This week Wyatt and I went to my parent's house and spent a couple days with them and my brother. We had quite a bit of fun. My brother hasn't seen Wyatt since he was 3 months old so he enjoyed seeing how much Wyatt could do now compared to then. We got to visit with great-Grandma Onan and I was able to see my cousin Olivia and meet her 3 week old daughter, Ebrielle. I decided that Wyatt couldn't come because he has a bit of a cold and I didn't want to expose Ebrielle to that. My parents also have a few goats and one of them had a couple of kids a little while ago so Wyatt got to meet them as well. I think he was preoccupied with all the clothes we had him in to notice the kids much. The only thing I would have changed was all of the dog barking didn't allow Wyatt to get the quality of naps that he's used to so he got a bit cranky by the end of the two days.

The other news that we have is that Wyatt cut his 5th tooth on Saturday and then he turned 10 months old on Monday. He may not be crawling "normally" but he sure is perfecting his army crawl and can get wherever he wants to go pretty quickly.

I'm coming to get your camera mom!

It was kinda cold but the kid was pretty cool.

Stats update

Just thought we'd let you know that Wyatt had his 9 month doctor's appointment on Tuesday. That means some more weighing, measuring and shots. Wyatt weighs 19 lbs. 6 oz. which is 40%; head circumference was 17.5 inches which was also 40% (his head is getting bigger at 6 months he was only in the 25%); and he was 29.5 inches tall which was again 85%. All in all he's growing exactly how he should be. He only had to get 3 shots (one of which was a flu shot) and he did extremely well for them. He started screaming after the first poke but by the time the nurse was done he had already stopped screaming. So it was another good doctor's appointment.

One cute cow!

Here are some pictures from this last week. Wyatt is learning so much everyday. My guess is that he will be crawling in the next couple of weeks. He has started pulling his knees under him for a split second before plopping forward. Then he has also started really jabbering. It sounds like he is saying "bop" over and over. I've been trying to figure out what he might be talking about (a book, bye-bye, etc) but he says it for anything he might be holding at the time. Another thing that Wyatt has begun doing is trying to figure our how to get his toys out of his "toy-box" (see pictures). Then for Wyatt's first Halloween I made him a little cow costume. He actually didn't seem to mind it too much. Bert and I took him "trick-or-treating" to the UW River Falls campus and went to about a dozen or so rooms. We basically went out for us to show off our cute cow.

Wyatt also wanted to say thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Onan (and mom) for the pumpkins.

I'm not so sure about sitting on this step.Ah, this is better.

I think I'm ready for a nap mom.

How do I choose...

what to pull out next?

You don't need your ear, do you dad?

Hold still Hawk, this won't hurt a bit.
