7 months and 1 tooth

Lane turned 7 months old on Tuesday, May 17th. He is still the sweetest boy we have ever seen. Reese absolutely loves him and he adores her right back.

Reese shares Eyore with Lane. Lane also shares all of his toys with Reese. She just loves to play in his room and his baby toys. She likes to say, "When I was a baby, I played with this." She says that about everything that Lane does - to make sure we remember that she did those things too when she was a baby!






The kids were playing in my room while I got ready one Saturday.





Off to the park - I had to get a shot of Reese in these jeans because her little bottom looked so cute. Notice the new kicks she is wearing - finally tennis shoes again! She wouldn't wear them for the longest time.






Swinging together - I think Reese has outgrown it!





And look who came with us to the park - Eyore!



Look at that baby boy - oh just love him so much!







I came home during lunch one day and took this - he was just smiling and being happy. While on the floor, Lane can now roll everywhere. On carpet he doesn't mind as much, but when on this blanket on the wood floors he doesn't like it when he rolls off and onto them. Probably because they are hard and cold. I had to take Reese's Dora doll house upstairs to her room today (I was just waiting for the day) because Lane is moving more on his tummy, so we've got to keep those small doll house pieces from him.




It reminded me of Reese when she was also 7 months.





I had been meaning to take recent towel head pics - finally I remembered to bring the camera upstairs so we could after bath time.





He smiles like this ALL the time.





And for the 7 month staged shot...





The feet always go in the mouth - when you feed him, when you change him, when you take his picture, etc.








Here, Lane is looking at Reese while she plays with "his" toys. I told you, he loves to share with her. ;)





Love this baby face - what a great shot.



So, I see that I managed to make Lane's 7 month blog a lot about Reese too, but they are so much a part of each other's lives. I don't want to leave that out. So Lane, forgive me.






Today, Sunday the 23rd of May, I noticed Lane's first tooth. It's on the bottom left (my right when facing him). It's just peeking through. Finally!!! Poor baby has been in lots of pain lately, so I hoped it would finally pop out.




Other updates on Lane at 7 months:




He is still sleeping through the night with out a bottle. If he cries, he generally puts himself back to sleep. Most nights he goes down very easy after an 8 ounce bottle; except for tonight. He cried for at least 30 minutes. I think he was just very tired from a long weekend of travel to San Antonio and then hanging out with GiGi while Matt and I ran errands this afternoon.




He loves his pacifier now. When he is fussing and we give it to him he calms right down. I only wasted a few bottles thinking he was hungry when all he actually wanted was the paci.




He eats every 4 hours and does cereal with fruit/veggies 3 times a day. His bottles still range from 4-6 ounces during the day.




He stands up very strong on your lap and in the saucer. He also jumps and kicks when he gets excited. Today he had a blast at GiGi's in her saucer - they said he jumped and played and got all excited. Then later, when I got him ready for his bath, he kicked and kicked when I started running the water.




He does very well in the baby bjorn - I carry him in it quite a bit these days when we are outside.
