4 Months, Already??

I know my last post was Wade's three month update but, as usual, I haven't posted anything for a few weeks and it is already time to share his fourth month with the world.  Last week we had his four month doc visit and were given a clean bill of health.  Our "little" boy, if you can call him that, is still happily residing in the 90-95% for his height and weight.  He is now 15 lbs, 11 ozs and 26.5" long.  He is going to be big and tall, just like his dad.  There are no teeth coming in yet, but we were also told that rice cereal can be started anytime.  That should be a fun new experience for us all.

I know I am starting to sound like a broken record month after month, but we continue to be blessed with the sweetest, happiest baby on earth.  Wade is still all smiles and now even laughs out loud when you tickle his belly or sides.  It is so sweet to hear his giggles.

Thank you, Wade, for bringing so much joy into our lives the last four months.  What was life like before you were here?  Heck, if I remember.

Happy four months sweet baby!

The Third Months a Charm

I know that I am a little bit late in posting this one as Wade is now halfway through his third month, but better late than never, right?

These last few weeks with Wade have been so so much fun.  He is just developing the best personality and is still the happiest baby in the world.  There are so few times that he gets upset during the day and usually if we feed him or put him down for a nap his world (and ours) goes back to its happy 'ole standard pretty quickly. 

Since we didn't have a doctor's appointment this month, I have no idea what his stats are as far as weight and length.  I do know that right now most 3 month clothes are too small.  For the most part we are putting our little guy in 3-6 or 6 month outfits so I don't think he is missing out on too many meals.  One of the hardest things about him growing so quickly is having to pack up the clothes that don't fit him anymore.  How is it possible that I have given away what feels like a ton of stuff to friends and family and I still have bags of clothes that Wade can't wear.  It is just so sad to think that he will NEVER wear them again.  It just doesn't seem like he has been around long enough to be outgrowing so many things.

Wade is also getting so good at grabbing his toys, burp cloths, our fingers or anything else within his reach.  And whatever it is he manages to get in his little hands immediately goes directly into his mouth! Sometimes I cringe at what he is chewing on thinking that can't taste or feel good to him but it never seems to phase him.  There is also an incredible amount of drool that seems to constantly be streaming from his mouth.  And again, I think sitting all day with a soaking wet shirt can't be comfortable, but what can I do?  I can't change his clothes 13 times a day just so he stays dry.

We haven't seen any rolling over yet but Wade is getting good at grabbing his toes, rolling into a ball and hurling himself onto his side.  I guess you could say he is halfway there.  I think Chris would like to see him reach this milestone, but I keep reminding him that once that starts, there is no going back.  Our lives will be very different with Wade when that finally happens.  We will no longer have the freedom to lay him wherever we want and know that he will stay right where we left him.  So, for that reason, I can wait a little longer for the good times to roll.

To wrap this up I will leave you with a couple pics of the little man during his third month...

You talkin' to me?

Holding his head up.  Such a strong boy!

Happy 3 months sweet baby!

Are You Ready For Some Football?!?

It is finally September.  That means fall, cooler temperatures, kids going back to school and best of all FOOTBALL!  Here in the Wyatt house, we are huge fans of this great American sport.  In our household it is still matter of debate which is better...college or pro.  Either way, the only thing our TVs are tuned into on Saturdays and Sundays this time of year is sports and the myriad of games available for viewing.

Be it The Cowboys, Baylor or Arkansas, starting tomorrow we will be loyally cheering on our favorite team.  This year we will also have great fun grooming our newest addition to be their next biggest fan.  Which do you think he'll say first:  WOOO PIG SOOOIE! or SIC'EM BEARS!...
