He has discovered that shaking his head from side to side means no, and he knows up and down (he will even point up or down)! He will shake his little pointer finger at the dog and try to say "no no piggy". His third tooth came in......FINALLY! It seemed like it would be forever, but it's in about half way. I think there are 2 more on the way in too.
It seems like all I have to do is blink...and he's learned something new, or grown another inch, or gotten another tooth. I love all of the new and exciting things he does, but in a way it makes me sad. Sad that he's not really a baby any more. I'm afraid that tomorrow I will wake up and it will be his first day of school, or he'll be riding a bike. It just seems like childhood doesn't last very long any more.
I remember Grandma, in her bed at the hospital....after we knew that there was nothing that they could do, looking at Wyatt with tears in her eyes and simply saying..."I wonder who you'll be?" I was thinking about that last night, and that's when I realized, that we are still "Making Wyatt". Every one around us in making him, all of his family, who loves him dearly. Even the strangers, who always tell him just how super cute he is! And I especially think about Grandma, who in a way is helping make him who he'll be, because she made me who I am! I will forever love her and be grateful for that.
I want to enjoy every moment with him, every experience. I am so grateful that God entrusted us with him...I'm so glad that we have this chance, the chance to make a great human being! That's why, for now...I am going to stick with "The Making of Wyatt". We are still making him, making him the person he will be.
Thanks for listening to my ramblings...if you even made it this far! I appreciate it :)
