Lanes Birthday Party
Lane's party was adorable! I couldn't have done it without the help of Granny. She made the decorations, cookies, chocolates, and more!
Lane is ONE!
Our baby is one! It has been such a joy watching you grow baby boy! And you have grown so quickly! We are still waiting on you to take off and walk! You know how if you could just get the courage to go go go! We have seen you walk across the living room and down the hall, but you still just prefer to be a lazy little guy and crawl (which is much faster,) or be held of course.
At one year Lane weighs 24.8 pounds and is 30" long. You are not quite as tall as big brother was at a year, but you are still in the 90th percentile for both weight and height so we will have another big and tall fella!
As far as foods go you love to eat! You aren't too picky either. Some of your favorite foods are peas, green beans, watermelon, blueberries, french fries, and eggs just like your brother!
You are a very smart little guy and understand a lot of what we are saying! You definitely know what walk means, because you usually scream when I tell you to walk. You know who mama, dada, and hunter are. You always pick up the phone and put it to your ear when I tell you to say hello! You have been screaming when you get mad lately! VERY LOUDLY! You also scream and hit when Hunter takes a toy or gets in your face. Hopefully you two will learn to get along as you grow, haha.
You are not a talker yet... you will say words and then I don't hear them again for quite some time. You used to say uh-oh all the time and I never hear it anymore! mama, dada, and no are your favorites though.
We are loving your little personality that you are growing in to and can't wait to see the boy you will grow into! Love you baby boy!!

Lane 10 and 11 months
We have had a whirlwind of a spring this year! So I'm combining 2 months into one blog post! Sorry, I'm behind! Lane has changed so much lately. He is becoming quite a little boy! He started crawling really good at 10 months, no more army crawl! He did a funky crawl for awhile where the stuck one leg out straight and drug it to the side while the other leg was bent in a crawling position. Our whole 10th month for Lane was spent at Donsbach's house. We had so much fun living there! Our boys really miss them, as do we! This is where Lane started saying uh oh! He would drop something and make a humming noise at the same voice as uh oh and then we started realizing what he was saying! So cute! This is probably his first REAL word besides dadada jabber. He also stared saying hiiii. He is funny with his words though he goes through phases where he says them and then I don't hear them again for awhile.
Poor guy has had a very rough past 3 months with ear infections. They have basically been non-stop since about February. He's been on every kind of antibiotic and none seem to clear it for more than a day and then its back. So, sleep hasn't been wonderful lately either! He is finally getting tubes on June 12th.
He is weighing about 22 pounds and still wearing size 4 shoe, 4 diaper, and 12-18 month clothes. His pants are needing to be 18 months though, he is quite tall for his age!
He is a garbage disposal when it comes to eating! He will eat anything you put in front of him! I usually feed him eggs and toast for breakfast, turkey dogs, cheese, fruit, or some kind of sandwhich for lunch, and then he eats whatever we eat for dinner! I'm so glad he doesn't have trouble swallowing food like Hunter did/does! We couldn't get Hunter to eat meat until he was about 2 1/2 or so. Lane seems to have no problem! He can even eat steak! He still has only 4 teeth too. It looks like some more top teeth are coming in on the sides and his gums feel swollen in the back for some molars to come in soon as well! At 11 months we ditched the formula and switched to regular milk! WOO HOO!
He is not an awesome napper like Hunter was either. He will sometimes take two naps but sometimes its just one... If he takes two they're usually about an hour each, and if its one nap its usually 2 hours. Unfortunately we started having to rock him whenever he stood up in his crib too. So it takes him forever to go down for a nap and for bed! I'm hoping this summer we can break him of this habbit!
He pulls up on anything and everything but will not walk alone yet. Hoping soon!
We love you Laner bug!

Lane 9 months
Our little Lane is growing up and doing so many new tricks! His newest trick is pulling up in his crib to a standing position. He can also clap now! I bet he will be pulling up on furniture and then walking before we know it! I am not ready for that!
At 9 months Lane is weighin in at 22 pounds still. He has his official appointment this week so I'll get where he is on the charts after that. I believe he is slowing down though! He still seems tall but not near as chubby. I guess crawling everywhere is burning off some calories! He is still wearing 12 and some 12-18 month clothes, size 4 diaper.
He will no longer eat baby food. He wants nothing to do with it! I have started buying the little individual containers of veggies and he loves those. He can eat a whole container plus some! Its nice that he is so good at feeding himself too! His favorite foods right now are peas, green beans, corn, peaches, eggs, and mac n cheese! He wants to feed himself all of these foods!
He doesn't say many words yet. We have heard hi and dada. Officially his first word was hi though, haha. He still jabbers a lot just nothing we know as words.
His temper is growing! Diaper changes, and not getting what he wants will result in a full on scream with the legs kickin. This boy's temper is fierce! I believe he will be a strong willed child! He has such a sweet temperament too. He loves to cuddle and when you make him smile he buries his head into your shoulder for a hug. First thing in the morning he wants a hug too! There was one day he had snot on him and I already had my work clothes on so I tried holding him out and he threw a fit because he wanted snuggled right away! He still has a paci too. He isn't super attached though so I think he will be easy to break.
We are in the middle of packing up our house for our big move in the next 6 weeks! So, I hope the boys do okay with that! I don't think it will bother Lane except that we may have to live with my aunt for a week or so in between houses and Lane doesn't like the pack n play too well. So, we'll see how he does with that!

