Nine Month Photos - Ridgemeade Photography

My sister is a photographer, a REALLY, REALLY good photographer. While we were in North Carolina I asked if she would take some nine month photos of Wyatt. Being the awesome aunt she is, she agreed.

I'm so very thankful that she captured our little nine month old man. These are some of my favorite pictures ever. 

Huge thanks to Aunt J (Ridgemeade Photography) and her talent! We love you!!!

First nap in his crib. Poor kid lost all of his hair on top of his head, making him look like a little five week old man!

Now that Wyatt is getting older I wanted to see if there were any local activities I could sign him up for that would get both of us out of the house. I saw that a local gym had swim lessons for babies starting at nine months old. Their second winter session was going to start right after Wyatt turned nine months old, so I figured it was meant to be. Plus, I don't want him to ever be scared of water.

Currently we're four classes in and Wyatt LOVES it. It's a quick 30 minute class in which we sing songs and get the babies comfortable with being in the water. Wyatt has had no issues with being in the pool. And momma loves it because it usually leads to a good morning nap and some quality pool time with her little man.

Wyatt has been pretty hysterical when we take him. He usually spends the first five minutes of class splashing and squealing with excitement. I'm glad that he's enjoying this activity and it gives us something to look forward to each week. Only a few weeks left until our session is over and then we'll have to wait for him to get a little older before signing up for the next session.

Swim class leads to falling asleep, while sitting up!

I'm trying to catch up on Wyatt's monthly posts. If you're interested I've posted his nine month update here. I'm working on his ten month post and will hopefully have that done in the next few days!

In the meantime a few sleeping pictures of my little...

The new Mr. and Mrs.! One of the best days ever!!!

Wyatt - 10 Months

Stats:
No appointment this month, but he's still a growing boy.

Sleep: 
Wyatt is still a two day napper, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Each one lasts anywhere from 1.5 to 2 hours. Sometimes if he's really tired, or mommy is really lucky, he will nap longer.

Little man is STILL getting up multiple times each night. Usually I just have to go in and adjust him in his crib, cover him back up and stick a paci in his mouth and he's good to go. It'll be nice when he finally sleeps through the night! Mommy is very much looking forward to that day!

Eating:
Wyatt has continued to be a really good eater. He continues to eat less 'baby' food and more of what we have on our plates. Two things that we've discovered he doesn't really care for are PB&J and strawberries. As soon as they go in his mouth they come right back out. 

Diapering:
We are still cloth diapering and loving it. He has also moved up to a size 5 for his nighttime diaper. We had a week where it seemed like he was peeing out of every diaper and waking up wet each night, so to size 5 it was. We've had no issues since moving up a size.

Clothes:
Mommy packed up all his 9 month clothing and he is now wearing all 12 month shirts and 12-18 month pants, due to his bulky cloth diapers. He is also in 12-18 month PJs.

Social:
This month mommy went back to work to help with busy season, so Wyatt's daddy and his Georgia grands watched him. He got lots of attention and loving while mommy was away, which made the transition easy. He didn't seem to miss a beat during the day but was attached to mommy and daddy each night when we got home.

The weather this winter has been so cold and snowy, so Wyatt spent most of his time this month at home playing with toys and entertaining his grandparents.

Highlights & Milestones:
He started using his walker to walk back and forth across our family room. He is still crawling everywhere and pulling up on whatever he can.

He has also learned how to high five and gets so proud of himself when he gives them out.

Wyatt also has become quite the dancer. He absolutely loves when we play the video for the song Happy by Pharrell. We will hold him up in the air and he goes crazy kicking his legs.

He still loves anything with wheels and spins.
