April/May
We celebrated Easter and Mimi's birthday. We had a lot of fun. Wheaton got to meet a real Easter Bunny (Colby's bunny, Gilly). So cute! I swear he waved (intentionally) at my brother on Easter. We had been working on waving for a couple of weeks. He's got the motion down pretty well, but he doesn't usually actually wave at anyone.
Wheaton had his nine month doctor's appointment and the stats are in:
Weight: 17 pounds 11 ounces
Height: 26 and 1/2 inches
Cutness: 100%
The little stinker's eyes are still as blue as can be. I don't know why I have had such a hard time accepting that they are going to stay blue. His eye are gorgeous; I guess I just assumed he would have brown eyes (like both of his parents). The jury is still out on the hair. I am not even going to wager a guess on that one. It could turn out purple for all I know!

As you can see some of Wheaton's favorite things include going to the pool and hanging out with Mimi and Papa. He also still loves long strolls around the neighborhoodand bathtime and animals still crack him up. He occasionally enjoys a Baby Genius video before heading off to "school" in the morning. This month he started doing this new smile which is hilarious. He scrunches up his whole face as if he just can't smile big enough to express his happiness. It is really cute. He continues to protest during tummy time and it looks like he will walk before he crawls; he loves standing up while holding onto to something and has excellent balance.
I have started planning Wheaton's first birthday party. I can't believe it has almost been a year! It is going to be a small affair, mostly family. Adam's mom, his sister and her family will all be here to help us celebrate. I am still in the early planning process, but I think we have settled on a theme. Stay tuned for the details.
You can really see Wheaton's personality developing. He thinks his dad is hilarious and he loves to make his mommy laugh. One of his favorite things to do is bite Adam's nose. Adam always screams and is very dramatic. Wheaton always looks over at me when he's done. I am always laughing histarically which makes Wheaton laugh as well. Then he does the whole thing over again.

February/March
He had his very first guitar lesson from Daddy!
He smiles and laughs every time they come in the room!
Another amazing event that occured in early March........
We actually got snow in Richmond! And Enjoyed a snow day!I think Wheaton had mixed feelings about the snow.
His eyes are still blue which is really funny because Adam and I both have brown eyes.
Wheaton is now spending most nights in his crib, which is progress. Unfortunately he is still not sleeping through the night.
Wheaton now has two teeth on the bottom and I think he is working on two up top.
He has added several new foods to his repitoire of menu options including:
Oatmeal cereal, avocado, carrots, peaches, pears, green beans, and gerber puffs
He is also able to feed himself the Gerber puffs and put his pacifier in his mouth on his own.....a great skill!
Here are a couple of my other favorite photos from the past two months:
I will do my best to get my April post up in a timely manner, but I can't make any promises. Babies sure are time consuming!
