5 Months Old!

Wyatt is 5 months old and weighs over 19 lbs!

This last month has been more and more fun with Wyatt. He now giggles and smiles a ton! And what has helped with that is a new sleep schedule -it was rough at first, but after a couple days he caught on and started sleeping like a champ. He still likes his white noise and being "rocked to sleep" on his bouncy ball - but no more three hour long dance parties lasting until 11 pm. Wyatt now usually goes to bed at 7pm after a 30 minute bedtime routine including his stories and singing. It is now a really sweet part of his day!

Wyatt has also begun needing to put EVERYTHING in his mouth! From whatever Mom and Dad have in their hands (including glasses) to all his toys and books. It has made reading a challenge, but he eventually got over the fact that we won't let him put them in his mouth and has instead started to turn the pages for us when we read. It is awesome to see Wyatt so interactive.

Unfortunately - Wyatt did catch his first cold - a nasty cough that lasted for two weeks. We had suck out the snot of his nose twice a day which was not fun (especially since it was during a family vacation). But, it was good Paul and I had off to take care of him ourselves. The funny thing was that he kept gaining weight even through the illness. And it didn't ruin his mood either - he stayed happy - smiling often for us and giggling at his 5 year old Aunt Lucia!
