Wyatt Month 5

Dear Wyatt,
You seem so big these days. Well, not literally very big. At your 4 month check-up, your already small weight percentile had plummeted even further, so I am trying to fatten you up with extra feedings. But in all other areas, I'm starting to see glimpses of Wyatt The Little Boy, not just Wyatt The Baby.
You love to sit and stand with assistance, even though you're a little wobbly when you stand and look like you're doing the hula. This month you rolled from back to front, though it was with lots of effort, squealing, and tears. You would try and try and get so mad, but instead of taking a break, you just kept at it until you got it. You easily roll from front to back, and your legs seem to be constantly kicking. As I look ahead at the skills you'll be developing in the next couple months, we're really moving into a new era of baby.
This month, Dad went on a week long trip to London for work, and we made it without him. Auntie Vonda and Beckers came to visit for about half the week and finally got to meet you. Luckily, you slept pretty well that week so we did alright just the two of us. But we were both glad to see Daddy when he got home! Seeing the look of recognition spread across your face upon seeing him was precious. I have no way to know if you missed his presence while he was gone, but you sure were happy to see him.
In fact, you are rivaling Binky for the title of "Happy Baby." You still smile real big when I come to get you out of your crib in the morning, and are generally happy as a clam as long as you don't fuss about getting to sleep.
We shared a sweet moment together last week. You had a hard time falling asleep for your last nap of the day, so I let you nap in my arms in my bed. You started to stir, so I squinted my eyes in the hopes that if you didn't think anyone was up for playing you would go back to sleep (ha). You looked around the room a little, and then when you saw my face you smiled. You did this several times, and it was enough to bring tears to your grateful mama's eyes.
Somethings I want to remember about you now:
You want to put everything in your mouth, and do so by making a big open maw, shaking your head back and forth, and trying to cram the entirely of large objects in there. We laugh and laugh.
Your gurgle, especially during your nightly yoga.
You curl up and roll onto your side like a pill bug.
When I take you to the grocery store and wear you in the carrier, your head is the perfect height to bow down and kiss. I talk to you all through the store, and several people have done a double take to see the crazy lady who appears to be talking to herself. Then they see you and smile.
How warm and cuddly you are when you wake up.
We love you, Wyatt, and it's our honor to be your parents.
Love,
Mama
