9 Months!


I never cease to be amazed at how quickly a little 20 lb. body can learn something! One day Wyatt is content to play on a mat with his new talent of sitting up then the next he dragging himself to the dog's water bowl!!! How can he learn so quickly and master it so well in such a short time? If only we as adults could do the same thing!

Here are the highlights from the past month:
*Sitting up is now 'no thang' for this little guy...also falling out of his Bumbo seat because he can:)
*This kid can eat!! He loves pieces of cheddar cheese, little pieces of chicken, toasted bread, and just about every kind of fruit and veggie!
*He now has 3 teeth!! The bottom 2 came in last month with no problem, however, when the top front tooth decided to make its way down it was not a happy time...runny nose, hard time going down for sleep.
* He can wave "hi" to us! It is really cute because he also makes a sound like he is saying 'hi'! He is also the little charmer...when anyone says anything to him while we are out he gives them a big wave too!
*He is officially on the move..
His biggest motivation to get from one place to the other...a cell phone or remote!
I actually had to buy a new cell phone because it had water damage from him! I guess I learned my lesson the hard way!
*As I type this he is making his way across the room to get to Daddy's slippers! He seems to like to go after the 'yucky' stuff...shoes, slippers, dog bowls and tails....
*He is now starting to mimic us...Daddy clicking his tongue gets him trying:)
*He is also clapping! and raising his arms for "Sooo Big"

Just looking over this list amazes us at how much he has grown in the past month! The days are easy to wish away but so much happens in those days! It is a lesson in living our lives for today and thanking God for the joys of each minute He gives us to live.
