Yum!?

Wyatt tried rice cereal for the first time this week!  I think most of it ended up on his bib, but he did manage to swallow a little of it :)  He would open his mouth wide for the spoon, then wasn't too sure what to do once the cereal was in his mouth.  The second time we tried it was more successful!  He was even grabbing my hand with the spoon and putting in toward his mouth...I have a feeling he is really going to like mealtime once he gets it all figured out (and gets something a little tastier)!

 

4 Months

Wyatt's 4 month stats:

Weight: 16 lbs 2.5 oz (76%)

Length: 26.5 in (86%)

Head Circumference: 16.5 in (44%)

The doctor says he is very healthy and strong!  He was a trooper for his shots as usual...cried for a minute then was back to smiling and flirting with the nurse in no time :)  The doctor also gave us the go ahead to try feeding him some rice cereal, so we will be trying that soon!!

Wyatt is learning new things and changing every day it seems.  Some of the things he likes/does now:

-sleeping in his own crib!

-loves to jump in the jumparoo and on your lap

-sits with support for short periods, although he prefers to stand!

-likes to cuddle with his lovey, especially when he is sleepy

-reaches out and grabs his toys and usually puts them right in his mouth

-loves lights and music

-laughs and squeals when he gets excited

-likes to pull hair...mine and the dogs (luckily it is usually Dylan that he gets a hold of and she doesn't mind)

-he is now wearing mostly 6-9 month sleepers because he is so long!

The look on his face here cracks me up!  He loves this bear that is on his jumperoo and also loves chewing on his fingers :)

Jump

Wyatt got some new hand-me-down toys this weekend (thanks Aunt Aunt Dawn and Uncle Uncle David!) He really loves the jumparoo! He goes crazy in that thing! It is so funny to watch and really wears him out! Here is some video of him in the jumparoo.

So, I am slightly electronically challenged and can't figure out how to get blogger to flip this video. Guess you will just have to turn your head sideways :) Any tips??

Zoo

On Saturday, the weather was perfect for our first trip to the zoo.  We met up with some friends and had a good time seeing all the animals.  It was busy, but Wyatt was a trooper.  The only animal he really paid attention to was the goats!  One came up close to him and he reached out to pet him.  He probably thought it was just a big dog :)  Here are some pictures from our trip!

Look at those giraffes!

Just thought this picture was too cute to not share :)

Boys

My 2 favorite boys wearing matching hoodies!  I just love this picture!  I am one lucky lady to have these handsome guys :)

Monkey

We celebrated Wyatt's first Halloween on Saturday.  He dressed up like a monkey.  We trick or treated to the neighbors' house and to Granny and Pappy's.  Wyatt was not sure what to think about the whole situation.  He was not real into having his picture taken in his costume and really just wanted to take a nap!  He made an awfully cute monkey though :)
Last year on Halloween we had just found out we were pregnant.  Hard to believe how much your life can change in a year, but what a great year it has been!  We are so blessed and can't wait to see what the next year brings!!
