2 Months

Wyatt's 2 month stats:

Weight: 13 lbs 7 oz (87th percentile)

Length: 24.5 in (94th percentile)

OFC: 39 cm (28th percentile)

How did he get so big??!  Wyatt is growing so fast and changing every day it seems!  He is meeting all of his developmental milestones so far and still eating like a champ!  He is full of smiles and laughs most of the time.  He likes being snuggled, talked to, going for walks in his stroller, watching the TV (yikes!), sitting in his vibrating seat, and kicking his legs!  We feel very lucky and blessed to have such a healthy, easygoing little man with the most kissable cheeks!!

In other news, this is my last week of maternity leave.  I start back to work next Tues.  I will be working 3 12-hr night shifts every week so Derek gets full-time Daddy duty at night, then Wyatt will go to Grandpa's house during the day while I sleep.  I am nervous and sad to leave him but know that he will be in good hands.  Hoping for a smooth transition for all of us! 

Rolling

Last Friday on Wyatt's 8-week birthday, he rolled for the first time from his belly to his back during tummy time. I am not sure that it was intentional at the time, I think he was trying to get away from the dogs licking him in the face! He did it twice right in a row then didn't do it again for several days. When he finally did it again this week, I didn't quite have the camera ready but was quick enough to catch the end of it on video. You can't tell from the video, but he did start out on his belly, I promise! :)

This is what he looked like before rolling. I think he was trying to do it again but just couldn't quite do it! Rolling is hard work!

Photo Session

I was only planning to have Wyatt's picture taken professionally every three months, but he has already changed and grown so much since his newborn pics that I just couldn't wait any longer!  I decided to try out Portrait Innovations in an effort to not spend a fortune.  It kinda worked :)  Overall, I am pretty happy with the way the pictures turned out.  I mean, they aren't as good as Randy's work but you get what you pay for, right!  The best part was that I had pictures in hand when leaving the studio and the price was reasonable for the massive amount of pictures I got!  They probably would have turned out better if Wyatt was being a little more cooperative too.  He has been so smiley lately when I talk to him so I thought for sure I would be able to get him to smile.  I was wrong :)  He was full of smiles at home before we left, so we tried to keep him awake in the car without success.  He fell asleep about 10 minutes before we got there.  Of course, they were ready for us as soon as we got to the studio, so he woke up to bright lights and a strange lady with a camera in his face.  He was not very happy.  I was able to get him to smile for about 2 pictures :)  Oh well, he is cute even when not smiling!  Guess we will just have to try again next month :)

   

Road Trip

Last weekend we took Wyatt on his first road trip to Saugatuck, Michigan.  It was about a 3 hr drive.  He did great in the car....slept most of the time.  We had a great time hanging out with friends!  The weather finally cooperated the last day we were there and Wyatt got to experience the beach for the first time.  He slept most of the time we were there too...I think he liked the sound of the waves!

Feet in the sand.  The water was a little too cold to put our feet in!

All the kids/babies on the trip.  Nolan, Julianna, Harper, Jacey, and Wyatt.  Can you believe that Wyatt is the youngest??
