Yup, let the slobber begin....

Wyatt's almost 5 months now and just in the last week or so, he's developed so much! He's slobbing and chomping more so I went and bought some 'teething supplies' as T said- a couple of toys and a food/mesh thing (made to hold ice/frozen foods/crackers for him to hold and gnaw on without choking. So begins this next stage I guess...

On top of that, he's starting to like tummy time, so much so that he's rolling over onto his stomach to sleep at night. Before we get a rush of concerned mail saying SIDS and EVIL... HE started rolling over on his own and has the strength to hold his head up, we don't keep anything in the crib with him and the first night he did this, we went in like 50+ times to make sure he was still breathing b/c we were SO freaked out.

He's also starting to sit up more although when given the chance (in somebody's hands) he'd rather stand and dance and stomp. He loves his jumperoo for just this reason- he can kick and sway and have a blast. Oh, and he loves shadows and ceiling fans.

Verbalization- starting more squeals and a wider range of sounds- he seems to move his tongue a bit more now, it curls up tweaking the sounds... still just goos and gaas and squeals but pretty neat. He likes it when I sing my silly alphabet song (Ah Ah, Ba Ba, Ca Ca, Da Da...) he laughs and likes the AH sounds I guess.

So yeah, hope to get more pics and video up before I go back to Austin next week. Wyatt and I will be over there from the 16th thru the 28th visiting mom and friends. More later....

Our best teething solution was a moist clean baby washcloth, rolled into a tube, bent into a circle, and frozen. Chomp!
