Wyatt is 6 months old! Wyatt is 6 months old!!!! I have to say it twice to believe it.
Yesterday we had Wyatt’s 6-month check and he is tall and skinny just like Dax was. He weighs a whopping 15 1/2 pounds (10th percentile) and is 27 inches tall (75th percentile). He has officially found his tongue and loves to stick it out and blow raspberries. He talks and squeals and get this, scoots! He can get to anything he wants now by rolling and scooting. He just wants to get down and play when anyone is holding him. He is king at arching his back, something that is NOT my favorite when they learn. He is over his baby rings and soft chewy toys. He wants Dax’s trains and dinosaurs. He grabs at everything---yanking the toothbrush out of my mouth and sticking his fist in a spoonful of food on the way to my mouth. He giggles and laughs and loves to be in the pool (thank goodness). He is a getting so big and is as happy as can be!
I can tell that Dax is realizing that he is getting bigger too. Wyatt managed to get over to his tower of checkers and knock it over the other day. And this morning, Wyatt grabbed onto Dax’s shirt with a death grip and Dax couldn’t even pry his fingers off. How do you explain that Wyatt is still a little baby for some things, and doesn’t purposely knock over his tower, but is getting so big all at the same time?
I find myself saying these things to Dax all the time,
“Wyatt is still too little to wrestle with” but, “Wyatt is too big for you to carry”.
And Dax, “Wyatt is still too little to play with certain toys”, but “Wyatt is big enough to play with other certain toys that you now must learn to share”.
Oh, and Dax, “Wyatt is big enough to eat cereal, but not big enough to eat your kind of cereal, only his own special cereal so don’t try and feed him.”
And, “Wyatt knows how to grab onto things, but hasn’t yet learned how to let go, hence the death grip on your pajamas this morning.”
Seriously, this is not logical. Dax looks at me like I’m not making sense, and I can see how in his little world this doesn’t make any sense at all!
I guess for now I’m going to enjoy the things that still make Wyatt little to me. Like burying his head in my neck when I’m singing to him before he goes to bed. And how he sleeps with his little bum in the air. And the way his face scrunches up when he cries and the silly sounds he manages to make. And the way he pumps his leg when he gets excited.. or mad.

For now, I’m just going to have to enjoy all these little things, because each day, no matter what I do, he's getting bigger.

Oh Bryn! So cute! I love your blog because it is preparing me for October! Way cute pictures by the way! There was some saying that the finger prints get higher and higher and one day are gone...so sad that our little ones get big! Although I must say, I am enjoying Madison right now more then I could ever imagine....
He is so cute. I can't believe how big he is! I know that he and Dax are going to be great friends.
So sweet Bryn. I am probably the only person that will say this, so what does that say about me....I absolutely love the little vans Wyatt is wearing. They are the cutest shoes I have seen in a long long time!!!
I cannot believe he is already 6 months either!! That has gone by so quickly. Seriously, how does that happen. Those pictures at the beginning are so cute. I love his little tongue sticking out. He has such beautiful big eyes too. I love them!!
I love his faces. What a cutie pie. I loved the boys in green the other night. It might take awhile, but there will be a time that they will be best friends. Yahoo, what a great day that will be.
Oh i just can't wait to kiss that face of Wyatts...he is just too cute!!! Well see ya soon!!
What a cute little stinker! He is adorable and he is looking more and more like Dax! I cant believe how big he is already! 6 months!! Crazy! Love the post as always, you have a great way of expressing yourself, I hope you have it all written down in a book for your boys to read later on!
It is so fun for me to read your blog and see how you verbalize how I am feeling about my baby boy. Wyatt is so cute!
LOVE you post always. He is getting bigger-he is such a little man! TOO cute!
I can't believe our boys are already 6 months! Time goes by so fast. It seems like forever since I have seen you. We just got back from Utah and Beth said you just left. Let's get together when you get home.
I know you're gone, but this little man was the sweetest boy I've ever encountered! Adorable! I miss you already! I can't wait to see you again soon!
