My Wyatt is no longer a newborn.
I tried to deny it.
It all started Sunday at Church when I was holding him and half a dozen women stopped me in the hall and gushed at how big he was getting.
Really? You think? I was kinda surprised…shocked even. There’s no way he is that big…right?
I’m lucky. I get to see him every second of every day. And yes, he is obviously getting bigger, but isn’t he still my newborn? I’ve been in denial all week about it. How did this happen?
When did he start chuckling, making high-peeched squeals, and laughing?
When did he start opening his hands rather than them being in little fists all the time?
When did he start holding his head up while on his tummy, and better yet, laying it down rather than letting it fall?
When did he start grabbing at things and bringing them to his mouth?
When did he start taking an interest in toys and wave his arms?
When did he start holding his head sturdy when sitting on my lap?
When did he start cooing at himself when he catches a glimpse in front of the mirror?
When did he start recognizing my voice before he even saw me?
When did all this happen? I guess I came to the dark realization today when I was talking to my twin sister, Jamie, who doesn’t have the chance to see Wyatt as much as everyone else in my family, and I started our conversation off by saying, “He’s getting so big”.

Oh my glory Bryn he is so so adorable! Thank you for putting a head shot up for me! He's got some good little cheeks on him! I do not remember Dax having full cheeks like that! I love Wyatt! He just looks so sweet in that picture! Kiss those cheeks lots for me okay? I love you guys!
Does that mean you are ready for another one??? =) Just teasing. He is getting so big, and so cute. What a cute, little face he's got.
I want him!!!!
I remember crying when I noticed that McCoy no longer had a newborn face. It was devestating to me. I guess thats why mom's always have more children. Its hard to not crave that little cluddly newborn!! I guess thats also the reason its so important to cherish every single moment, noise, cry and coo of a newborn baby because its not too long before they are big! Great post!
That is a precious picture of him. I haven't seem him in so long. And when I did see him last I didn't even get to hold him. We need to see you guys soon.
What a fabulous picture taker you are becoming little Mrs. Brynie!! I'm so glad I got to finally meet him and kiss those cheeks!! We miss you guys already soooo much!! Love ya
I love that picture. Oh, isn't it really sad when they leave the newborn stage. I guess it is good in that you might be getting a little more sleep . . .but they are not that tiny little baby either. But, he is darling and I love that you are are just loving every moment of his life!
