Wyatt is 6 months old!

So, that is totally, like, half of a year!  I know, right?  Weird! 

We are a little sad that 6 months has flown by as fast as it has.  We try so very hard to soak up every moment...but it's hard when our full-time job can't be playing with our son.  Wouldn't that be great, though?  I would love to be paid to take care of my kid(s)...or if someone wanted to pay me...but I digress...

I had a little photo shoot the day he turned six months (April 29).  We went to the doctor for his check up at 6.5 months.  He is about 27.5 inches long in the 75th percentile.  His head is also in the 75th percentile, but I forget how many inches.  His weight, however, is somewhat puzzling - he weighed 15 lbs. 12 oz. and was in the 10th percentile.  The chart showed that he actually lost 2 ounces since his last visit.  Totally wierd.  But he DOES eat, that much I can tell you.

Wyatt has started eating more and more solid foods.  He loves rice cereal.  He likes carrots, green beans, mango, sweet potato, peas, and berries.  He dislikes banana and pureed meats (ham, so far).  We also started feeding him in his booster seat rather than his bumbo.  He is too strong to eat from the bumbo, he can scoot it all around the table - not safe! 

Wyatt can also sit up pretty well on his own without falling over too much.  If he does fall, it's backwards and he lands on his head.  We just put a pillow behind him to brace the fall.  We introduced the ball to him recently.  We couldn't believe that we waited this long to do so!  He LOVED it!  Of course, that means that Cameron was loving it too.  In Cam's mind the fact that Wyatt loved the ball means he will automatically be the best basketball player ever!  Yeah, we'll see.

Wyatt also said "mama" the day he turned 6 months.  I have 2 witnesses!  I told him to say "mama" and right after that, sure enough, he said mama!  However, he hasn't said it since.  So it was probably a fluke.  I am still going to claim it :)

Wyatt also cut his first tooth at 6.5 months!  It is his lower front left tooth.  Man those suckers are sharp!  The right one isn't far behind.  I give it 3 weeks, tops.
