9 months and 1 week




Wow Wyatt. You are all over the place now. I can't believe the changes that seem to happen over night. Literally. Ok we had your first Halloween. Your Gammy, (she still doesn't know what she prefers to be called since grandma is way too old sounding!) made you and Gage cowboy costumes and Addison was a cowgirl. Gage decided to sleep through the festivities so you and Addison hit up a couple houses together. Very cute but you got tired quickly so we went home and dumped our candy on the table for you to play with so we could get a photo.

You are doing so much I don't know where to begin! Crawling happened at 8 1/2 months although you still prefer to army crawl for the most part since its faster. You pull yourself up onto everything so you can stand. Your balance is pretty good but once in a while you'll fall back on your butt and laugh. Oh that laugh melts my heart! You are still babbling alot but its safe to say your first word was ma ma. Of course it was. You only say it when I walk away from you or when your crying. But I still love hearing it. You say da da alot. You are very into hanging with your dad outside or in the garage. You are the definition of boy. You get into whatever you can. You flip your toys over and scratch at the screws. You sit at the front glass door and bang on it and stare outside. You still love being in your stroller no matter where we go. You play with the door stopper to hear boing boing boing. You get really excited to eat, its your favorite time. For the longest time I was scared to give you anything that wasn't pureed but as of 3 weeks ago you eat pretty much everything we do. You love chicken and steak and mac n cheese and veggies and fruit. Yes you love fresh steamed veggies much to my delight! Still working on eggs. Your most favorite thing to eat though is string cheese. You love cheese like we do. Figures. You clap and scream to be funny. You love taking a bath. You flip over any toy with wheels on it so you can spin them. It is pretty funny. You are not liking diaper changes or getting dressed. You kick your legs all over so I end up giving you a comb or something so I can get the job done. You always pay close attention when I'm trying to teach you something. You are trying to say dog. I'm probably leaving something out but thats a good update for now.

Your dad and I enjoy watching you grow and are excited for all your firsts. Walking, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and your first Birthday. We are trying to come up with our own traditions for all the holidays to make them special for you. We love seeing your face light up wether its for food or when one of us walks in the door. Soon you will see your first Christmas tree. How exciting! I love you so much Wyatt. I love that you grab my cheeks and give me slobbery kisses. I love that you like to scream and bang on your highchair cause you're so excited to eat. I love that you smile constantly even when you are sleeping. I love that you still need me all the time. I simply love my cowboy Wyatt. Love Mom

-Oh ya! You got your first bloody nose. You tried to pull yourself up using a chair and it ended up on top of you. Poor guy. You did laugh at the picture though.
