And so it begins.......

Hello everyone. So sorry for the delay in blogging. Life is just keeping us busy. But that is no excuse for our faithful followers. Matt and I are having so much fun with this growing boy. He is getting close to 20 pounds and is almost 30 inches long. He is 7 months old now. Can you believe it? It is going by so fast. He is a big kid for his age. He's at the 90th percentile for his height. He's going to be tall like his daddy. We took him to the new aquarium here in Salt Lake yesterday. He actually paid pretty close attention to everything and lasted for about 45 minutes which we thought was good for his age. We get so excited to help him experience everything. Wyatt has gotten really good at reaching for things and thinking what is ours is his. He as already taking my car keys and the remote.......and so it begins.

Wyatt gets mugged!!!

Wyatts poor cheeks must have been so tired from all the kissing he received over the weekend. My family doesn't get to see him a lot so they made up for all the lost "kissing moments". Wyatt seemed not to mind too bad. He took it all in stride. One day, when he is a teenager, he will probably be mad at me for this picture. Here, he is being attacked on either side by his Aunt Chris and his Aunt Erin.

Wyatt and Colby

Wyatt and I went to Idaho over the weekend to visit family. Wyatt had a lot of people excited to see him but none more so than his cousin, Colby. Colby, who is 9, wants a little brother so bad. He carried Wyatt all over the place and Wyatt seemed to like him as much. It was very cute. This picture is of Wyatt and Colby laying on the floor playing.

Wyatt's little friend!!

Wyatt got to meet "Tickle me Elmo" yesterday. He was pretty taken with him. He smiled and smiled at him. I just thought I would throw this picture on the blog because it is so cute. Enjoy.

The "Gleed" in him is starting to come out!

In this picture, we are starting to see more and more Gleed in Wyatt. In fact, Matt feels there is more Gleed than Thornton at this point. He is starting to look a little like his cousin Colby and has a some features from his uncles and his Grandpa Gleed. It is so fun to see what he is ultimately going to look like!

Wyatt is trying really hard to get the "sitting up" thing mastered. He can do it for a few seconds but the abs tire out. I keep telling him he needs to start working his core for more endurance of this process but he is going to do his own thing. Welcome to parenthood! He got this computerized ball for Christmas and loves it. Here, he is 5.5 months old.

"I'm really not as serious as I look"

As you can tell, it is all fun and games in Wyatt's world. He is really getting into toys and playing. He also loves his Baby Einstein DVDs. It is amazing that a 5 month old can pay attention to a whole DVD....well they are geared for infants. He loves puppets. He is so fun to be around right now.
