where has the time gone?

today, september 2nd, 2009, wyatt turned 8 months! and what comes with this 8 month birthday you ask??? how about 2 teeth, crawling all over the place, talking our ears off, cruising wherever he can get a good grip on something and standing for half hours on end! so here are a few videos of some momentous occasions...

video footage!

ok. i know. it's been way too long since our last post. it's just such a chore to sit in front of the computer. so this one will be a short one. wyatt just started crawling the other day! it's a short video, but you get the gist. and the other is just cause he's so darn cute when he laughs! and not only that, but check out how great he is at standing on his own in his crib!

5 1/2 months!

i don't know how this happened, but wyatt is almost half a year old already! he is the most beautiful creature on earth, and we spend a lot of time just staring at him and trying our hardest to make him laugh. truly an angelic sound. silly though that may be, i can't think of a more beautiful sound. so...here are a few long awaited pictures. we've got first food, first wedding, first car trip, first amos meeting, first bottle holding, first front porch swinging...the list goes on. i'll do my best to update this more often. we've gotten a few cute videos and sound clips, so i'll try to put more of those up soon. thank you for checking in to read about wyatt. i've just now noticed the beautiful comments on our other postings. so thank you for reading!

food!

ok. i'm obviously terrible at keeping a blog, but figured this was too big to leave out. i'll log on someday soon and post some new pictures. he's 5 months already and getting huge. but...on to the good stuff. we tried feeding him bananas the other day, and it was really exciting. at least for us. so here's a video of it so you can feel like you were there too:)

smiley jones

here are some cute pictures of our little chubby smiling boy! who knew he would get so chubby so fast??!! we had a midwife appointment last night (monday the 9th)(sadly, our last midwife appointment; though they have asked us to visit often!), and i was able to weigh wyatt on a baby scale. he is five weeks old and already weighs 10.7 oz!!! he's going to be a little chunker and we can't wait!

family time

i will add family pictures as i get them, but here are a few to get started...

finally, an update!

i'm sorry that this page doesn't look very professional. *sigh* maybe someday i'll ask for some help to clean it up. in the meantime, apparently the text will bleed into the pictures and the pictures will show up all over the place. anyway, it's officially been one month! my mom and i celebrated his birthday yesterday by getting some oreo pie at eat n park. what better way to celebrate:) it's been quite an amazing month. wyatt is our perfect angel. he's a pretty decent sleeper. we've gotten between 2 hours and 4.5 hours of sleep at a time each night. it was a bit of an adjustment at first, but now it's not so bad. no matter how bad a night we have, waking up to his beautiful face in the morning makes up for any lack of sleep. plus when he cries, it's so adorable that our annoyance doesn't last long. we've had a lot of visitors over the past few weeks and it's been so thrilling introducing him to friends and family. i know i'm biased, but everyone agrees that he's positively gorgeous. spitting image of his dad. we've been getting out regularly (despite the snowy weather) and are all feeling really good. we had a bunch of friends over for the superbowl on sunday (GO STILLERS!!!) and it felt good to host a party and share wyatt with everyone. he's been out to dinner and lunch a bunch of times and usually sleeps through the whole thing. i'm hoping to go back to work next week for a one day trial to see how it goes. he loves his binky (pacifier for those not down with my lingo) and took a bottle the other day and still is breastfeeding well, so it seems like that won't be a problem. besides me being lost by being away from him for a full 8 hours! wish us all luck with that one! he's starting to stare deep into our souls more and more, meaning he's able to focus on us and things around him, much to our liking. anyway, i could ramble on and on, but i'm sure pictures are more what you're looking for. so without further ado, here are about a million pictures...
