Times They Are a'Changing

So much has been happening!

Wyatt is changing so fast it's making my head spin some days. He is starting to really look like a little boy sometimes and not a baby anymore. It makes me sad and excited at the same time. Those baby days don't last nearly long enough...I miss when he was a cuddly little newborn, content to lay wrapped against my chest all afternoon. Now he wants to crawl all over the place and play and explore!

Which is one of the biggest changes...he's almost crawling! He does this weird little army scoot right now that is pretty effective, but I think he is going to be doing real crawling soon. His little knees have like permanent rug burn from scooting around all day. :)

He's also sitting up on his own! And not just the leaning over hands on the ground sitting up but full on straight back sitting like a big boy.

We discovered that he really likes the show Jack's Big Music Show. There is obviously a lot of music in it and he has always loved music and sometimes when he's watching it he will laugh at the puppets. It freaked me out the first time he did it cause I wasn't sure what he was laughing at and then realized he was actually paying attention to the guys on the TV. No worries though he has a limited amount of time in front of the dreaded brain boiling box.

It's amazing to see how he anticipates things now. I was tickling him the other day and he would start to laugh as soon as I put my hands up and before I even touched him. He knew what was coming and would start to laugh hysterically.

I have started to think about his birthday already too. He's 7 months old! Yes there is still a good amount of time before he turns one, but I am preparing myself already. It's another exciting but sad time. By then he will be walking and talking a little, he'll be able to smash a cake up and help open his presents. Plus there is the issue of birthdays in general...I didn't celebrate mine till I was 9 and never have much fun on my birthday, it's usually a disappointment, so birthdays just aren't that important to me. But I want Wyatt to have that special day, to feel special on the day he was born. So I have to get past my own issues and create something special for him.

Man, it's been a crazy adventure so far, but so worth every second. Wyatt is starting to kind of give hugs and kisses...which means he's basically strangling you and slobbering all over your face, but it's still sweet. I can't wait for when he can tell me he loves me and he missed me while I was at work and relate all the important things he's done all day.
