Big man on the couch

It's very hard to believe that Wyatt is already 6 months old. Aside from the fact that he is now huge (the newborn next door is severely dwarfed by Wyatt), so many developmental changes amaze us everyday. From batting at toys to learning to reach out and grab them, from quiet to talkative and making various vowel and consonant sounds, from hating being on his belly to propping himself up to look around and then rolling over to his back. There are so many changes happening as the weeks go by. He's also found his feet and whenever he's on his back, Wyatt usually has one or both feet pulled up and in his hands. This also causes a very strange movement as he tends to roll to one side when both feet are raised. He then loses hold of his feet and ends up slightly turned from his original position. Without realizing it, you can lay him down facing one direction and look down later to see he's turned 180 degrees. And now there's also the hitting of toys and flapping of toys around in the air (sometimes hitting himself in the noggin). As you can see from the pictures in his the previous blog, there is also now a very serious look on his face as he plays with his toys and gnaws on them. It's a hilarious intensity that cracks us up!

As you can see from the photos, Wyatt is also sitting up fairly well. He still can't completely sit on his own, but when we sit with him, he does very well maintaining balance. There are face plants now and then as he reaches for a toy, but he's definitely improving. He hasn't mastered crawling yet either, but he manages to move backwards and turn sideways.
