We made it. Phew.
One whole month of joy with WVL. After getting past that first week hump, Wyatt has been healthy as can be, gaining over a pound in the past two weeks. He has ballooned to a whopping 6.5lbs and we can't be happier.
It's remarkable how much he has changed each day. I feel as if a new light switch gets flipped on and we get to have front row seats as he discovers new pieces of himself and the world. It was amazing to see the first time he was able to track my movement with his eyes. I held him in my arms out in front for a good ten minutes and just moved my head from side to side in order to watch him follow me. It was awesome.
We have also started laying him on a play mat with the hanging mobile, which he has now discovered makes noise when he swipes at it with his hands. Tummy time is also going pretty well. His neck is really strong. I'm sure every parent says that, but this boy loves to just lift his head and try to keep it up as long as possible. Awesome.
I think it's a matter of days before Wyatt gives us a full smile (while awake) and I cannot wait!
Happy Birthday Wyatt! I can't wait for the next big thing.
How adorable!! (And posted at 5:40am sounds about right for a new dad. =)) He's really so adorable, and I'm so glad he's gaining well and doing all sorts of fun stuff to keep Mom & Dad entertained!!
