Nap time?

Today I put Wyatt down for his morning nap...a little while later I heard him laughing and I heard a banging noise. I peeked into his room and this is what I saw:) Definitely not napping! What a stinker! I guess I need to find a new place for his hamper!

"Hammer-man" II?

I have heard of my husbands obsession with hammers when he was a kid...hitting things, people, etc. I am now wondering if our son has developed this same love for a hammer??? He has this little toy hammer that he carries everywhere! And he too, hits everything with it! His toys, the floor lamp, even the dog! It's quite funny...

Wyatt has really changed a lot this last month...I can't believe just how much! People always tell you they grow fast and now I believe it! Just in the last month he has started crawling, pulling himself up on things (he just stood up for daddy, mommy missed it!), he's getting his top two teeth in...I am just amazed at watching the process unfold...how incredible God is to have created us in such a neat way.

Here's a pic of Wyatt, in his crib, apparently wanting out...of course I had to snap a few pics first!:) He's also started sitting up in his crib in this last month...it was such a funny thing the first time I saw him do it:)

Wyatt's 9 month appointment

Wyatt finally had his 9 month appointment Friday. It had been cancelled last week, due to the "blizzard". Here are his stats:

Weight: 20 lbs. 8 oz. 50th percentile
Height: 28 3/4" 75th percentile

He is in great health! He had a cold the other week that seemed to last forever, but his Dr. said he sounds and looks great! I am definitely amazed at how quickly he changes...Within the last 2 weeks he went from rocking on his hands and knees to crawling all over and pulling up on his knees. Now he tries to get all his toys out of his basket by himself. Amazing. What a miracle God makes out of each of us. Every night when I see him in his crib I am amazed by how much he has grown in just 9 months...and I wonder what will he be like in another month, in a year, in 10 years...what will he become? I am so thankful for a God who is there with us every step of the way! I can't wait to see who Wyatt becomes!
For some additional enjoyment, I have included a video of Wyatt demonstrating his new way of playing with a toy that he got at Christmas time

9 months old today!

Wyatt is 9 months old! I have no idea how 9 months has passed already since we welcomed our sweet bundle of joy. Thinking back to that day, I can't believe how much he has changed...it's incredible to watch him grow and learn new things. It's so exciting to see him do something new!

Here are some recent pictures that describe a day in the life of Wyatt...
