Lane ~ 9 weeks

Lane had his 2 month appointment on December 23rd. He weighed in at 13.2 pounds (76 percentile) and 24 inches (87 percentile). His head is 44 percentile. His doctor was very happy with his eating and sleeping habits and reassured me that it is completely normal for him to still be eating every 2-3 hours (taking 4-5 ounces of pumped breast milk) and sleeping at 3-4 hour increments. I expressed my concern that he is not sleeping longer at night, but she thinks he will get there very soon. With the sickness and hospital stay, Lane has been through a lot, but he'll get there. It may not be before I return to work, but it should be soon. He got 3 vaccinations and was so brave! Our sweet Lane is so laid back with the doctor - let's hope it stays that way - unlike Reese who would cry when I placed her on the scale for her weight. Lane did cry when he got the shots (and I forgot the sugar water), but he recovered quickly, finished his bottle and slept for 2 hours. Matt and I treated ourselves to breakfast at Buffalo Grille and took a tour of the house while Lane napped in his carrier.

At 9 weeks, Lane is cooing and responds when spoken to.

He loves to kick in his bouncer and in his bath.

Lane really enjoys his bath time. It's a fun bonding experience for the two of us. He is very calm during and afterwards while I dress him.

This week Lane began talking to his mobile and Grandma swears he laughed in his sleep.
