Wow, our little baby is really a functioning human now and it is so fun to watch. Between a nice regular schedule, his happy personality and now his ever increasing super powers and it is such a pleasure to get to spend time with him.
Crawling – Wyatt is very self-motivated to move! It is fun watching him want to move. Logan was a little slower in things but Wyatt is in a much bigger hurry. I think it is partly that he has been happier just being on his tummy and playing than logan every was, the fact that he weighs significant less than logan did at this size, and also because he wants to be like his brother. He isn’t quite cross-crawling yet, but as of exactly his 8 month birthday (8/11) he can move forward consistently when he wants to. The whole week before each day he would get a little better. He consistently gets up on all fours, but he would often scoot backwards and each day he got a little better until the 11th when he was consistent about going forward. He also still rolls freely and can get across the room in seconds if motivated to get something. It is fun to see him enjoying his new freedom and abilities. He likes to stand and it will be interesting to see when he picks up more balance or starts wanting to cruise. Probably will be soon!
Eating lots of food – loves to pick up puffs, blueberries, peas, etc. He is an enthusiastic eater. He knows what his bottles look like too and he will lose his marbles if he is hungry and sees one. He also knows me as a food source and will cry when I come out to get my lunch near his food time.
Playing with toys (chewing on everything) – He is very skilled at flipping toys around and doing everything he wants with them. His favorite toys are anything he can chew on and anything Logan has. Bonus if it is 2/2. Logan gets a little annoyed, but wyatt is determined. Wyatt will yell at us if we try to take away a toy he worked hard to get (we only take away when chokeable), but of course those are the ones he is SOOOO drawn too.
Took his first plane trip and did great on the trip. He was a pretty easy baby. He nursed to sleep and slept pretty well. It took a little bit of an adjustment, but overall he did well. He enjoyed the family, the sites, and the toys. He was great on the plane and in the car. It was interesting
Sleeping – He is generally a pretty good sleeper and on a good schedule. He still eats too much for my taste at night, but he is overall stable and I think stability gives me sanity more than anything else. Charles has recently started doing one bottle a night and that helps me get a little more sleep.
Talking – Wyatt likes talking and making noises. He seems to be saying “mama” pretty consistently when he wants food (aka me). Several people have pointed out that it seems purposeful but who knows.
Can’t wait to see what this little mover and shaker will be doing at 10 months and I can’t wait to hear his little voice say more words.
