The blog updates have hit a small wall recently. It's slightly amazing how much more time Wyatt occupies as he gets older. He's gone from sleeping a lot to playing and wanting to be entertained. So, that is what we've been up to. Back to Feb and Wyatt is almost 9months old. Seriously, 9 months old!!! I was pregnant a year ago and hopelessly anticipating the arrival of May and our son. Now, he's here and life is insane.
In November, Wyatt and I joined the local MyGym for an 8 week membership. MyGym is one of several chains of companies that promote activity and development for infants/toddler/kids. We went once a week and played. At his age, there were numerous physical development milestone activities: hanging from a trapeze, parental assisted flips, stretching, balance, core muscle development, etc. Plus, it was a great way for Wyatt to socialize with some other infants.
He also has 2 teeth now! The song request was answered and he got his 2 front teeth over the holidays. It seemed to take months for them to finally break through, but they are here now and are wicked sharp. With the slight personality and mood change we've noticed, it seems that early stages of teething for his next teethies has started.
We survived our first head cold, which took 2 weeks! Those were fun nights!
Wyatt loves to stand. Whether we hold him standing or he stands holding onto something, he loves it. A favorite place is in his pac n play. I can stand him up and let him hold onto a rail and he loves it. For quite long stretches at a time he stands and bounces and chews on the side rail. James and I were shocked and impressed when Wyatt reached to his side, grabbing the changing table with one hand, ten the other, and then turned his feet so his whole body is turned 90 degrees. It's unbelievable!! Holding his arms and standing, Wyatt will start to move his legs in a walking manner.
Sounds are also developing. Momma and dadda can definitely be heart, but he hasn't associated one of the words with either of us yet. Mum, mumma, can also be heard.
