Doctor Visit

Lane's new stats:

Lane gained 2.5 lbs for a grand total of 18 lbs 12 oz - 75th percentile. He has always been in the 75th percentile for weight.

He only grew 1/2 inch in the last couple months for a total of 28.5 inches long. He is still in the 97th percentile for height.

Lane's head is 18 inches around, his head grew a 1/2 inch - 95th percentile, this has also stayed the same.

Dr. Schmidt says Lane is doing very well. His next visit is at 9 months.

1st Haircut

Lane had is first haircut! Some places it was 4 inches long other places it was a cm long. One time I thought there was one of my hairs on his head because it was sticking out so far and I pulled it. Oooops, it was attached! So I gave Lane a trim to even things out. He did so well, he sat nice and still.

Poor Baby Lane

Lane had a rough day today. We ran some errands and as soon as we got home he started crying (that is putting it lightly) and I could tell he was in pain. After looking him over making sure he wasn't cutting teeth, had a stomach ache, or was constipated, I called the doctor to try and get an appointment. I wasn't able to get him an appointment, so I had to take him to urgent care. Good thing I did, because he has a double ear infection and is in a lot of pain. Poor little guy. I was able to get him to sleep for now, but I think we are in for a long night. Hopefully I can give him enough comfort until the medication kicks in. Please say a prayer for our little buddy to get well soon!

Baby Wipes

Today I made Handmade Baby Wipes, here is the recipie:

Makes 2 batches:

4 cups boiling water
4 TBS Johnson’s baby bath soap
4 TBS Johnson’s baby lotion
2 TBS Johnson's baby oil
1 roll Bounty Paper Towels (cut in half)
2 airtight containers to fit paper towels

Directions:

■Mix together the liquids then pour half (approximately 2 cups) into each container. Place paper towel rolls in the liquid and seal containers. Wait 5 minutes then flip the containers over to evenly distribute the solution on the paper towels. Make sure to use containers that are airtight and can hold boiling hot water.
■Remove the cardboard tubes from the center of the rolls, then use the wipes by pulling the towel from the center.
Baby soap and lotion can be changed to whichever brand you prefer.

Spitter

All about Lane!

Lane continues to grow in leaps and bounds! He is learning very quickly and is doing some very cute things. He has learned to pucker his lips and make a spitting noise that I think is adorable.

Lane has started to respond to words in a very ackowledging way. He understands the words hungry (he opens his mouth) baba, which means bottle (he smiles and sucks his thumb) and night night, which means bedtime (he kicks his legs, smiles, coos and cuddles his face).

We have a very good bedtime routine and Lane VERY much looks forward to bed and it makes him very very happy. He is a sweetie!

Lane is moving around on the floor. Not crawling, but he can get his knees underneath him and he pushes off. He can roll wherever he would like to go, so he is mobile.