Lane 8 months
Lane at 8 months...
He is on the move! He has 2 teeth! What a big month of changes it has been! Mr. Lane is into EVERYTHING. I do not remember Hunter being so fast and so interested in things he can't have, haha. He will find any cord you have within 20 feet of him, and it will be in his mouth immediately. He will also find that microscopic piece of food you missed when you vacuumed 10 seconds ago. Holy Bejesus this kid is fast. I am finding that I have to vacuum daily and that is the whole house, not just the living room. He army crawls, like Hunter did, all through the house!
He seems to be less interested in his bottles lately too. He is all about the food! If you are eating he wants to be eating! He is eating 2 gerber baby foods at every meal, which means I have to buy a million of them every week! I have been starting to try some table food! He has had scrambled eggs, corn, and chewed on a breadstick, haha. He is loving the table foods! I just can't scoop his food into his mouth fast enough! He gets his little hands a waving and feet a kicking!
He is literally always happy, unless it's 8:00 pm and he is still awake, haha. He would rather be in bed sleeping. We are so blessed with such a happy guy! He is still sleeping great at night. Even though Hunter slept through the night early on he was always up with an ear infection. Lane has only had 1 and I didn't even know he had it! He still slept which is why I didn't even suspect it was bothering him. I am thinking he had it for like 2 weeks though because he was running a fever for that long on and off. That was also the week he got teeth too! Poor guy had a rough few weeks!
He is in 12-18 month clothes, 21 pounds, and 29 1/2 inches long when I measured him. He wears size 4 diapers, and he doesn't wear shoes very often but the ones he has are 6-12 month. I can't believe he will be walking in a few months! I love my baby and hate to think of him becoming a toddler soon! A lot of people don't love the baby stage but I do! I would love for him to stay a baby as long as possible! Although I know how fun the next stages of life are going to be too! I am so ready for my summer off with my babies! That is my most cherished time of the whole year! I always look so forward to it. With the weather becoming a little warmer it is making me so antsy for May to come!
I need to start thinking about the big first birthday party! Lane's not near as in to the TV as Hunter was so I may just do something cute instead of a character theme this year.
We just got Lane's pictures back from his 7 month photo shoot with Lydia! He is such a cutie I can hardly stand it! His hair looks a little more red in these than it is in person.

This picture captures his personality to a T! He is so sweet all the time! Such a cuddle bug and happy boy!
Loving on his brother! So adorable!

Lane 7 months
His schedule hasn't changed much but we have started laying him down in his crib for naps and letting him put himself to sleep. He does great! We didn't even have to try very hard! The first time I tried it he did great. He used to get mad if he flipped to his back while sleeping, but now he rolls all around and he doesn't mind sleeping on his side, belly, or back. It kind of makes me said I don't get to rock him as much anymore, so I usually still rock him before bed at night, for my sake :) They grow up so fast and he won't be little long! I am trying to treasure each and every baby moment as we are now closer to his first birthday! This guy is going to be a heart breaker. He smiles SO easily and never cries. He is in love with his family, especially his brother! I think these two will be best buddies!
Lane also loves playing on the floor. He isn't crawling yet but he does love spinning on his belly and he reaches and tries so hard to get things. I haven't seen him scooting yet or army crawling but hopefully soon! I already had to throw some of Hunter's toys away that had small pieces. It makes me nervous having him crawling around now that Hunter has so many different toys he could get in to!
As far as size goes he hasn't changed much from 6 months. He is still wearing 12 month clothes and weighing right at around 20 pounds. He is also 28 inches, not 26 like this picture says--oops! He is on his last package of size 3 diapers and then we will move him to size 4.

Developmentally, he reaches for people, passes toys from hand to hand, gives kisses, and does this waving thing with his hand. It's not really him waving at people, it is just a habit thing he does. My parents used to tell me that I did it when I was a baby too. He is proving to be more and more like his mom. Most people tell me Hunter looks more like Jared now and Lane looks more like me. He definitely has my eyes! I always had really squinty small eyes until I was older then I kind of grew out of it. He is starting to get bigger eyes too. He is sitting like a pro now and rolling all over the house! I need to keep trying the sippy cup to get him used to it. We don't use it much just because I usually don't think of it. I really want to do just water with him and not get him on the habit of juice like Hunter was. It's so bad for their teeth! I'd like to stay away from it if possible! So far he doesn't seem to mind water!
He is still on his AR formula. I am looking forward to the day we don't have to buy that anymore! However, I did find it cheaper online so that is a plus!
