Our Mobile Little Man

Even my diaper looks good.

Wyatt is so much fun these days.  He is crawling and so exciting to be around.  He has to be the most exceptional baby ever!!! 

I went to visit the Hamilton crew a couple weeks ago.  We flew into Dayton and stayed in Springfield a couple of days to meet up Great Grandma and had a little BBQ for Wyatt's debut. 

It was really nice to come see everyone and meet the other new babies.  We still haven't made it to southern Ohio, my home, but we will eventually be able to come stay long enough to really see all my friends and crick family.

  

Wyatt eats baby food now too.  His favorite is sweet potatoes, and he really makes a funny face with any kind of green vegetable but sweet peas are working out okay.  Mom stayed with us a few days and noticed he has mini tantrums.  He kicks his feet sometimes when I put him in the car seat, and he started slamming his hands down when I was feeding him peas yesterday.  I was really funny, and I blasted out laughing so he did it for at least 10 minutes.  I love how babies' come with little personality from the beginning.

He seems to want to say heck with crawling and start walking already and gets SO excited about standing up and getting from one place to another.  Today, he pulled himself from crawling to almost standing on the dishwasher.  Once he gets going he is going to be a speedster.

Wyatt's 1st Fourth of July

Happy 4th of July, Everyone!!!

Wyatt is sleeping away with no idea that it is our country's birthday.  He got to go to a genuine southern BBQ yesterday.  We ate ribs, well, Rob and I ate ribs and enjoyed ourselves.  Wyatt had a blast with the puppies and laughed everytime they were near.  Rob let him play with with one, and he got excited and reached out which just encouraged the puppy to lick his arms and face.  Wyatt squealed and laughed.  I almost wanted to bring one home to be Wyatt's puppy, but he's still a bit young for his own dog.

Here are a few pictures from the last month.  We have had such a wonderful summer so far and have enjoyed watching Wyatt grow and change and become more and more his own little man.

Wyatt Colvin... cutest baby ever.



He's ready to crawl and be active!




Ready to go!

Whew!  It's tough tryin' to represent mommy's college with all these TN fans.  Go Marshall!!!

Fun Times

We've had a very fun and eventful month.  Rob, Wyatt, and I just got home from Baker, NV and got to see all the Hamil-babies, Violet, Ava, and Isaac.  We loved seeing everyone and got to stay in Vegas which is always interesting.



Wyatt did really well on the plane and the long drive to my brother's house in Baker.  He was really unhappy for the first 10 minutes of the first flight, but once Rob calmed him down and he took his bottle, he slept the rest of the flight.  I even did a diaper change on the side of the road in the middle of no where.  We passed some critical habitat for desert tortoises, and I really enjoyed being back in the west and absorbing that high elevation sunshine.  Rob got to snake hunt with Bryan, and we both got to help with rattlesnake surgeries.  Wyatt seemed to enjoy all the attention and meeting his cousins.  He is such a content little man and was a great traveler.

I have more pictures to add later and some more videos.  This one is old from when Wyatt first started tummy time.  He has since learned how to push with his legs and is much stronger.  He'll be crawling in no time, and I can already tell when he gets going there will be no stopping him.  I can tell by the way he looks around that he is ready to move and explore!

Happy Easter

Today was Wyatt's very first Easter, and we had a big day.  We went to church and listened to the organ music which I think he finds soothing.  I always expect the loud music to scare him but even when he's sleeping it doesn't seem to phase him.  After that, we visited the Moss family and baby West who is just 6 months older than him.  We came home and walked to the neighbors' who have family with twin 7 month old boys.  Wyatt is already making friends and not even old enough to know it!

Rob gets Wyatt laughing like no one else, and I was able to catch it on video.

Wyatt also got to attend his first crawlfish boil yesterday.

Look at all the crayfish!

He's very curious.

Best Buddies

I'm so glad it's finally spring and good weather for getting outside and enjoying the day.  Our azaleas are booming wonderfully and provided a great picture opportunity.  Wyatt is just starting to sit in his Bumbo but still a bit small for it.  I love the way he just looks so chilled out sitting up.

3 months old

Wyatt is now 3 months old and loves to smile and coo.  We had a 20 minute conversation the other day if only I knew what he was saying.  He is so much more aware and grabs objects now and even plays with one of his toys.  Here are a couple of videos and new pictures.

 

Dress up

I've been having a ton of fun dressing Wyatt up in some of the out-fits people have given us.  I was so excited to find out he fits in the camouflage out-fit Rob's parents bought us and added a little flannel shirt my mom got when he was born.  I know someday he won't let me dress him up and take his picture so even more reason to enjoy it now!

 

 

Here are a few more pictures...

Visitors

Robert and Vicky came to visit for a weekend with Shane, Treetie, Logan, and Riley.  I didn't get very many pictures, because I was enjoying just spending time with everyone.  The weather was wonderful, and we walked to the park and passed the football in the yard.  It was one of those great glimpses of springtime weather, and Wyatt got to meet his cousins and Uncle Shane and Aunt Treetie.
