Last Sunday was Wyatt's 5 month birthday, and we celebrated with strained squash. No cake yet for the little guy, which is truly unfortunate for him....as he didn't seem real keen on the squash. This week he is on to carrots...and I still think he is holding out for the cheeseburgers before he shows signs of delight. Mostly he is trudging through rice cereal and orange paste, waiting on the delicious and refreshing bottle that quickly follows.

I weighed him on Friday over at my grandparents house. He seems like a ton, but he has only gained 2 lbs since his last doctor visit last month. Today he practiced sitting up...and we've been watching with anticipation for "the force to be with him" as he aspires to move in the general direction of his toys. As for now, he can spin, roll over and when he tries really hard...move backwards, and usually backs himself under furniture. He pretty much thinks its old hat picking up his pacifier and moving it to his mouth these days. Now we just wish he could find it when he wakes up at night in his crib. Last few days have been hard ones. We don't know what is going on with him....but he is waking up more now than ever it seems. I'm so tired, I'll make a mistake once and while trying to undo it, do it again.


One last note those of you who know David will appreciate...Wyatt experienced his first football game this weekend. Mostly the experience was in trying to understand why Daddy was SCREAMING all of a sudden!! The Aggies beat some other team in triple overtime. I tried to tell him it was alright, and that "yes indeed your father is crazy." He'll soon think its normal I'm sure, but this weekend his eyes were wide with concern.

Cowboys are playing now, and while it is reasonably quiet up here...I am going to take advantage of an early night of rest. Night night termites!

P.S. Happy first Grandparents Day to all six of Wyatt's first time grandparents, and to Mema & Pops, his first time great grandparents! Cici says everyday is a celebration with him. I agree!

Those pictures are all beautiful, but the one of Dave & Wyatt took my breath away, literally!

Anna was a big fan of the orange veggies, esp. sweet potatoes (which are dead easy to make at home, btw, if he likes them). She ate so many orange things she took on a lovely golden hue.

I remember my kiddoes sleeping poorly whenever they got to a new developmental stage. Just remember, as tough as it is, the longer you let him cry and struggle, the sooner he'll learn to find the pacifier (or do whatever it is that soothes him on his own). Except that your skin will crawl the whole time he is crying, of course....
