The Brown's: February 2011

9 weeks old and Wyatt's 2 month doctor visit

Late last week we went for the dreaded two month doctor visit. Both Mom and Wyatt suffered through him getting some shots. ugh! But for the fun news. Wyatt is in the 98%percentile for a 2-month old baby - he is 24 1/4 inches long and is 15 lbs 8 oz! And as you can see in the pictures Wyatt has got some cheeks!

So now that Wyatt's neck is strong we thought we would have him try sitting in his Bumbo seat. A Bumbo seat allows a baby to sit upright without any help once they are able to hold their head on their own. As you can see below, Wyatt's thighs got stuck in it!

Wyatt is 2 months old!

It is hard to believe that 2 months time has passed! Time has flown by for sure! Wyatt continues to grow and develop. He now cooing responds back to you by looking directly at you, cooing, smiling or laughing. So much fun to watch him and hear what he has to say. Wyatt, Aaron and I enjoyed being at Grandma and Poppa's house and appreciated everyone's help! Below are some 2 month pictures of Wyatt taken with several generations (Wyatt, Mom, Aunt Chelsea, Grandma Andie and GG). Aaron is not in the pictures because he had already returned to Virginia.

Wyatt's latest adventures

So it has been some time since our last post. Here is what Wyatt has been up to over the last month:

Week 5: Wyatt started to grab onto things -- like the shirt of the person holding him or mom's hair! He has also followed people's movements with both his eyes and head. He still loves to be cuddled and held; he's our little snuggle bug. He has started to enjoy his bath time too.

Week 6: Wyatt has started to smile for us! What a wonderful reward! His hair has also started to sprout up some noticeable new growth as well as starting to grow some eyebrows. He continues to get bigger and stronger too! His neck is getting stronger and he can hold his head on his own for a few minutes before he needs a break. He enjoys spending tummy time on his playmat. On February 3rd Wyatt took his first airplane ride from Baltimore (BWI) to Phoenix (PHX). He was a fabulous traveler and barely made a peep! Whew!

Week 7: Wyatt finally got to meet his Aunt Chelsea and Great Grandma (GG) as well as lots of family and friends. Grandma Andie and Poppa were so excited to share Wyatt that they held an open house to acquaint him with family friends and to celebrate Poppa's 65th birthday. He also got to enjoy walks in the Phoenix sunshine too! Wyatt is also getting very good at maintaining eye contact and following that persons movements.
