We have a one-month old!

It's amazing how fast time flies. The older I've gotten, the more aware of how fast life is passing me by. But having a baby has sent me in to warp speed. As much as I'm ready for him to be cooing and smiling at us, I'm sad that my new baby boy is already one month old. This handsome little boy has been a true joy and a wonderful blessing from God.

Wyatt is a good sleeper. Most nights he sleeps from midnight to 4 a.m. and then 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. And if I'm really lucky, he'll take another nap until 10 a.m. It's well-needed sleep for this tired Mama.

He is so observant, looking at ceiling fans, faces and anything hanging on the wall, even the TV! During the Christmas season, Greg and I went to a craft fair to buy Christmas presents for family. While there we found four really cute paintings. We didn't realize then how much Wyatt would love them. They hang over his changing table and give him a needed distraction while he's getting his diaper changed. I also recently bought him a mobile for his crib and he loves it. 

 Speaking of crib, he's been taking naps in his big boy bed and has done well. I'm still too nervous to let him sleep in his crib all night but we're getting there.

Wyatt is a grunter. He grunts all of the time. We love it, even in the middle of the night. :)

He still goes cross-eyed now and then... and it's funny.

Wyatt got a sweet snuggle from Mommy's boss, Congressman John Carter. 

 

Our little man has a red tint to his hair. I wonder if he'll always have it or if it will change. His Daddy and I are always trying to figure out who he looks like and what color his eyes will end up being. I'm guessing green/hazel like his Daddy. 

His favorite way to fall asleep is on our chests. He curls his legs up, sucks on his paci and passes out within minutes. I'm sure we're creating a monster with this sleep method but for now, it's working and we love the cuddle time. 

Wyatt smiles. Probably by accident but it's the best thing in the world. I think he looks like a super cute mini-George W. when he smiles. What do you think?

Wyatt has finally found his thumb. He's gotten it in his mouth few times before but didn't quite know what to do with this. On his 1-month birthday, it clicked. We found him like this. So precious! 

Wyatt loves riding his in stroller and taking walks. It's been nice because it allows Mommy to get out of the house. Cabin fever!! 

I could go on and on and on... but have to get this sweet boy to bed. We love you little man! Happy one-month birthday!!
