It's been a while since I told you what's up with my grandson, Wyatt Smith. He's almost six weeks old, and he came over on Sunday for a quick visit (along with Ryan and Megan, of course).
You know that cliché that every newborn looks like Winston Churchill. Hardly a compliment, but often true. Well, the little guy is definitely changing from Winston to Wyatt. He no longer has that newborn look; he looks like a baby boy... like, well, himself!
What's even more cool is to see him connecting with people, smiling, making baby noises (other than crying!). That's especially gratifying for parents, who give and give for weeks... feeding, changing, always at baby's beck and call. Now, Wyatt's starting to give back, starting to recognize Mom and Dad. Those first few weeks can be especially draining. A knowing look from baby, or the curl of a smile, are sweet moments that really go a long way to recharging a new parent's batteries.
Check out the latest photos of Wyatt on Megan and Ryan's blog, the Smitty Gritty.
I'm so happy for Megan and Ryan. And if you can't tell, I'm really enjoying being a grandpa!
