Believe it or nuts!

And the exciting conclusion!

Wyatt and the giant blueberry

For your viewing pleasure!

If you look closely in this picture, you can see Wyatt's two front teeth (and the spacious gap in between them!). Wyatt now has 8 teeth. I hope he gets a little break between these and the next ones that will be coming in.




Summer, Jack and Wyatt at the Silverlake Reservoir. Summer and I have been walking around it every Friday for the past 3 Fridays. We go around it twice, so it is 4.4 miles! The boys will usually fall asleep around mile 2.

Our new friends Summer and Jack.



Jack wanted to taste Wyatt, or at least give him a kiss...


We went to a new park yesterday that was the site of the Old Zoo in Griffith Park. What you see behind us are the old structures for the Zoo that they just left up!






I turned on an electric shaver, and this is the face that Wyatt made.


looking over the perilous edge of the bed. I love how Jeremy is holding on to Wyatt to protect him.


Summer, Jack, Wyatt and I went for a long walk around the Silverlake Reservoir. Wyatt faced forward, and he really liked it!


We got to go to Joseph's last basketball game! Joseph did great, and we had a lot of fun. No pictures of Katie this time, because she was not in the mood to take pictures!

Pass it to me, I'm open!!

Food, Glorious Food!

The biggest change from this week is that Wyatt is now eating solid foods! He is really getting the hang of it, as you can see from the videos below. We have had a really fun week, so here are some pictures from it!

On Saturday the 23rd, we went to a street fair called the Sunset Junction. There was live music , carnival rides, and food and vendor booths. There was a lot to see, but Wyatt slept through some of it. I am making the sad face because it was pretty loud, so we made little ear muffs out of a blanket. He looks like George Washington!

Wyatt's first time in a pool at Curtis and Jessica's for Jessica's birthday party! He didn't love it, but he didn't hate it. We'll see how he does on future excursions.


Jeremy eating pizza in a jacuzzi. What a life, huh?


Wyatt made a new friend this week. His name is Jack, and he was born one day after Wyatt!

Cutie pies!



First bites of rice cereal. He wasn't sure if he liked it.



Asleep with his blue dog!



Dangerously close to outgrowing his car seat...



Autie Dorothy's bowling birthday party!



Jeremy would like you to know that he bowled a 177, but would have gotten a much higher score if he had played a 3rd game, and if they didn't turn off the lights for glow in the dark bowling.



Wyatt in his new tie-dye shirt from Grandma Mare in Kalamazoo!


There is a small park near our neighborhood that has little kiddie sized fountains. Wyatt definitely did not like it at first, but he warmed up to it because his daddy gave him courage.

I love the look on Wyatt's face in this picture...




Fish face! He is experimenting with many different looks these days!


This is a little video snippet from Wyatt's first feeding. Wyatt is a boy of many talents. He can eat, choke, hiccup and smile at the same time!





In just a few short days, he is becoming a pro!
