brother. She loves to help out in any way, aways alerts us to when he spits up or drools (she's wiping it here) and is the first to say, "You okay, Wy?" (in a very concerned, high pitched voice) if he coughs or makes a funny noise. Love it! Though she usually does pretty well, now that Wyatt is becoming more mobile and is playing with toys, Teagan has been a little more possessive and has learned the big "M" word...MINE! Needless to say, we're having more and more teachable moments lately. :)


Being the sentimental person I am (okay, and maybe a little bit of a dork), I couldn't resist this great photo op....the first time all four of us sat at the dinner table together! Before being able to sit in the high chair, Wyatt has always been in his swing or the jumperoo. Oh, the things that make my heart smile. :)

What a strong boy!

1st taste of solid food (rice cereal)!

It just doesn't get much cuter than this! :)
