Well, it certainly has been long enough
Wow. Time sure does fly with a new baby. Wyatt's already 5 months (on Wednesday) and I can't believe how much he's grown. I look at pictures of his first weekend or see a newborn somewhere and have a hard time believing that my child was ever that small. He started smiling real smiles about Christmas time (I know, he wasn't even a month old at that point), and laughed a week later or so. He's been smiling and laughing ever since at everyone and everything. I have video on our cell phones of the first time he rolled from his front to back. Still hasn't mastered rolling from back to front yet, but that'll come in time. He is blowing raspberries, chewing on his toes, reaching for everything (and attempting to put it all into his mouth), and so much more. He's tickilish so I have tons of fun seeing how I can make him laugh from one day to the next, or even from one minute to the next as he'll be laughing and then stop laughing for a preferred smile, until I do something new.
Michael does a great job with him by playing, keeping him entertained if I'm busy, carrying him around some, and generally being such a good big brother. It's nice that he does that, there's not much jealousy and what is there we're all working around/through.
Michael's football team last fall made it to the Superbowl (second time in a row) but this time they came up short and didn't win. Hopefully next year. He is pretty sure he did great on his WASL's. I hate those tests. They're standardized tests that are required to graduate high school. If you don't pass all sections your last year taking them, you don't graduate. So as a result the teachers have to teach to the test. I really wish they could get rid of them, or find a better way. The tests are run every year, but I think they only count at certain grades, and they last 2 weeks. That's 2 weeks my kid isn't learning anything new. He's just spitting out what they've told him.
Oh well. Gotta run though, time to take the baby to my in-laws for the day so I can go to work. Hopefully I'll find time to post before another 5 months goes by an dI don't realize it.
