8 months!

I like being silly!
(it seems like the picture should be turned 90 degrees but no this is just the way he was lying.)

I know that I'm a little late with this post but Wyatt is now 8 months old. And, since I've been keeping you updated about his teeth he cut his third tooth (2nd top tooth) on the 17th. There is now a tooth blister started for his 2nd bottom tooth so that won't be too far behind. This weekend the three of us ventured to my parent's house this weekend for the First Annual Bacon Family Reunion. It was pretty fun. I got to see quite a few of my relatives that I never knew I had. There were three babies under a year: Wyatt (8 months), another boy who was 7 months and a little girl who was 8.5 months. That will be more entertaining next year when they can all walk instead of wanting to sleep but refusing to do it (ie: they were kinda cranky). Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures from this weekend. The down side of going to Amherst for the weekend is that it is such a short time there for the amount of driving that is done. Also, Wyatt's schedule/routine gets all out of wack. So today he mostly slept (4 naps to his usual 2-3). He has also had a bit of a nose cold with a cough. He doesn't seem to be coughing as much anymore and I'm not continuously suctioning his nose so I think he's getting over it. That's about all for now.

I'm perfectly content on my belly, thank you very much!

Why DO they have to put the tags under things?

And now there are two!

Here's Wyatt getting some last minute pictures in with his Aunt Leslie (and Louie) before she goes back to Law School! We'll miss you!!




I'm sorry that it has been a little while but things have been pretty crazy for me. I work at a church with youth and confirmation. Since this is the beginning of the school year everything at church has been getting started. Anyway, things have been pretty good at home. Wyatt seems to be liking daycare. After the first couple days Wyatt started getting a runny nose. I figured it was to be expected starting daycare or that it was because he was teething again. Well I was right on one account for sure. On Thursday morning I saw that Wyatt had his second tooth!! The surprising thing was it wasn't his second bottom tooth. That's right, his second tooth is on the top just above his first tooth. Then today I was looking in his mouth and noticed that tooth # 3 and 4 might not be very far away either. The bad thing is that his runny nose has also turned into a bit of a cough. I feel so bad for him when he coughs because it sounds so bad.



As for movement, Wyatt seems pretty content to roll pretty much wherever he wants to go. I sometimes just see what he'll do when I put his knees up under him but he wants nothing to do with that. It almost seems like his belly is glued to the floor sometimes. I have included a few pictures of Waytt. The second one is of him lying on the floor with his feet crossed, he seems to like doing that. The third one, I was watching him play by himself and somehow he got his floor gym on top of himself. When I turned to get my camera he was able to get the gym propped up on his swing. Then he just started having the time of his life. He just giggled for about 5-10 minutes like that.

I'm just relaxing on the floor.

I'm playing under my gym because that's where the tag is.

Mmmm. Lunch was good!

Aunt Peggy, you did NOT just take my picture again!

Day Care

Yesterday was Wyatt's first day of day care. He seems to have done pretty well. They really seem to like him and say that he's a very laid back baby and is almost smiling. He likes to talk to them and play with the other babies. Oh yeah, he's in a day care center in River Falls and there are a number of other babies his age (3 are only a week younger than him). He seems to be adjusting pretty well.

When I had Wyatt on his belly this morning he tried to get his knees up under his butt. It seems like he might be on the forward move pretty soon. Sometimes if I put my hands on his feet he will push off and then he realizes that he can move forward that way. Other than that things have been pretty normal around here.

Here is a picture of Wyatt and a couple of the grandkids of one of the women that was watching Wyatt up until last week, Carolyn.
