5 months old!

Wyatt has had a big month!

He ate his first veggies and we haven't found a vegetable or fruit that he doesn't like!

So far he has had carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, green peas, green beans, apple sauce, and peaches.  He doesn't like the consistency of the Stage 1 so we mix it with his oatmeal to really thicken it up or give him stage 2.
Right now his feeding schedule is:
6 am - 7.5 oz
8:30 - 9:00 am -  7.5 oz and 2 TB cereal w/1/2 jar of fruit or veggies
12:30 - 7.5 oz and 2 TB cereal w/1/2 jar of fruit or veggies
3:30 - 4:00 pm - 7.5 oz
6:30 - 7:00 pm - 7.5 oz and 2 TB cereal w/1/2 jar of fruit or veggies


He naps from 9 - 10 and 1 - 3.  We had a rough month with the sleeping at night.  It started with him pooping several times a night and then it just became a habit to wake up.  So we started to break him of it towards the end and I think we are going to be back to sleeping solidly quickly.

Wyatt also sprouted his first two teeth!!  I couldn't believe it but it sure did explain all of the drooling and poops!!  He is still drooling like a maniac so I figure another couple of teeth are going to be making an entrance soon.

Our big boy has started sitting up by himself and has gotten pretty steady but he still only lasts for a minute or so and then topples so I have to make sure he is on the padded carpet and not the wood floors when I let him go.  He has also gotten really good about moving across the floor, he isn't crawling yet but definitely getting closer and closer.



His favorite thing to do right now is grab things off of the table and either put them in his mouth or throw them on the floor.  This was especially evident at a trip to Chick Fil A a couple of weeks ago.  We had set the tray down on the table and were getting his food out of the bag when all of the sudden, WHAP! There went the entire tray of food onto the floor.  Apparently he was showing his displeasure with the food situation.  You can tell he wants to eat regular food SO bad!!

Another favorite activity for him is bath time!  This baby LOVES the water!!  Recently we have started letting him bathe with Gavin, and let me tell you that is an activity that takes 100% of both of us. Wyatt loves the water so much that all he wants to do is move around so one of us has to hold him under the arms while the other washes.  Clay has started letting him "float" on his back.  He gets so incredibly excited it is hilarious!  He starts flapping his arms and kicking his legs and then makes the funniest face when he accidentally splashes himself with water.  I keep meaning to get a video of it, but haven't yet.  

He is still the sweetest baby and loves to give hugs and open mouth kisses.  He is also super fond of yanking on my hair and then refusing to let go.... guess he just likes to make sure I'm not going anywhere.
